ority ruling should not be regarded.
Action of the Reform party shows
simply this, that while they have the
right to put out they arrogate to
themselves right to dictate who
shall go in. Under the Consti-
tuition the Queen had the sole
right to appoint. This resolution
was brought on that point that the
appointing power must yield to die
tation or the party will fire out
every Cabinet that comes in. The
resolution gives no reason for the
dismissal of the Cabinet so there is
no room for argument.
Rep. Kapahu moved that the
Iesolution be laid on the table.
Did not consider that there would
be much gain in discussing the
resolution per Sc. 1t is waste
of time to discuss ancient his
tory, especially when very many
many are here present now who are
thoroughly acquainted with the
facts. He knew that in the time of
1887 the Reform party gave luaus,
killed pigs and supplied gin to Sc
cure votes and thus secure the
downfall of Mr. Gibson. That hap
pened in his district and such we're
the facts. There was nothing in the
Constitution which provided that a
Cabinet should be appointed from
the majority of an opposition. If
there was anything therein he would
support the resolution, but Article
Al, which applies to the appointing
of cabinet, says nothing of that
kind. He could not understand how
this resolution crept in, and the
easiest way to get rid of it was to
place it on the table, and he so
moved.
Rep. Wilder moved the ayes and
nays. Carried.
The motion, to table, was lost by
the following vote:
Ayes-Nobles Hopkins, Pua, Will
liams and Male; Reps. Pua, Koa-
hou, Kaunamano, Kapahu, Nahinu,
White, Kanealii and Edmonds.-12.
Noes-Nobles Ena, Cummins,
Hind, Hoapili, Marsden, Young,
Baldwin, w. Y. Horner, Walbridge,
Anderson, Thurston, &. n. Wilcox
and Kanoa; Reps. Wilder, Bipikane,
Ashford, Aki, Kauhi, r. w. Wilcox,
Bush, Kamauoha, Kaluna, Iosepa,
Akina, Smith and A. S. Wilcox.-26.
Rep. Ashford on the announce
ment of the vote, moved the previous
question.
Minister Nawahi said that the cul-
prits would be pleased to have OPP
portunity to speak.
Rep. Ashford said that although
not in favor of suppressing free
speech he would forego the pleasure
of hearing from the Minister. He
declined to withdraw his motion of
the previous question.
The question was put but failed
to carry and
Minister Nawahi said, that, a bare
indictment did not make man
guilty. In the resolution presented
, there were no reasons alleged The
introducer said that there were no
reasons necessary but he CThurston)
had occupied the floor for
three-quarters of an hour in endeav-
oring to present reasons. Now the
r supporters have just refused to give
, the. Cabinet an opportunity to, in
| anyway, defend themselves. No
, grounds being alleged therefor no
l reason existed for the adoption OF
> the resolution. He would say, that he
would ask the Hawaiians to give the
, Cabinet an opportunity to present a
i policy and prove by their works that
they would act entirely for the bene-
| fit of the people and the whole peo-
pie. How could he carry out the
3 wishes of the people if the oppor-
1 tunity was not given. He did not
t seek the Office which he now had
t While in it he would assure them
5 he would endeavor to act for their
4 interests and the good of the coun,
4 try. You have now native Hawai-
Y ian in the Cabinet and the oppor
tunity should be given to fulfill the
= desire often expressed by native Ha
t waiians that they had desired repre-
t sensations in the Cabinet. Give this
Cabinet chance, give us one day OF
{ one week and then vote us out. /
we go another may come, less salts
o factory. We were aware this morn
@ ing that resolution of want of con
fidence would be introduced, but |
" as native Hawaiian, did not turn
g back because | desired the oppor
r tunity to show that if allowed to con
y tinue in my Office | would fulfill pro
@ misses long since made with regard t,
@ working for the interests of tn,
country and the people. He would
t suggest that the caucus at which
this vote was made up did not ther
t know the composition of this Cabi
net. Again the Reform party il
: represented here.
n Rep. Ashford desired the speake
r to put the party labels on the mem
d bers of the Cabinet.
!. Minister Nawahi said that Min
lister Cornwell was a Reform man
a he was a Liberal. Previously, h,
r said, that in the names referred t,
n Her Majesty as choice for a Cabi

party was and always would be
