Reform Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reform Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom was organized following the enactment of the 1887 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii. In the election following the promulgation of the 1887 constitution, on September 12, 1887, the party came to power in the legislature.[1]

In January, 1890, the National Reform Party was established in opposition to the Reform Party, drawing from Hui Kalai'aina and the Mechanics' and Workingmens' Political Protective Union.[2]

In 1892, the National Liberal Party was established as a radical offshoot of the National Reform Party.[3]
