(Here Mr.. Wilcox desired anyone
in the audience to ask him questions
relating to the alleged letters, but the
audience demanded of him to relate
to them the story of his recent politi-
cal campaign around Maui and Ha-
Waii.)
Mr.. WILCOX continuing said: A
monarchy is good, if the sovereign is
good, and so Is republic. That is my
sincere belief. have stated this oft
times before. [ detest to see an ignor-
ant coachman placed above us. L
cannot tolerate the sight of freaks of
nature. The divine right of kings
was the belief that pervaded the
minds of the people in ages gone by.
We are now in an enlightened age.
The doctrine of the divine right of
kings is just as foolish as shutting
yourself up in your closet and praying
for food. You must labor. I will now
begin our story: Mr.. White and my
self arrived at Kohala on Saturday.
We went to Multi, and there held a
meeting. The insufficiency of the
notice did not interfere with our OBJ
tanning an enormous crowd. We
addressed the people. Hon. J. X.
Kahookano is the planters candidate
there. Mr.. Kamauoha is our candi-
date, and he is very strong there. On
Monday we went to Waimea, and the
following day arrived at Hamakua.
We held meeting at Waipio. Nh.
Kaunamano represents the planters,
and J. Paakiki the Liberal Party

and Jas. NATION. At Central Hilo,
Messrs. Kauwila Unea, Koahou, Moss
man and Henry West are the candi-
dates. Hon. j. Nawahi has no
| opposition at South Hilo. We held a
meeting there, and Mr.. White spoke
| for two hours to an enthusiastic
audience. Mr.. Rycroft will likely be
put up to oppose Mr.. Nawahi. The
Reform party are still silent, but yet
they are working secretly. Rev.
Joseph will oppose Hon. Kamai at
Maizena,. Hon. /. w. P. Kanealii is
sure of election at Waikiki. At
Makawao, Hon. III. P. Baldwin has
put forward Mr.. Kaluna to oppose J.
Kamakele. At Lahaina, Hons. w.
White and F. III. Hayselden and J.W.
Kalua are in the field, Our foreign
friends have said that they would
give the preference of election to
office TO competent Hawaiians. We
have plenty of them now, but still
they are not appointed. Do not
believe in that idle talk, they
only say that to catch your
votes. They do not love Hawaii.
