Back message telling Noble Desfontaines (a lawyer) that at a meeting held by the insurgents, he was elected to become the Attorney General of the Provisional Government. Signed “Cabinet Maker” - Desfontaines did not accept.
Content: “Sir, I beg to inform you that at a meeting held today you have been chosen to fill the host of Attorney General in the new ministry. Will you please inform your supporters, if you accept the appointment? Yours Truly, Cabinet Maker. Honolulu 9th Sept. 1892.”
This is interesting as DesFontaines was new to Hawaii, a scholar and shown no interest in joining the Provisional Government and did not. But to send a Postcard is quite interesting. The term "Cabinet Maker" may have been a member for someone helping to draw out a "Cabinet" for the new Provisional Government.
