Gray and seconded by Mr T, Holdea. A. correspondent wires that at Alexandra on Friday evening Mr Gilkison had the best meeting seen for some years. The hall was paoked and numerous qnestions were ask^d. Mr Rivers, in proposing a vote of confidence, said some people say there are too many lawyers in the House, but they were not all of tbe stamp of Mr Gilkison. He had known him since he came to the district as a sterling man of integrity. Mr Laidlaw seconded the motion, which was carried with cheers. - Mr Benoet addressed a large meeting of j electors at Dunrobin on Wednesday evening. A large number of questions were asked and answered to the apparent satisfaction of the meeting which accorded Mr Bennet an unanimous vote of thanks and confidence. Tbe mover of a vote pf thanks to Mr Stewart at Waipabi on Tuesday evening made a naive confession. He said that a few nights previously be bad taken advantage of an \ opportunity to hear Mr Gilkison, a candidate for Tuapeka, speak, and what he then heard left him without hope in the colooy's fu'ure, and be bad seriously thought of realising ott bis property — he was not without a stake in the country— and " l'ghting out" for " fresh fields and pastures new." Now, however, after listening to Mr Stewart's speech, things generally had tak»n on a* more roseate hue. He oould now see plainly that the talk of impending financial disaster was only a ghost, called up by tha Conservatives purely for electioneering purposes. Id faot, although be had always been inclined to sympathise with the Opposition before, he ft It so disgusted with the way Messrs Allen, Gilkison, and others were now defaming the fair fame and credit of the colony, that he intended to sup port the Government right out henceforth.
