For two hours last night the
progressive element, headed by
Prince Jonah Kalanianaoie, denounced
in the most bitter terms contained I'm
he Hawaiian language Delegate Rob
ert wilcox and Senator Kalauokalani.
The president Of the Home Rule eSecu-
tive committee. The sPseshss against
these two leaders we're made By Ha-
waiians from all parts Of the Islands
md one and all dashed the two men
who had broken faith with them in
manner which ended all hope OF recon
ciliation.
Delegate Wilcox was in a room ad-
joining the meeting, his white travel
ing hat drawn down over his eyes, and
heard every word used against him.
For two hours he sat near window,
stroking his moustaehe and endeavor-
ing. to maintain composure. A few men
who had supported him through thick
and thin in the last campaign and were
sat near him. but their encouragement
was feeble. Outside in the street the
Delegates politician wife sat in ear
riage listening to what was said in
Foster Hail, and every now and then
her voice broke out stridently on the
night air. denouncing those who had
turned against the two dictators. she
called John Emmeiuth dirty stink
err to his face and accused him OF hav-
ing once tried to kill her Queen and
her husband. AT another time she
called the young Hawaiians in the hall
even worse names, Iashing herself to
a pitch of fury which highly amused
the loafers who were drawn out of
nearby saloon by her loud voice and
picturesque epithets.
Prince Cupid KaIapianaole received
the endorsement of the bolters, urging
him TO run in the race for the Delegate
ship and promising him their united
support at the next election. Praise
for the young Prince sounded on every
side and the progressive young men by
word OF mouth vouchsafed for him his
election 10 Congress IL he would but
give the word Tentatively, Prince GU
pid said ne had no desire 10 run for
Congress but he was willing TO do
country He wanted to see everything
done for the best and in the best way.
He announced in strong terms, amid
thunderous applause, that he could
never go back TO the Home Rule camp
under it's present leadership Of Wilcox
and Kalauokalani, and never would
try He said that he had lowered him
self once by going to Kalauokalani and
shaking his hand. thinking that there
by KaIauokalani would keep faith with
him KalauOkaIani had broken faith
and never more would he go back 10
affiliate with such a man. To 60 and
shake hands again with him and the
Delegate would be 20 lower himself in
his own estimation and that of his peo-
pie He would not be a dog.
Many impassiOned speeches were
made and the enthusiasm OF the young
men and many old men also, who came
over to Cupid's standard, was wrought
up 10 the highest pitch. Hardly for a
moment did the interest In the new
movement flag, and when the meeting
came to a close with the appointment
OF a committee OF seven whose cuties
are to study the entire political situa-
ton with reference 10 the Republican,
Democratic and Home Rule parties
and determine what constitution and
platform shall be adopted. a mighty
cheer arose. followed by shouts of
