THE GENERAL ELECTIONS.

MR. HINE AT TOKO

(From a Correspondent.)

At Mr J. B. Hine’s meeting at Toko on Saturday night the hall was full. Mr Marfell was voted to the chair, and opened the meeting by sayiung lie had known Mr Hine for thirty years, intimately for most of that time, and had never known him to he anything but sincere and upright. He thought that whatever shade of political feeling people had they could not withhold their admiration from a man who had the courage of his convictions, nor their appreciation of the manner in which he had fulfilled his duties as member for the district. It was scarcely necessary to introduce Mr Hine, as they all knew him, and lie was quite sure they would accord him fair play and a courteous hearing. Mr Hine, who was applauded on rising, proceeded to deal with the political questions of the clay on lines of his previous speeches, and received a splendid hearing. Mr W. L. Kennedy proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Hine for his able address, stating that it was needless to add confidence, as Mr Hine was so well known to all present, and the confidence would be revealed at -the ballot box. ■ This was seconded by Mr Cuthbertson and carried with applause. The meeting closed with ciieers for both sides.
