eept through the majority. and that was
Republican, so everyone who loves the
Queen should join with him in that par
ty. He touched on the leper question,
saying that Wilcoxs statement that
physicians would soon find a cure was
misleading as other nations had found
that they could not discover any RENE
dy. The alleged love of country of VIII
cox was wonderful, but it meant moth
ing, for ne had been an annexationist
and the members of his party had con-
tinually misled the people, saying that
they had defeated that scheme, but it
came about just the same. He lauded
the entire ticket and appealed to the
people to vote as straight Republicans
SO that there would be a legislature
which would work for the benefit of all.
He was cheered to the echo when he
finished, and the opinion was general
that he has not made so good a speech
during the campaign.
Earlier in the evening George r. Car
ter told the Longshoremen that it was
not the desire of the business men to
hire Orientals on the wharves, but bust
ness had reached such d stage through
bad legislation that they had to watch
every penny of expense. He said with
a return of prosperity, by Republican
elections, there would be a condition
which would mean the old system D.
F. r. Isenberg spoke convincingly and
sang sweetly.
Senator Achi said the same thing to
the Poolas, and when one asked if the
Republicans would legislate against
Oriental labor on the docks, he answer
ed that this was impossible, because
of treaties, but he knew that with pros
perity the Republican employers would
call again for the Hawaiians at big
wages.
L. L. McCandless talked of the
depression, saying that at the Homo
lulu Iron Works thirty per cent. of the
workmen>had been discharged. He COM
pared the tickets and showed that the
Hawaiians would not act against the
interests of their people.
Henry Vida, Judge. Kaulukou and
others spoke and were we'll received,
the meeting lasting till near midnight.
REPUBLICANS ON SOUTH STREET.
Prince Kuhio made a rousing speech
| last night in the open lot corner of
| South and Queen streets in which ne
| held Wilcox up in light which caused
| the large audience to laugh in Gcrision
of the Home Rule leader. The meeting
was opened by Robert N. Boyd, who
spoke in glowing terms of the Republi-
can party, it's power as the controlling
party in the United States, and the
party which the Hawaiians should pin
their faith to. He was followed by j.
Keohokii, who presided at the meeting.
introducing the speakers.
Prince Kuhio appeared upon the plat
form amid cheers and applause. He
said the Home Rulers were telling the
Hawaiians that he was double faced,
but he denied the allegation and proved
to the contrary that Wilcox was the
double-faced enemy of the Hawaiian
race. He left the Home Rule party
because Wilcox and Kalauokalani
wanted to rule it with himself as the
third member of the leaders He be-
lieved that the party should be governed
by the people. The Home Rulers were
saying that the Republican party was
governed by Geo. r. Carter. 1t was
not true.
They are saying that I am bought
by the missionaries, as they speak of
H. P Baldwin and Others" said he.
ut is not true. Nobody can buy me,
because first of all have enough for
myself. and L will give my vote without
any money consideration, for the bene-
fit of all. (Applause.) l have love in
my heart for my old flag, my country.
for my people and for the Queen. Cap
plause) Our land was taken without
our consent. Who helped to give our
land away? Wilcox. (Applause) In
1898 at the Drill shed he signed his name
to the annexation roll and was elected
vice president of the association. Where
is Wilcox's love for you? He has none.
They are telling you l am snake be-
cause l am on the Republican ticket,
but l know that it is the only party that
will bring benefit to the country at
large. Wilcox himself admits it be-
cause when he went to Congress he
discovered it. He came back after the
| first session and said we cannot get
anything unless we are Republicans
and they added the tail Republican to
| Home Rule When he returned to Con-
gress e told a falsehood because he
said all here were Republicans He
| talks about love for the Hawaiians. In
his recommendations for officers he did
not recommend a Hawaiian. but al
. White men, even Gear who fought him
| before Congress.
| Wilcox utters falsehood when he
says he obtained the elective franchise
| for the Hawaiians. It is not true be-
cause it is the custom of the United
| States to give to all Americans the
| franchise 1t is only to catch votes
We are all Americans and entitled to
vote as the Constitution says positive
| ly. When he returned the second time
| Wilcox told the Home Rulers to throw
off the tail Republican. Who is dou-
BILE faced, he or /? IA voice in the
crowd, "Wilfkokf!") Wilcox cannot ac-
complish anything for US at all in
| Washington. He insults not only the
| white people here. but the white people
| on the mainland, our friends in Con-
gress, when he calls them cockroaches
and monkeys. Can he expect to obtain
benefits from them by saying these
things?''
He then talked of the Wilcox lepeT
| bill He said that if benefits were to
| be obtained for the lepers let there he
| a good legislature elected and they
| would be looked after. He said he too
