On suspension of the rules, at 1:41
p. NJ, Rep. Bush presented the fol-
lowing resolution of want of conf
dence:
l Whereas, the present Cabinet has
Nailed to fulfil the expectation of the
country in their financial policy and sys-
tenn of economy, and have done nothing
to alleviate the present financial distress |;
and
Whereas, the said Cabinet have
shown total want of capacity to lead
the Legislature in matters Of great mo-
ment or otherwise; and
Whereas, the said Cabinet does not
represent the sentiment ind wishes of
the people at large; therefore
Be it Resolved, That this Legislature
has no confidence in the present Cabinet.
He had been induced to bring in
this resolution at the request of ma
jority of the members of this House.
During the existence of past Cabinets
he was in coalition with the then OPP
position, but as the principle which
they then fought for was not carried
out, he would now oppose the Cabinet.
While he always regretted frequent
changes of Cabinets, yet ne was work.

constituents.
At 1:55 PM. there was no quorum,
but Rep. Bush continued to speak, ex-

for.
AT 2 O'clock the President stated

AT 2:20 there was again no quorum.

was the only way quorum could be
got. Carried.
Noble ,Kauhane said it was alleged
that the Cabinet had not fulfilled the
expectations of the country. That
meant the Constitutional Convention
bill. But that bill was defeated by
the Legislature, and would have been
without the votes of the Cabinet. The
Cabinet had shown a disposition to

not do everything at one stroke. He
did not care who was in the Cabinet
as long as they worked honestly for
the good of the country. Moreover,
the Cabinet consisted of Kamaainas.
This Cabinet possessed the confidence
of the business community. He
doubted whether Cabinet composed
of natives would. Men in the Cabinet
should be men who have made sue

who have covered themselves up with

everything they ever attempted.
Rep. Bipikane said he had not been
