brought in the resolution to have the
constitution promulgated on the Fourth
of July. Now my hands are clean and |
go before the people feeling that have
acted properly.
This constitution will go down into
history, and to those who many come
after us. as the birth OF a new country.
| will stand before all true Hawalians
feeling that / have done my duty to
them and to the country.
Here comes in the great diiliculty-a
difficulty | regret more than all else.
The majority OF my own people do not
understand the benefits to come to them
and to the country under the new order
of things.
But | am not responsible for their
want of comprehension. They will
have to stand it until they can come to
see matters in their true light.
The great misfortune is that few
people are misleading them. Who is
doing thisp Ii is the class we call roy
alists that is doing it. They are leading
the natives around by the nose to graft
ify their own selfish ends. declare
here tonight that the responsibility
must rest upon the heads OF few who
are misleading my people.
| stand for myself and for the part of
my race who do comprehend the situa-
ton as it is in this country.
The constitution is not for one class,
family or individual, but is for all alike.
The work is about finished. On the
4tb of July it will be promulgated.
The register will then be open, and
trust each member OF the meeting will
go up and take the oath on that day.
There must be some differences OF
opinion regarding the constitution. But
this is not time for differences. Let
us come and work together. After Il
while the time to vote will come, and
again we will need to stand firm. Only
be steadfast and the time will come
when we may join hands with the great
republic across the sea, and receive all
the benefits for which we have been
working. Great applause.)
