was thronged in every part, the stairs
and entrance being crowded, and
many had to go away. Several
through passengers by the Gaelic
were among the curious spectators
Several hundred Hawaiians were
present.
President j. Z. BUSH introduced
JnO. Ross and Hon. L. w. 2. Kane
ALI who were among the first speak
ers. The latter wished to see Lib
eral candidate President of the next
Legislature.
JAS. NATION spoke about the re-
suit of the election at his district at
Hilo. He intended to contest the
election, and he believed that he
would win the day. He urged his
hearers to educate their children and
they would undoubtedly reap the re-
suits of their labors.
$. G. DWIGHT thanked the audi
ence for uniting their efforts in cast
ing their ballots for his colleagues
and himself, and he would wear that
honor throughout his life.
Hon. w. WHITE, who was received
with applause said, he commended
the Hawaiian voters present for cast
ing their votes for the strongest can
ditates of the Liberal party. He
knew of bribery, but the natives had
shown their manhood by voting
for the candidates they wanted
irrespective of outside influences. He
was sorry their Noble candidates were
not successful, but that was owing to
their poverty; yet, Notwithstanding
that, he believed that the Liberal
party could depend on twenty-seven
members Capplausel in the next
Legislature. They could not be over
awed by the Reform party again, for
that party was almost defunct John
w. KaIua was we'll known as "the
fire of Waikiki and the dam of IaO,n
yet he could not dam up the Lahaina
wal [Applausel. At the coming
Legislature the speaker would take
he same stand as at the last. He had
defeated Kalua mainly on the PuulOa
question. Kamehameha the Great
uted the Hawaiian group, and he
q said that no one should dare part
with one inch of its soil. 1t was utter
eolIy for the sons of Hawaii to disre-
ard the dying request of their heroic
r. ing.
= S. K. AK thanked the people for
voting for him, and retired in favor of
the other speakers.
A. FERNANDEZ cOunselled the
voters of Honolulu not to heed street
talk. Several applications had been
received for the position of Road
Supervisor, but they would give the
place to a Hawaiian. The Queen had
expressed her great satisfaction at
their election.
Hon. s. K. PUA said the people
should constantly remind the Repre-
sentatives of their duty, to promote
the public welfare.
Hon. J. W. BIPTKANE applause
and imitation of lowing of CATTLE: [
am really frightened at the sight of
this immense audience. / shall stand
by you till the grave. We have
leaders in our parties, and we, the
lesser stars, will adopt their teachings.
Above all I shall use my best en-
deavOrs TO promote the welfare of my
people. / don't care for the $3.50.
can throw that to the winds. 1t is
said that [ do not understand law;
but never mind that, my love for my
country will last till time shall be no
more.
G. B. MALE: Although defeated
the MALE whitening, | shall never
forget the 598 noble voters who voted
for me. I hope the next trial viii
place me in that much desired seat
when the MALE will blossom again.
Hon. r. w. WILCOX: The district
where I worked hard was quite {
strange place to me, but still / fOUnC
the people very hospitable. KAPPA
lama is ever my district. If I were Il
visit Hawaii and leave my hat a
Palama, the Hawaiians would no
hesitate to cast their ballots for my
hat ApplauseI and / should b,
elected surely. At Waialua I tOld thu
people that if they cared for whisky
the devil, and everything bad, they
would vote for Cecil Brown. Th'
lunas of my opponent had used IiquO
very freely-nearly one Thousand
dollars being spent for rum. POrtu
guese, who lived entirely on minal
birds, voted for Brown. They wer
poor and miserable now. Pikai

that plantation labOrers at Waialu
