Mr Arthur had a most successful meeting last evening. The candidate stated his views clearly and concisely, and was listened to with attention throughout. In fajt, the speech, neither in matter nor delivery, bore any resemblance to the usual maiden effort. It wrs amply demonstrated last evephig that Mr Arthur has enlightened aix* practical ideas as to how the country should be governed, and that heisfu»y capable of giving expression to these ideas in Parliament oi* anywhere else. Although the candidate received a fair hearing, the same cannot be said of tlie treatment accorded to Mr File, uho moved the vote of confidence, owing to a few noisy people amongst the audience. Xr File during the course of his remarks could not bo heard above the din of interruptions, and the Chairman made no appeal to restore order. On being informed by a gentleman on the platform of his duty to ci deavor to keep order, Captain Tucker rqilied that the matter was at the discretion of the audience, itud that it was none of his bisine=s to injjerfere in any way. VVe have attended ma-fiy political meetings, but it is tie first time that we have heard a Chairman j cbliver a ruling of the kind.
