BRAVES ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
John Bush, E. B. McClanahan and
Others all Talked at
Length.

Democrats held a meeting at the Or
pheum last night. A fair-sized but enthu-
siastic crowd listened to the speakers. On
the platform were Thos. Clark, John
Richardson, j. II. Wise, Z. X. Lilikalani,
Frank Harvey, John Bush, II. j. Moss
man, E. 3. McClanahan. Abraham Fer
nandez T. B. Lyons, Jno. Napainui, r.
W. Holt, Napainaki.
Thomas Clark, of Maui, the first orator,
said: II have been an Aloha Alma for sew
en- years and l am still an Aloha Alma. To-
day there are three parties in the country
the Republicans, robbers of the country;
the Democrats, Aloha Alma; and the In
dependent party. Wilcox claims today
that he secured for us our franchise l
tell you it was Maui that brought about
such favorable issue. In '9S Wilcox, ka-
lauokalani and j. X. Kaulia claimed that
thew could restore the Queen. AT the
same time Maui warned them that such
an issue could not be considered by the
United States Congress al that time.
However, they tried in vain. Today Will
cox is trying to have US join the lnde-
pendent party.
I'VE have received our franchise from
the Democrats, and today the rich and
the poor have an equal ballot. Now snail
we be led into a miry pit by WILCOX! JOIN
the Democratic party, which has always
been friend to the Hawaiians me
Democrats gave us our francnlSe, out the
Republicans claim they did it. If so, why
did they not give it to us in '9S? The Re
publicans wanted laws which would have
limited your franchise, but the Democrats
denounced them. When Wilcox was away
in the United States before he reached
Washington, he sent me letter ASKING
me to prepare a petition against anhexa-
ton When he reached Washington ne
wrote again and told me that it would be
impossible to carry out such proposi-
ton. In '9S Maui emphatically told him
that such an issue was perfectly impos-
sible / warn you all il you wish TO re-
gain your independence and your flag,
vote for the Democrats, for there Is no
other means of recovering your in1epend-
ence and flag. Stand shoulder to Shout
der to support the Democratic party,
which has been always friendly to us.
To-day Prince David has enslaved HIM
self to work for the sake of the people
who still! love their country and dag. Send
Prince David who bears a pri1cely title
that America may know that you still
love your country. But if We want to
send a man to display his military tactics,
then send Wilcox.
eff you think that We have more bene-
fits now under the American flag, re-
main so. But if you are not satisfied, then
make your petition to the United States
Supreme Court for the restoration OF the
monarchy, and in order to secure our Ha-
waiian flag, bear with the Democratic
party"
JOHN WISE EMPHATIC.
J. H. Wise said, II can not say that l
was born a Democrat and will die Dem
/ consider no tic nartV
the party that will be beneficial to us. but
il we do not derive benefits from it, l
would take off my Democratic coat. What
benefits can we derive from the Repubi-
can party? They say that they would
grant us rights. That is not so; it is a
lie. Is the prices of your meat and other
necessities reduced today? They say if
the Democrats get in, the sugar industry
will surely go down. 1t is coming down
today on account of Porto Rico and Gu
ba. Now they want the Porto Ricans and
the blacks TO come here, that they may
have cheap labor. What benefits do we
get from It? You may ask what benefits
would derive from the Democratic party
First, We would get cheap materials by
free tariff, such shoes, clothes and so
forth. Second, If Bryan is elected Porto
Rico and Cuba will recover their independ-
ence, and these people can not get the
Porto Ricans or negro laborers, and as
d ItSull you VIII De retained. IOQdy the
Independents have taken man into their
party who at one time was dead against
the Hawaians. Who are there in the Re-
publican party? The same men who sup
ported that long-bearded man and his sec
rotary. Who are on the Independent
ticket? Robert Boyd, a man who signed
the annexation roll. George Markham.
who went out on the Eleu and fred at the
natives at Diamond Head You NAV not
know me. l tell you l was one of those
men who were marched on the streets by
the missionaries. i am going to fight
against the enemy, the Republicans who
say today that they love our country.
Now they say they will appropriate mon
ey for the Queen Why dld thew NOT do
II before? Today they are giving YOU
work on the roads only to catch your vote.
You viii suffer the consequence if YOU
should vote for the Republicans"
Here the speaker challenged any Repub-
llcan in the house to show him how Ha
waiians could be benefited by the Repub-
lican party.
Samuel Parker was the Minister at the
.lhe OF the overthrow and it was through
MIN that We lost our independence Tbev
say Prince David is too young. but let that
be disregarded. N-''
Ihey rebuke us for using the roval ka-
hihs. The Queen gave US her consent and
should We not use it? Now she is SIM.
He DeInOcratlc party, then WHY
not that party?''
