any trouble does occur you will
prove better men than ever. If
anything like that happens again,
don't take any prisoners. cloud
applause.)
Marshal Brown, being called
upon, said l am sensible of the
great honor, as / consider it, of
being promoted to the office of
Marshal. ! fully realize my lack
of ability to take the position or
to achieve such a record as the
retiring Marshal has done. 1t is
only from my appenticeship to
him that | am willing to accept
the position, In his absence
it shall be my effort to do that
duty which he has left to me.
The position of Marshal would be
an unenviabIe one we're it not for
the splendid backing the Marshal
gets from the Citizens Guard.
The military are all right in thei1
own way-they come and go at
the beat Of the drum-but L have
confidence in the Citizens Guard.
Captain McStocker's formation
of the companies is just right.
L am not so conceited as to sup
pose / can do everything. 1t is
only with the help of the Citizens
Guard that we can feel confident
of meeting any emergency. The
police and the Citizens Guard are
equal to the military. l do not
agree with my predecessor, for |
do believe in the military, but if
my choice was between the mill
ary and the Citizens Guard l
should take the Citizens Guard.
The military are paid for what
they do, but when it comes to de-
Tending the homes and families l
should prefer the Citizens Guard.
1 depend upon the Citizens
Guard and every man who has
the welfare of the country at heart
to support me. l am liable to
make mistakes, but when a mis-
take is made by a man, and it is
pointed out, he will seldom make
it again. l trust that with the
support of the Government and of
the Citizens Guard l can get
along. (Applause.)
Captain McStocker here called
for "Aye!" from every man who
was willing to give the new Mar
shal his support, and there was a
loud and unanimous response.
The Marshal was averse, the cap
tain went on to say, to giving so
many commissions, but he trusted
in us and his trust was not broken.
The Guard was at Moiliili, Maka-
puu Pass and all over the city.
We displayed our efficiency to his
judgment.
Ex-Marshal Hitchcock remark
ed: That night when the Attor-
ney- General came down he was
perfectly dazed. He was stopped
half dozen times himself and
there was not a damned Royalist
dared to show his head.
Upon motion three cheers we're
given in turn for the retiring
Marshal, the new Marshal and
the Deputy Marshal,
