The meeting was held in the dancing
hall Upon the entrance of Kalauoka-
lani, Wilcox and KauIia, the audience

After the first two leaders were
through with their harangues, Kaulia
Ispouted for some time on the restora-
ton Of the ex-Queen to the throne of
Hawaii. He said this could be accom-
plished By legislative action. He COM
pared himself to Blackstone in law,
and Gladstone in his championship of
al Ia he
people cheered when they were told
that restoration could be effected. Both
kalauokaIani and Wilcox in all their
previous speeches had stated that the
monarchy was dead and never could
be brought back. Kaulia, however, took
the contrary view and advocated the
belief OF its accomplishment The bal
ance of his remarkable utterances were
devoted to a general denunciation of
the missionaries likening them to
snakes. He also again spoke against
the payment of personal taxes.
He advocated the selection of himself
for the Senate in the coming session of
the legislature His fellow politicians
on the stand were also proposed. This
slate he thought was as good a one as
could be made up, and would be sure
Of election. He also urged the people
to select Curtis Iaukea and Frank Pa
hia for the Senate. The people would
all have an opportunity to vote at the
neXt election, and the five he proposed
for the Senate should be the ones they
should consider when they cast their
ballots. William Mossman spoke of his
love for the Hawaiian flag, and urged
them TO stand shoulder to shoulder. He
spoke of a slogan in the coming cleo
tions-"Hawaii for the Hawaiians"

vanced the names of w. c. Achi and ].

slate proposed at Laie.

The party arrived in Punaluu during
a big luau at which every second man
