at the Robinson Home.

Nearly 1000 of Honolulu's population,
mostly Hawaiians, were entertained last
night at the Republican 1uau given by
Mark Robinson. The affair was one
of the largest ever given here, and was
a pronounced success from start to fin
ism.
Robt. Boyd was master of ceremonies
and after everybody had eaten all they
wanted at four long tables, twice filled,
he introduced Mark P. Robinson, who
made speech telling the natives the
opportunities to be secured by the cleo
Rawlins followed and made charac-

lengthy. He said he spent the morning
of his life in Hawaii and was now

Frank Archer spoke on the tax col
lector business and told of the promises
Iaukea was making, saying it was alb
solutely impossible for Iaukea or any
other man, no matter what party he
belonged to, to carry them out
j. w. Pratt followed saying the Re
publican party had given the Hawai-
ians more rights than they ever before
possessed and hoped they would keep
the party in power. Capt. Nahora Hipa
of Co. E interpreted for Mr.. Pratt, and
added many humorous sayings which
tickled the audience.
S. E. Damon spoke next. The Re-
publican party, he said, had nominated
a ticket they need not be ashamed of,
while on the other hand. the Home Rule
party were trying their best to get the
men they did nominate off their ticket,
being perfectly willing to swap horses
in the middle of the stream.
Joe Gilman followed saying that the
Republican party on the mainland rep
resented all the business interests and
that such methods could be applied to
the local party. The party of the MAIN
land had gained strength by voting the
straight ticket. This example should be
applied here with prosperity and plenty
to follow with good employment for ev-
erybody. Most people had but a faint
idea of the great aid the Territory
would secure by sending news of VIC
tory to the mainland.
George Renton said in part: ST have
the honor to address you this evening
as candidate for Supervisor at large.
