these trickBters and -p!edge breakers who onee were allowed tō take the lead out of respect to j and a mistaken WliefTind eincerity in their integrity. • These ,treach- j erous and underliaoded professing fi iends of the maBses, and more es-1 pecially of the native Ilawaiiane. to whom some ot them are allied bv malrriage, are now, in the very bitterness of. dispair and <3isappointament, willing to sell honor and self respect, to defeat and avenge themselves on those whom their own crookedness4»has lead to look upon them astraitors. • The Bush-Wilcox faction never made anythmg b/their connection with these would be leaders, and back-scuttl,e politicians. They have never had the courage and openhandedness of an honest man, and placed themlselves on record as do publi<2-characters 'm other countrbs. Thefr meduocre eompels them to hire mea, to battle for them, and to villify those who are honestly struggling for their rights. Thev are like the cowardly assassin» who lacks physieal and tnoral courage, and has to hire a poor, unfortunate trash v who is otherwise unahle to help himself, and uncler his name and disguise, to play the role *f tho Mafia. To these and to theii anrl wflling tools, weSidadieu temporarily and lsave them".to %e workings of their oUn evil eonsciences.
