George Markham was the first speak
er, and said, The time has come when
we ought u consider our condition. Let
us look back to the occurrences of the
past and make that our object lesson.
We are now part of the great United
States, whose inhabitants numDCr
about $1,000, 900. The annexation was
accomplished against the dictation of
our conscience. Frear, Dole, Hit and
Cullom were the commissioners who
formulated our laws. Now, HaWaiians
that power which you possess-the bal
lOt-places you on an equal fcotin"
with the riCl, even with President Nc
Kinley. Let us formulate laws of
equality for all, the planters, bankers
and laborers. We must accomplish
something which will make us advance
and progress. Only few days more,
then Hawaiia.ns will have to show tfe.r
unity. Tn. Home Rule party is a
party which was organized here
and we will all die here. The
two great parties Of the United States
have been Introduced into the country
They have introduced these parties
thinking that we would ally ourselves
with one of them. But such is not the
case. We have organized this pan ty
and we will stand by II and work for
the interests of the peop'e at large
We are working on principle and we
will not take any money to throw
away tina. principle. The money OF
Bishops bank cannot buy us OUT.
Some time ago the Republican party
wanted tho Democrats to join with
them, but the Democrats refused. Let
me tell you the leader of the one is
Thurston, and the leader of the other
is Kinney. We may soon lay ourselves
down to rest so meanwhile let us clear
the way for our children. We have a
section in our platform which provinces
that there must be eight hours work,
only, a day for the laborers. | intro

know that | am laborer myself. We
will object to the AsiatiCs holding
Government jobs unless they are Am.
ercan citizens. Before closing | watt

YOU OF your suffrage. Now Is the time
for us to think over this matter &C.
riousy. Let us send Wilcox to Con
gress and vote the Home Rule ticket
WILCOX TALKS.
Wilcox made much his usual speech
saying: The political issues OF this
Territory are not like those in the
United States. After the election
friends shake each other by the hand
heartily, despite their allegiance TO any
particular party. Here it is not so
There seem to be jealousies and preju-
liccs against WilcoN. TIL ase peep = IRE
