mented the organization on Its faltn-
fulness and efficiency. 1t was COM
posed of citizens from all walks OF
life, and the harmony in its ranks
would contribute materially to the
work of securing that for which all
were eXerting themselves. The At
torney-General said every calling of
the country except undertaking
seemed to have a representative in the
company. He was promptly informed
that there was a gentleman of that
calling on the roster, and that he was
a good shot. Mr.. Smith said the fact
that q bloodleSs revolution had been
accomplished was complimentary in
the highest degree to the military
force of the country.
Minister Hatch remarked in open
ing that he had yet to hear of anyone
on the other side complaining about
the revolution being bloodless. He
believed the outlook for the cause of
annexation was brighter than ever.
In letter brought by the Yorktown
famous and influential public man
of the United Statas sent the message:
" Tell Dole to watt The Hawaiian
question had undoubtedly had great
force in determining the elections in
the United States. The Republicans
were with us and all the old Demo-
cratic leaders maintain that true De-
mocracy is for annexation.
There was cordial greeting for
President Dole when he rose to his
feet. He had always recognized the
company as very important branch
of the service, and was more than
pleased to thus meet its members. He,
TOOLS satisfied that the future is ripen-
ing for the men of Hawaii who are
for good government and close politi-
cal union with the United States.
When the President concluded, DIR.
Nichols proposed three cheers for the
"only man who ever knocked the
chip off of Uncle Sans shoulder with
out getting licked for it, The cheers
were given with a hearty goodwill.
President Dole was called upon again.
He was intensely earnest in brief
review of the trying events of last
December. All credit was given to
the citizen soldiery behind the Gov
movement from the Philadelphia was
inevitable, and council was held. 1t
had about been settled to make only
a passive resistance, to allow the
building to be fired upon, and then to
surrender. At this juncture, with the
danger imminent, the volunteers had
offered their services in defense of the
Government. There had been COM
junction about asking Americans to
fire upon the American flag. This
offer settled all that, and it was ar
ranged so give battle: The, President
hoped often to meet the brave men
who were willing to fight for their
rights.
Captain Kidwell, commanding the
Sharpshooters, was tOastmaster, and
amiably discharged the duty. He
thanked the President and other
guests. In speaking of the company,
Captain Kidwell said it was always
ready for business. He named man
to pit against Jos. Marsden for snOr-
ing. Captain Kidwell censured the
young ideas who were taken in to
learn to shoot and who Immediately
proceeded to best the veterans.
