fond of luxuriant living, notorious
spendthrift, he has wasted large fortune
left him by his grandfather and uncle.
His word and his note are of little value
among the bankers and business men of
Honolulu. For years trying to play
politics and to be the Queens minister,
| for which service he is without capacity,
| he has competed with Wilson for the
control and the favors of the recent i'm
| moral occupant of the palace. He was
ready tool in the hands of Peterson
and Cornwell in the palace conspiracy
| which precipitated the fall Of the
monarchy. 1t seems impossi BILE that
Bloupt should not have learned Of the
real character of the four fallen minis
| ties, whose words he cites
| Of the DIR. G. Trousseau, who figures
conspicuously among Blount's affidavits,
white washing the notorious Wilson and
Liliuokalani, and abusively rejecting on
my official action, | need only say, that
| he is an adventurous Frenchman, with
whose printed record in Paris and moral
career in Honolulu, will not soil this
paper. OF ia. Cummins, it's correct
| to remark that what is herein said of
Samuel Parker, in most-respects applies

| property by his English father, he has
wasted it in extravaganza living and
shameful expenditures. For years Cum
minis has had two wives at the same time
! in his home. 1t is not strange that VT.
| Seward unites in testimony with Cum
minis, for Seward is a kind of house clerk
| and steward of Cummlns, occupying the
same home in which, it is well known
in Honolulu, there is a great deal of I'M
| lawful freedom of life.
Throughout his ponderous document
| Blount ignores that the. division between
| the Queen supportefsf IS not the ordi-
nary division of parties in most countries.
Lewiston between men of moral
character, property, and intelligence, and
those of the opposite characteristics. The
distinction is as broad as between the
notorious Boss Tweed and his supporters,
| and the best citizens of New York, who
overturned that powerful and corrupt
ring.
Regarding the Governor Cleghorn,
whose protest Blount speaks of relative
to landing the men of the Boston, little
need be said. Under the monarchy, prior
to the adoption OF zxthA constitution OF
Importance. The Office was abolished by
that constitution. The legislature of 1890
restored the office as an honorary title,
giving little power of duty. Cleghorn is
brother in-law to the fallen Liliuoka
lani, is the reputed father of the So
called princess now residing in England,
whose half-sister is married to the Eng
lish minister's son. Cleghorn is COM
pletely under the influence and follows
the advice of English Minister Wode-
house. His protest came to me after the
landing of the Boston's marines.
Hopkins belonged to the same gang as
Cornwell and Peterson. CornweIl had
been one of the intimate palace associ-
ates of Kalakaua in his bestial, lecherous
life and shameful transactions. He is of
VIGOROUSLY immoral habits. He has
been cheat on the race course, betting
against his own horses. He was one of
the most active in aiding Peterson and
forcing out the nes-Wilcoxssrrministry,
whom all the responsible men of the
islands wished to continue. He had been
repeatedly voted out of the ministry
after very brief stay, by large MAORI
ties, all the honest members voting
against him. Prior to Cornwell's two
explosions, Neumann had been voted out
August 20, 1892, by a vote of 81 to 10.
Reappointed by the Queen September 10,
he was voted out October II, by 81 to Is.
He was close confederate with Peter
son and Cornwall. He was known to be of
the contract labor ring which was bleed
ing the planters. With good reasons he
was believed to be the author of the
Queens revolutionary despotic constitu-
tition, Losing cast in California as q
political corruptionist, he had years be-
fore gone to Honolulu under the fatter-
ing auspices of Claus Spreckles. He had
PLAYED poker with Kalakaua to the de-
pletion Of the weak kings purse.
He is the man whom the Queen sent to
Washington to get her restored to the
throne, or to sell out her claims to the
crown in hard cash. He is the man by
whom Blount absurdly hints had sent
dispatches to Washington, on an errand
for which on no occasion had | ever
employed anyone. Blount asserts he re-
ceived this information from Spreckles
