The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-08-16

political parties OF the continent, were
facing a serious condition rather than
a theory eight years ago. when free
silver was rankly pervad!ng the coun-
try, when the Republican party was in
danger of being kicked to death by
jackass, the people OF the East turned
down several excellent party men.
They refused to take New York with
all its prestige they refused to take
Wisconsin. They took a man from
Ohio who had achieved success in busl-
ness rather than a man who had
achieved success in politics. Their
choice was Marcus A. Hanna. a man
who had never dabbled in politics, but
who had made his own business a sue
cess. In seconding the nomination of
+. Faxon Bishop feel myself as high
ly honored as Mr.. Boyd could have felt
in nominating Mr.. Andrews. He Is a
young man who has been pre-eminent-
ly successful in his business. Although
he did not come from under the soil, -
as George Beckley would say. he raised
himself from the foot of the ladder
upon Hawaiian soil. There are no gray
hairs on top of his head, but he has
gray inside of his head. He may not
have been an adept in the chicanery
of politics, but we may look upon him
and say. Behold the man" The trou-
BILE we have had in this country is that
we have had too many politicians and
too few statesmen. When we say
"Ecce homo" we should not point to
the ward politician. AS Mr.. Smith has
said. this Is not a personal issue. /
am free to say If 1t were a personal
issue It would have afforded me as
nominate Mr.. Andrews. This country
has been called an oligarchy since !
first knew anything about the islands.
With at least a part Of the Constitu-
tion in force we do not want any more
oligarchy. | do not want man as
head of this committee who, sitting in
his office. dictates the laws to the rep
resentatives we elect and afterward
have the constituting of those laws. The
fact that Mr.. Bishop has not been
politician in New York is in his favor.
We do not want any Tammanies here
II it were not for the rule that limits
me to five minutes, / might inflict on
you what Jack Lucas calls hot air |
We do not want bicycle pumps, how
ever. but good hard tires that will
stand the rough roads. (Applause)
