COL. MCCARTHY TALKS.
Senator Mccarthy was the first
speaker. He said he was a Democrat
because that party was the party of
| the people. Shortly after the early
part OF the 18th century, the party was
| in the lead and remained In control for
some years. He dwelt upon the action
of the party in the matter of settling
the land question over there. Immi-
grafton was the long suit of the Demo-
Gratis and the party gave the immi-
grants the rights of citizehship-mak-
ing them Just as good Americans as
those who were born on the soil. His
father, he said, was given those rights
tby a Democratic Congress (applause.)
He referred to the departure of the
steamer with immigrants from the
Azores and added that he hoped within
ten years to see them all citizens vot-
ing the Democratic ticket.
A dog fight interrupted the speaker
at this moment and he upkindly re-
ferred to the matter as the Republican
! party in a scrap.
He promised a simple election law
If the Democratic party Is placed in
power and reiterated his remarks OF
the previous night, relative to repre-
sentation in the Legislature. 1t was
neither equal nor proper and should be
changed.
The crowd which was large one,
paid close attention to the speaker
and applauded him at intervals.
Silva's name was mentioned and was
a signal for applause. Col Mccarthy
was followed by William Kinney, who
said in part:
RESPECT FOR SILVA.
This meeting has been called in this
section out of respect to MIR. Silva,
who will make his fight on the land
Question. He has chosen wisely fot
that Is to be an important question
Interesting the young men of.the Port
uguese colony. 1 have wondered In
looking around this assembly, how
many of these people wnrlands in fee
simple. l do not think marry of them
We know of the thousands of acres
here that are not obtainable for set
Element under the present laws.
He went carefully into the land ques-
ton OF the Territory and said that 80
Hong as 1t was In the hands of the Re
publican party there would be no
change. 1.-The Portuguese vote has not
amounted to any thing" he said, be
cause II has blindly followed the Re-
publican party" He told how land
had been divided on Kauai by
a plantation and taken up by Port
uguese. There was no water and Nc
Bryde plantation arranged it for them
at n cost of $500, that would cost them
$780, We do this because we believe
1t will pay us. 1t happens often when
a man takes up land from the govern
ment he has not the money to i'm
prove and he finds himself far from
market and with no road SO long as
the land laws continue as they are this
condition will exist.
He prophesied the early dawn OF a
new day to Hawaii. Planters will
learn that 1t is better for them to have
their lands cut up into smaller holdings
and settled upon by homesteaders. One
manager had lost 1000 tons of sugar in
