Hawaii Holomua, Volume I, Number 64, 2 December 1893 — No Buncombe. [ARTICLE]

No Buncombe.

The Secretary of State desires it to be distinctly understood that there is no buncombe in his action or that of the President. In the course pursued they have been controlled by only one desire, and that is to right a gross wrong. Political questions have been waived entirely, and the conclusion reached has not been hasty. No question, not even that pertaining to finances, has been more thoroughly discussed and deliberated upon than this Hawaiian question. Secretary Gresham has worked day and night upon the subject, wading through thousands of pages of manuscript, hearing personal argument and discussing the subject from all standpoints. Not the least important papers which aided in bringing about the conclusion of the President and his Cabinet were the reports of Mr. Nordhoff, who was sent by the HERALD to Hawaii to furnish the public with an intelligent unbiassed account of the true inwardness of the Queen's overthrow and the sentiment of that country in the annexation question. You've noticed when you're going out, Your wife must change her gown; And though she says she'll hurry up, She never hurries down. --Yonkers Statesman.
