Last week a meeting was called for Saturday night by the natives to discuss the Constitution but only two or three attended so it was adjourned until Tuesday evening of this week when about fifty natives and as many whites put in an appearance. Mr. W. White, a half white, said that the new Constitution was bad, in that it was very partial to whom it gave the franchise. He thought it was wrong to exclude the Chinese and Japanese and particularly the latter as there was a treaty with Japan which required ns to respect the rights of the Japs and he thought they should be entitled to vote as well as any American We are also called upon to take an oath to support the new Constitution before we can vote and I advise you not to do so but rather remain at home and not vote at all Ben Brown approved of Whites remarks and referred to the petition to the King asking all natives to sign it. Judge Lyman then arose and made a long speech. He took the new Constitution and explained it to the natives touching strongly on the feature that are the trouble to them. He said in concluding that there might be changes required in it but that the proper time to do so was at and through the Legislature. He advised all natives to take the oath and vote and then when the Legislature convened to present their grievance if any. He also said it was useless to petition the King and advised them not to do it. D. H. Hitchcock then arose and explained the reason why the Chinese and Japanese were not allowed to vote touched briefly on the Constitution generally and called on all to take the oath and vote. John T. Baker, our Sheriff followed in a very persecuted tone. The stories which were circulated about him during the height of the revolutionary proceedings he denied and then turning to the Bible for consolation said that Jesus was a poor persecuted man and was always being led about and he thought he felt something like Jesus now. He appeared to be conciliatory from stress of circumstances. Referring to the change in the Constitution and the trouble attendants, he said, "the haoles whispered and the deed was done." It came upon them so quick they could hardly realize the change, but they had better probably accept the state of affairs. Kekoa, of Puna fame, was now seen toddling forward his feet swathed in bandages It is quite apparent that his high living in coffee shops while in attendance on the last Legislature has told senouslv on him and we never more expect to see Kekoa free from coffee gout. It is really too bad that the bill "to regulate the strength of coffee in restaurants" did not pass last session when we see such sad havoc played with a man as this. But our legislators should not live so high If we only had Jim Keene, or some other Wall-street bull, to run a coffee corner, we might expect to save the next Legislature. However, Kekoa soon warmed up, and launched into a strong denunciation of the Constitution and advised all natives not to take the oath or support it in any way. An old kanaka from the country spoke up, and, with kanaka volubility, praised the Constitution, raked Bill White and all non-supporters mercilessly over the coals; said he did not think Chinese or Japanese should vote and then called upon all kanakas to support it. At a call for signatures to this petition to the King, five men and about twenty hoodlums from Puueo stepped forward and signed it. This petition is the same as the one lately presented to the King in Honolulu. It is very apparent that the natives accept the present change in the hope of a better future. This meeting was the voice of the malcontents, and it may be said they could hardly be heard. — ARCHIMEDES

@ KAVEBEAR: Thanks for yet another solid article on a relatively unknown topic. Just wondering why you use "created" knight commander instead of "made", which I think is correct. "Created" is used twice, so I imagine it was deliberate? Vanamonde ( talk) 09:26, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

There was a distinction between the Hawaiians who opposed the Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii. One sides who supported the queen and wanted the monarchy restored considering themselves Royalists and one side who supported the idea of Hawaiian nationhood, independence and self-rule as the more paramount agenda and did not necessarily support the queen considering themselves Loyalists. This is apparent in the newspaper records which used the two terms and not necessarily interchangeably. However, until more sources and research on the subject can be had, it's hard to distinguish and say what is what or who is who. So this is an idea that needs new scholarly research and insight before we have it for inclusion.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 03:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
