Mr.. McCants Stewart made humor-
JUS speech, making excellent points OF
old stories. He welcomed the move

appreciation of his remarks by fire.

there was not deputation from tho
Chamber of Commerce to protest
against the number of lawyers. Mr..
Davis made plea for fair fighting in

interests of the Hawaiians. There is a
paper in this town that misleads tho
Hawaiians. 1t is the duty of all you
here to lead the Hawaiians right.
| Hon. A. n. KepOikai of Wailuku,
Maui, was "a Republican because that
party gave the Hawaiians manhood
suffrage. He was sorry to see so few
Hawaiians present, but glad to see re-
porters present who would inform his
| friends on Maui where he stood. Mr..
Kepoikai made an earnest plea for an
educational campaign among the Ha-
waiians, who were totally unacuuainteG
with the merits Of the American par
ties. He charged the Royalist Com
missioners with deceiving the Hawa-
iars on their return from Washington,
telling them annexation was dead and
the restoration of the monarchy in
evitable.
Hon. S. Parker, besides some hui

moved an amendment accordingly.
Mr.. Robertson supported the resolu-
| ton on the ground that 1t saved time.
He was followed on the same side by
Messrs. Humphreys, Ballou and Fisher.
Mr.. McCants Stewart presented the
