ing to you
MR.. p. c. JONES.
Mr.. Jones said he had not prepared q
speech, being notified of his appoint
ment to address the meeting at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon.
We had come together for the express
purpose OF indorsing the new constitu-
ton and the PRONUNCIATION of President
Dole with it. There was really no ncces-
sity in calling a mass meeting to endorse
the constitution, as all did that anyway.
Loud applausel.
The men who went through the revo-
luton in January, 1893, had remained
firm and were still solidly together.
They were as compact, as true and as
determined tonight as at any period in
the past.
Nor can we forget the noble women of
Honolulu, who have, all along, encour-
aged their husbands, their sons and
their brothers to hold fast. | could give
many instances of nobleness and true
patriotism in our women that have come
out during the past eighteen months.
They were missionary" women, too.
We should not forget our friends
across the water in the homeland. The
words OF Hon. Cushman X. Davis of
Minnesota should be remembered.
Among other things he has said:
Though the Stars and Stripes have
been lowered in dishonor in Hawaii,
they will some day be raised over that
land in power" [Applausel.
On the 18th OF January, 1893,
an egg was laid. After time il
started to hatch, The Royalists then
| tried to push the chick back, and have
kept it up since-but it wont go back.
1t is born now and on July 4th it will
become a full-feathered foul. Great
applause.)
| After the 4th we want to send Mr.
Thurston back to Washington, and we
would like to send message to the
Government of the United States to be
sung to the tune of daisy Bell" as
follows:
sammy Sammy, give us your answer, do.
| We ere almost crazy 10 be annexed to you.
1t l0Hl be IA stylish marriage.
| We can afford a carriage;
| And Hawaii will look sweet in letters neat
| The reverse of "A. >. u"
MINISTER HATCH.
Mr.. Hatch was loudly called for and
took the stand. He said that the con-
stitution was one under which no mar
need be ashamed to live. 1t was not 8
constitution for one man or any par
ticular set or sets of men. 1t carried
with it the air of freedom. 1t is to b,
the fundamental law OF the land.
1t is also in close conformity with that
OF the United States. Only one change
the articles relating to the Executive
needs to be made to bring the two to-
gether.
The delay in forming a republic has
had its good effects. 1t has shown tC
the world that we are able to hold oul
own even amid past disadvantages. You
are right, gentlemen, because you art
marching with destiny. (Applause)
The eyes OF America are turned TOWARD
the North Pacific because there is also
destiny in that. There is destiny in the
political forces at work which cannot b,
stayed. We will be annexed to tn,
United States not as conquered peopl,
but as one ready and willing to accep
the inevitable. And that day is not ia
distant. prolonged Applause.)
J.M. WAS.
Mr.. J. NJ. Vivas, representing thu
, Portuguese Political Union, was mex
introduced. Mr.. Vivas said that sever
years ago he entered the Government
building with pick-axe, and right thel
ground was broken for the burial of tn
J monarchy. 1t took nearly seven year
to dig that grave, but now all thing
were ready and the corpse will be for
ever laid within the tomb on July 4th
Loud applausel.
. There are some objections to the con
stitution, but it was the best that coul
: be done at present. In convention som
OF us accepted it because we trusted tn
=, five men now at the head of the Govern
ment, and because it provides for tn
proclamation of President Dole.
He was one Of the first to "kick
against proclaiming the President; br
now he was perfectly satisfied. al

Some members were influenced
their ballots by the implicit trust r,
e posed in the integrity of Sanford
Dole.
Considering everything, nothing be
II ter could be done than exactly what "
are going to do tonight. [Great al
