the TWO governments have fully "ne-

influences of that great republic which

That the good people of the United

and not to allow its fair fame to be
sullied by acts unworthy of the cause
in which it was raised. (Cheers, and
applause). We believe that the pres

elements of this country. Let us so
show it to the world. Great APP

that no opportunity should be lost to
reiterate the announcement that we
have no quarrel with the Hawaiian
people, our quarrel is with Hawaiian
monarchy. In this connection l will
introduce Chief Justice Judd.
