volume and longevity. The sixteen
faithful ones stood calmly on the other
side of the car-line and waited, wait
ed and waited for their leader to cease
talking. But Achi would not cease
worth whoop. He was there to speak,
and speak he would until his tongue
refused to wiggle any longer.
He started with McCandless and the
land laws Clearly, precisely and lido
matically he carried his hearers through
the mystic mazes of the law and
proved that Motley was the only man
to untangle the web and spin the gilt
tering thread that leads the lost adj
venturer out to daylight and freedom.
When McCandless had been undone
and consigned to the ash heap of
broken aspirations, he went a few
rounds with John Lane. Poor John.
One could but feel sorry for him as
he was metaphorically iabbed in the
face, punched in the solar pleXus, beat
en- over the kidneys in the clinches and
then finally counted out. 1t was sad
and narrowing spectacle that the glib
orator brought up and everybody gave
sigh of relief when he turned to
his next victim, who happened to be
Joe Fern.
Somewhat fatigued with his exer-
tions over the defeat of Lane, Achi
let Fern down trifle more easily. He
set upon the Democratic nominee g
lack of mayoral law, whatever that
may be. And, what little knowledge
of this abstruse subject the innocent
Joe may have had before Achi started
| in on him, it is certain that now it is
all gone.
After the crowd had dwindled down
to an unlucky thirteen and even the
absorbed quintet was yawning, Achi de-
| cided that he would stop, and so fin
ished up with magnificent blaze of
verbal pyrotechnics in which he climb
ed the dizzy heights of metaphor and
finally finished in a soul-stirring cli-
max with himself as the great, the
one, the only law.maker, law-giver and
w-interpreter of the Territory.

the office of treasurer long enough, and
it was about time the Republicans had
a chance at it to see what they could
do. He said that he was as much a
| child of the country as any of them
and in this connection he gave his
genealogy after the manner of the
genealogies of the Bible, telling the
i Hawaiian names by which his parents
and grand parents had been know. Thii
part of his speech provoked mucl
laughter.
, John Wise said he had been in tn
instruction of 1895, fighting for hi
, people, and he was in this campaigl
, lighting for them. He said that it ha
been the proudest boast of Kameha
! meha the Great that he had made
r safe for old people to sleep by tn
roadside, and that if he were electe
. Sheriff it should be his endeavor t
/ make life and property as safe in thi
!, county as it had been under the Cor
g queror,
n Referring to his opponents, jarrett
e and Iaukea, he told his auditors to AS
+ them where they were in 1895, and
J. their reply was that they were in Hi
n wall, then not to vote for them, becaus
) they were not with the insurrectionisi
and fighting for their people and the
Q Queen, and therefore they were not 4
c good friends of the Hawaiian as
S was.
ell OF Iaukea, he said that he had r
e ceived high honors from the monarch
d but was one of the first TO declare fl
l. annexation.
Ie In conclusion, Wise told the wome
e. present to be sure TO keep their hu
"a bands sober until after they had vote
t. and then they could get drunk.
