Evening Session.


of confidence resolution at Z 30 p. m.
sharp. The interior of the House was
filled to suflocation almost, but many
representatives of the fair sex gave a
relief to the heavy air which sur
rounded the general multitude.
Rep. Waipuilani said that Rep.
Wilder had stated that the support
ers of the Lottery scheme were sup
portcrs OF the Cabinet. He was sat
isiied that could not he so as he sup
ported the Cabinet but did not sup
port the Lottery.
Rep, Wilder-You don't Well, l
am glad to hear that.
Rep. Waipuilani Continuing, said
that in the resolution forwarded from
the caucus there was no right re-
| served that the members of that eau
Gus should form that Cabinet or that
they could discharge the new Cabinet
on appointment. I he Queen had
complied by the appointment of
Messrs Peterson and Macfarlane. The
letter sent to Her Majesty was not
from the House but from the mem
be~s in their private capacity as citi-
zens in caucus. That was the reason
that audience was refused to Rep.
Bush he would not have been refused
as a member of the House.
Noble Peterson said just before
recess the House had heard an hours
Grafton on representative govern
ment. 1t was grand Grafton, full
of glittering generalities. 1t told
enough to fill a constitution, but
contained very little on the matter
before us to-day. The hon. gentle
man said they had taken stand for
representative government, and they
intended to follow it to the end. In
1890, when the Reform party was
put out, did it insist on the King
sending for leader of the National
Reform party? That was the time
) when they should have taken this
stand. The hon. Noble had great
deal to say about the rule of the
majority, etc. Majority of what
OF the people. The most he hat
heard of that was from three Mobiles
; One of them went to Hawaii to b.
/ elected by his own plantation. An
other bethought himself of his owl
, homestead and remembering hi
r early piety and goodness, though
they would give him chance. An
other went to Maui because h,
, wanted to be-elected as he said, ant
was not running for fun. What die
Y the speech amount to? The onl.
f thing in it is the complaint that TIVE
: of the old Cabinet had come back
and the Premier had not consulte,
q his colleagues in the House. Th
q speaker then read the resolution
: presented to Her Majesty. He haC
q been called in accordance with tha
n resolution to form Cabinet. Th
objection had been made that h
was not leading member of tn,
opposition. One Noble had said
Who's Peterson? Who'd think o
. calling him? The man was probabl,
e so filled with consciousness of hi
% own Importance that the rest of tn
. world looked like pigmies to hin
. He had been asked if he would cor

, and he had said he would do 81
