Office at Waihon yesterday, and in the evening was entertained t a banquet by the settlers of the districi. Mr W. P. Cliepmell, for many years chairman of the Piako County Council, presided, and there was a large attendance of old pioneers of the district. In replying to the toast of Jos health, Mr Herries said that R was the farming community who had put the Reform Government in power. H was generally agreed that they Jnul got through their first session creditably. All their measures had been carried, and they had not suffered a single defeat. The old Liberal Party had dropped into oblivion, and was without a leader and without a policy. He pointed out that lie had raised the salaries of the railway servants and had vastly improved the prospects of the Maoris. To-day Mr Hcrries was entertained at a garden party in the To Arolia Domain. There was a very large attendance and the proceedings passed off with great eclat.
