BitoKEN ]-)romises— government promises ! The Hawaiian. lying club— the remaining big three ! Yote the National Eeform ticket f ' first last and every time ! The Times having fulfilled it mission of vilification and misrepresentation gurgh?s its last gurgle today! Let every man who fnvors political justice to thē industrial classes of Hawaii vote the Nat:onal Reform ticket! - Eveuy missionary who votes the government ticket to day will vote against the * 4 professed" principles of a life time ' When the Times speaks of £t tbe intelligence and enterprise of the country" it luis no referenee to personal characteristics but refers to wealth! The ticket of whisky, sugar and prayers " is another political. pretpxt put forth by the goverument party to secure the ehanee to break more promises made to the people ! The government organ asserts that tfae reform party has reduced the number of Chinese in the country by j three thousand. How large a reduction in Honolulu has been eflectcd 9 .— — " Why d;d the so-ealled Reform party entrust all tlie road districts outside of Honolul .i to road boards and retain a road superisor in Honolulu? Answer— Because --er™um-ah-aheiii" eh—you know! The Times says: "Remember that your opponents will vote the straight party ticket/' Certainly, for thej National Eeform party is the only| really straight one aiid its ticket is correspondingly straight. Home c*'ipital got into the bad way of going out of the couhtry for investment, ete. —-Times. Never in the same length of time has so mueh home capital songht foreign fields of investment as during the pe»eni governoient party's ineum' bency! Since the government party cannot have Chinese eheap labor as it wants, \ its leaders have determinedto promise what tlie people demand at this point and then flood the country with Japanese eheap labor —if they getthej ehanee! Let every workingman and| native Hawaiian see that the party of j new promises never gets the desired; ehaneel

'liah for the government party'! About two hxtndre< 1 people asse.m'l)l» ed at the Armory last night to liston to the government eandidates. The balance of about twentyfiNe huiuliul were at the National Befoim pnty s meetiiig held al thc P ilaee Square! Thē Ameiiean J)cd irati :>n cf Independance deelaies that all men are created equal. Tlie so*called reform party has ruled that. equality at birtli is superseded eventually by an ine ■ quality due to property qūa]ification. The government party has nomina' ted for representative in the second district Mr. Ka-ne, onn of the five men _whose iiaTiTes vrere stricken from the roll of tlie Haw r aiian Politieal Assoeiation for connection with the i, evolt cj 1889.' ■;: ;. ;■ Mh. Orabbe is accused by the Times of calling Mr. Aelii ' 4 a little half'Chinese monlvey". īt then ehallenges Mr. Crabbe to-deny it, if he ean. Is the gentleman prepared to deny that Mr. Aehi is ;' a little halfChinese monkey?" The Advertiser claims that the reform party has introduced the principle of eivil service reform. How ? We will answer. Hon. H. S. Townsend intoduced a bill providing for civil service reforui,' : Mr. Thurs* ton moved its indefinite postponement —carried ! The Advertiser manifests great alarm over the._probabiltty of Kational Refom suecess. "īt fears all tlijg good accomplished by the government will be swept aw r ay. Fear not, It is the evil of the existing regime that ]ias created au issue between the two parties. The good wiīl all be safe. Fulia twenty- iflve hundred persons assembled at Pulaee Square last night to listen to the last speeches on National Heform 'be|ore the ieeiion. The assemblage was princi aliy eomj posed of natives.

Now the Times takes a National Reform candidate to task for calling Mr. Aehi a little half«Chinese Monkey, " and then calls the lan* guage 4 4 personal. " Does the Times mean to admit the accuracy of the appellation or will. it contend that he is a " half'little Chinese Monkey " or that he is 44 a little Chinese half» ccoukey ī

WOT!KINC,mēN will remeinbev tliat to the government party is (lue ilio eiv grafting of a propert*' qnalifieation on | Hawaiian politie«, Thfe politica! vagary, like others of the aforesaid partyV has been and is being relegated to oblivion by eTery enlightened naMpn on the globe. The principle that the government is a stoek corporation and aaeh voter a shareholder originated with tyrants and landgrabbers. The Times hints at tlie ioeking up of capitaī and the handicapj)ing of enterprise liable to result from a Kational lleforiri vietory.

Capitalists in Hawaii are no exception to the general lot — tney never loek np eap' ital wlien it has a ehanee to increaso ! Kot being able to answer, tlie government party will likely openly deny our eharges and dooumentary p]-oof pubiislied on the treaty question ye«terday afternoon. īf this is done, the publie will please rcmeruber that we have abso3ute proof either in onr possession or where we ean get it on notice, oI eaeh and every allegation and fact published by us yesterday in our article headed "īmlh about the Treaty." ■ ■ •: We ask every good and patriotic citizen of Hawaii to remember the chief politieal acts done by'tliē leaders of the present gOvernment party during the seizure of the Hawaiian Government in 1887: togethei* with tlje many things said ai:d written by the ministers and backers of tbe party of promises sinee that to justify their past unconstitutionai acts and mako consistent their present political policy of new promises* Votērs, remember tliat the legislative candidates of the goverumont party are not even pledged to th eir platform! You see theso candidates were nominated and, subsequently, the platform was adopted. No eandidates for rcpresentatives on the gov ernment tieket are pledged iii any way, unless they are pledged to support the ' ( existi ng adm inistrallon" in their poliicy against the people' s interests and tlie independenee of the country!

The assertion that the present government will not entertain or support any such proposition in the fuiure is simply another ministerial promise.
