COL. MCCARTHY TALKS.
Col. c. J. Mccarthy. the next speak
er. was greeted with applause. He
plunged boldly into his subject and
aroused considerable enthusiasm. He
spoke in part as follows:
1--WE are here tonight as a precinct
club to ratify the nominations made
in our convention in ST. Louis on Sat
urday last 1t gives me great pleasure
to know that the Democrats have
nominated that great Democrat, Judge
Alton Brooks Parker of New York.
(applause).4ss Parker is a man that is
made from that kind of timber which
Presidents come from. (applause). I
know that the votes of the people will
put him in the White House, fit sue
cessor to that great Democrat, ex-
President Cleveland.
HE win show that as a farmer,
which he has been, he will weed
out the Republican fields and clear
them of such rank growths as the
Postoffice Department, which has
caused such a scandal.
"It has been said that Parker is
trust man, but while sitting on the bench
of the State of New York, when that
question came up he decided that ag-
gregations of capital, whether reasonable
or unreasonable that had the power to
crush the people, We're unlawful On
the question of the tariff he has also
put himself on record. and that is
against the Government Ievying taxes
to pay expenses above those legitim-
ately incurred. Parker will be our
next President and don't you forget it,
(applause).
HARRY SWINTON.
Harry B. Swinton made a funny
speech. first in English, and then in
Hawaiian. Some of his humor, and his
reasons for being a Democrat were as
follows:
I'VE are here as a gentle reminder
that the Democratic party is not dead
but very much alive, and here to stay.
1t is pretty near time we endorse this
great. good American. Judge Parker.
II is about time somebody else had
the management Of this Territory.
What Patrick Henry said long ago
is what concerns us. Look about you.
Have you ever seen such conditions as
we have now? Somebody else should
be at the hellum.
I'm November, remember that the
Republican party will be showed un-
der so deep that they won't hear Cab
rieIs trumpet. Parker will be elected
just as sure as He'll is mousse trap.
That is a prophecy. You win see the
Republicans with long faces and dis
appointment sticking out on their
faces like quiIls on a Porcupine.

"I have always been a Democrat,
except for few months when was a
Republican pro tenn. I thought then
my party was a defunct party, but it
has come to life again and so I'm back.
When you ask me why I'm a Democrat
I ask you to look back eleven years
and then you will see why all Hawai-
ians should be Democrats. My fellow
Hawaians don't understand about the
loss Of their country. If the monarchy
is not in existence, it was not the Dem
ocratic party's fault For that reason
I am n Democrat. first, last and all
time, dead or alive" Oaughter).
ATTORNEY KINNEY.
w. A. Kinney was the next speaker,
giving an address first in English and
then in Hawaiian. He said: we
Democrats occupy a peculiar position
in the islands. The democracy has no
enduring position among the Hawaiian
people. It is right to admit it. It
means the tail end of things to Ha-
waiians. But time alone VIII show that
the Democratic party is the only sound
party in the United States. Because
of its principles the Republican party
is the doomed party and 1t viii go out
of existence long before the Democratic
party shows any signs of age. The
