The Democratic mass meeting at the

cessful campaign gathering. The thea
ter was filled. A band in the back of

j. Mccarthy was chairman and called
the meeting to order With him on the
stage were ]. o. Carter, H. j. Moss
man, Frank Harvey, Abraham Fernan-
dez, c. w. Booth, John d. Holt, Jr., f.

and was frequently applauded.
Abraham Fernandez was the next
speaker. He spoke in native and was
frequently applauded.
]. o. Carter said: II come before you
this evening to speak a word of sober
ness; l believe of truth. The conditions
in the days of Kalakaua and now are
different. Today our flag has passed.
am free to say, l am sorry for what has
passed but as a good citizen will make
the best of conditions. There are some
among HawaiianS who have advised
Hawaiians to stand apart | can not adj
wise this. Whites and Hawaiians live
here together and we are In duty bound
to make the best of it. There are some

nomination of the Democrats l had
gone back on the natives. 1 beg you
not to believe that. l was with you as
a boy, a young man and since, and my
feeling for you.is as loyal as ever l
say to you that we are bound to do
that that is best for natives and haoles.
1 am a Democrat because of my read
ing, because of my reasoning, because
the administration of Grover Cleveland
I a l. g.. lou not
ians to decide where you will go. AS
for me, 1 go with the Democrats. If
you go with me 1 shall be very glad.
The Democrats have shown that they
have no feeling against you by placing
at the head of their ticket Prince David.
l am glad to run on that ticket Let
everyone circulate and support that
ticket.
while I stand with the Democrats,
wish to say that l am not one whit
less loyal to the Independents"
Mr.. Carter was frequently and loudly
applauded
S. w. Spencer spoke in Hawaiian. He
is a candidate for the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Major ]. NJ. Camara said he was en-
tirely in favor of the platform of the
Democratic party.
II
sentative from the Fifth district was
the next speaker. His address was also
in Hawaiian.
f. C. Macfarlane did not see that
we should bother about national af-
fairs; we had ample local affairs, of
such import as to tax the utmost abili-
ties of our best men. The Hawaiian
will become an important factor in po-
litics, and it will require no prophetic
eye to see them ranged in the Democra-
tic party, for it is not to be supposed
that they will align themselves with
the party that has robbed them of their
independence. The die is now cast,
however, and / do not wish to reopen
the wounds of those unhappy days In
future the Hawaiian must be recognize
ed, and it is not to be supposed that
they will ally themselves with their
natural political enemy. l opposed an
neXation because 1 thought it would be
detrimental to the Hawaians and the
commercial interests as well. Annexa-
ton was perhaps the worst thing that
could have happened. The policy of i'm
perialism of the Republican party can
but result in disaster to Hawaii. This
policy means the annexation of Cuba
and Philippines, and that means the
death blow to this country. The sugar
policy of the Republican party threat
ems to eXtinguish the industries of these
islands,
From this point the speaker spoke of
the platform in very complimentary
terms and as religiously abused the
Republican platform.
c. ]. Hutchins was the next speaker.
He took up national questions, speak
ing of imperialism, of 16 to l and of
other matters.
E. B. McClanahan closed the evening
with an earnest appeal for support to
the Democratic ticket and platform.
He dealt with national questions, dwell
ing particularly upon that of imperial
ism.

tributed to those desiring them
