should this Article pass, unless the
statement made regarding the motive
| Of those provisions were contradicted,
he Hawa..ans would have nothing to
do with this party. and he should be
the first to leave It, The Hawaiians
were weak people and bound to sue
cumb In time. but he would stand by
his people. II the expressed wish re-
ported as coming from one of the mis-
5ionary section were true, and II were
countenanced by this party, the result
| would be that the Hawaiians would
stand together and obtain Legisla-
ture of their own kind
j. A. Hughes seconded the motion,
| because the rules had not emanated
from this convention. They were the
work OF machine. Charges had been
made Which had never been refuted.
G. S. Smith denied that the commit

uttered the words attributed to him he
did not desire his acquaintance.

noon. He then repeated the assurance
that the committee had not been in

tue Congress of the United States had
given the Hawaiians manhood suffrage.
Unless the convention ceased this
wrangling the Hawaiians would form
independent Republican clubs OF their
own.
Mr.. White realised the point of order
that the motion before the house was
not uebatable.
Mr.. Humphreys moved, seconded by
Geo. w. Smith, that unanimous con-
