We wish the native ITawaiians to take pnrticulAr notice tbat somo of tbc \rriters on the gOTērnment side ; are at present trying to create an imjpi,essioii tliat 110 matt«r whieli sicle! | wius the comiug election, ihe polili- | eal future of the couutry will be all |right. Tlu« h«8 been done becouse jthe Natīonal HFRAU>and some of the |Other uative uewspapers have poiuted out from time to time that the futūre poliheal fato of the nat-ive race depends upon every native Hawaiian voting against the f, exist?ng adm:nis-trat-iop/' and its well dcilned polit-ic-.il poliey, at the coming electiou. Tlie vuform pai ty pi*oposeb to pro j tect the political interests of the ! nati%'e Hawaiians a« well those of the haoh working clasßes of the king j dom.
