Reformatory School and Hon. Jos.
Nawahi's premises, the Hon. d. ".
Pua came to the rescue of the
Liberal party, and gave up his
house and grounds to the candi-
dates. About four hundred with
women and children from the sur
rounding neighborhood turned out
to hear the political discussions Of
the Liberal party. MIR. Kunuiakea
was chairman.
Mr.. BIPIKANE 1t is commonly be-
lieved that the people are suffering
from poverty, but [ tell you the Con
stitution has been the chief griev-
ance. Kunuiakea asked the speaker:
How are you? What has been done
to you {? Bipikane expressed sur
prise at such silly question eman-
ating from the socalled Prince. Mr..
Bullock was so disguised that he
gave up speaking altogether.
e. b. THOMAS am not polltl-
clan. [ have always been used to
getting my living from the sweat of
my brow. I don't belong to the
Mechanics Union, but / ought to
have been elected by that party.
They said I am mud sill. l aspire
to go to the Legislature because [
am a mechanic, and [ know exactly
their needs. When I first came here
there were then not fifty Chinese
mechanics in this city now there
are 800 of them against 600 Hawaiian
and European mechanics. In 1888
there were. over 10000 Chinese in
this kingdom, and less than 5000 of
them were employed on the planta-
tions, and the balance were at large
competing with other mechanics. l
came here long ago as working
man, and rose from the lepo (ground)
to where [ am now. Did you ever
know me to hire Chinaman ? No.
Gentlemen, did you ever know of
country which became famous
through Chinese ? Kunuiakea:
What are the misfortunes of the
people now Thomas Ii you take
a little more whisky Applause.
Kunuiakea went on speaking in Ha-
waiian. Thomas Are you asking
more questions of me
S. X. PUA: This is perhaps my
last opportunity of addressing you,
the electors of my district. (Mr.
Pua then recited several Hawaiian
proverbs) A voice: you are very
stalel. God is on our side, the
side of Justice.
Mr.. MARQUES: We want a new
constitution, because the majority of
the people demand it. A certain
lawyer says you can't geta new con-
stitution. He puts me in mind of
the monkey which looked through
the wrong end of the telescope. This
lawyer looks at the constitution
from the wrong end. Another evil
we want to be remedIed is the taxa
ton system. which is very one-sided
and unequal; the poor are always
the sufferers.
II. w. Won Holt: Applausel. (Mr.
Won Holt spoke in Hawaiian). /
came here tonight to hatter you for
your votes. / made my way to this

patches. urge you to vote fol
good men to serve on the Road
Board, for if you do so you will have
better chances Of obtaining work on
the roads. The Tantalus road is
now in good condition, but the es
planade is neglected. That is very
disgraceful. [ always attend the
Liberal meetings, because their
meetings are always crowded.
@. W. ASHFORD: Applause. Aloha
oukou: During the early days Of
Christianity the Christians were per
secuted. The Liberal party, repre-
senting the Hawaiian people, is be
ing prosecuted in the same way. We
were to meet at the Reformatory
school tonight, but the Minister Of
Interior tabooed it to Us. We were
to meet at Mr.. Nawahi's place, buI
Mr.. Waterhouse hearing of it
threatened the keeper, who is work
ing under him, with discharge if he
allowed US to meet there. 1 want
the representative of the 2. @. AID
yERTIsER to note this fact, that it Is
another missionary oppression. Mr.
Won Holt found out one
truth when he said that i
he wanted to find crowC
he had got to attend the Liberia
meeting. The rich people at presen
have the advantage of the Govern
ment, and they do not want to ex
tend any advantage to the poor
therefore, they tell you to KEEP
quiet about the Constitution, and
say we are not making $1,000 a day
now. When you talk about the Con
stitution we can't make money. YOU
can see that their hearts are in theil
pockets. They don't care how mucl
you suffer. They say that amend
ment would be sufficient. Now, i
you add branch Of a breadfrui
to an olive tree you can't get bread
fruit. You must plant DREADFUL
tree. ApplauseI Our motto is
''Ua mau ka ca o ka alma ka pono.
That is lie. The life Of the Ian,
is established in injustice Americ
is the land Of the free and the hom
of the brave. When they boast o
their flag as the flag of the free, tia
is lie. Applause. The heart o
the native people, from Hawaii t,
Niihau, is beating for a new Consti
tuition. Mr.. Marques has explained
the inequalities of taxation. Las
June the Cabinet instructed the ia!
