the mass meeting held at the New
Armory on Beretania street last
evening. The meeting was enthu-
siastic, and the different speakers
were received with cheers.
Hon. Jos. Nawahi was called to
the chair, while Mr.. Antoine Rosa
was chosen interpreter. Mr.. J. K.
Prendergast was secretary. Those
who had charge of getting up the
meeting evidently did not want
the meeting reported, as there was
no accommodation at all for re-
porters.
Hon. l.. w. p. Kanealii, on being
called to address the assembly, pro-
posed rousing cheer for their candi-
dates-Messrs. Male and Hopkins.
After giving some instructions about
the manner of voting, he entertained
his hearers with a talk on the new
constitutions constitution so abhOr-
rent to the minds of native Hawaii
ans. The speaker declared that he
was opposed body and soul to anneXa-
ton, as he would not like to see a
foreign government ruling and die
tating the affairs of the Hawaiian
Government. In his capacity as a
legislator, he had been frequently ap-
preached by those working up the
annexation doctrine; but as a true and
loyal Hawaiian, he had Stunned such
men. He would fight manfully
against annexation until death.
AS Hon. A. p. Peterson was not
present, Hon. VIM. White was called
upon to address the audience. He
said that he had the honor to tell
them the way to obtain salvation for
Hawaii nei. AS he had prophesied be-
fore that the Reform party would be a
defunct party, therefore, a new party
was necessary to rise up and bury the
Reform party in the depths of the
ocean. 1t had been often stated in
the papers and elsewhere that the
speaker was advancing means that
destruction. He held that he was
holding i'm his right hand emblems
of victory for Male and Hopkins.
He assured the audience that their
candidates, Hopkins and Male, could
never be anneXationists, because they
were true Hawaiians and loved the
flag waving majestically over the
peaceful soil of Hawaii. Mr.. White
stated that he had a pet scheme that
he would like to pass in this session
of the Legislature, and that was. the
Lottery bill-a bill which would fill
the Hawaiian Treasury with 100000
annually. This bill had been con-
demned, but the bill still lived. The
bill and its introducer, Hon. Mr.. White
of Lahaina, still lives. Since the in
PRODUCTION of the Gospel to these
shores, his gospel could never be
beaten. 1t was the only salvation of
these islands. 1t had been stated that
he had been paid $4,000 to work
through the Lottery bill. If God him
self were to come down among us He
would tell you that Mr.. White had
not received a cent. Laughter. l
Lotteries came from civilized coun-
tries, and this came from Louisiana
one of the States of the American
Union.
Acknowledgement Neumann spoke
substantially as follows: Fellow citi.
zens-I do not think it proper fol
men in Office to speak in public, but
think that there is little difference
between officers on salary and Min.
lister ON trial. Now, L am going tt
take you into my confidence tonight
Now, there is a precedent for my
speaking here tonight, although
am Minister now. In 1890 Mr.
Thurston addressed a meeting. 1 de
not know what my distinguished pre-
decessor said at that meeting as it wa!
my misfortune to be away from th,
nfpxy OF he Nm II
out something he said. He told tn,
people what they intended to do. Blu
now new Cabinet has been sworl
in. When the Reform party went on
of office, the Withdrawals from tn,
Postal Savings Bank were such tina
it left load on their successors t
cover up the deficit. II is very ia
from me to accuse Mr.. Thurstol
of ever taking one cent Q
that money. Where did it go
Not one cent of it went into tn
waterworks, not one cent went to i'm
proving the harbor, and not one cen
went into any place where the peopl
could point out where that none,
went to. No one knows where il wen
to. When this cabinet went in Their
was load on its back, and everyon
with sane mind doubted whether tn
present cabinet should go in Will
those burdens left them by the Reform
party were staring them in the face
These last days in the Legislature
that party wanted to GUST this cabi
net, but they could not muster up tn
constitutional majority. While 1 wa
away on Maui, L understand Their
was a meeting here to a small house
Thurston, Smith and others addresse
about thirty persons. Smith said
among other things, that he knew tn
government couldn't pay the salar
of its officers. Citizens, the govern
ment has been paying the salaries {
its officers and the deficit of the Posts
Savings Bank which the Reform
party helped to squander. These hav
been paid with money loaned b
friends of this administration, an
the Reform party are wondering VIII
money was loaned us, yet those VIII
loaned us were prosperous merchant:
good church people, ETC., who hay
confidence in this Cabinet. There ha
been different political parties in thi
town. The Reform party once game
everything from Hawaii to Niihau
but when their measures failed the
left heavy burden on their succe:
sors, and he did not believe that an
Cabinet could do better than til
present one. All know that the grea
Reform party had melted down0th
party no longer existed. Since hi
election he had been trying to do wins
was right but had no sooner accepte
CABINET position than he becam
