The incidents which have marked two of .Mr. Massoy's meetings in Auokland only emphasise-the unfortunate nature of the compact . made with the hope of defeating the Reform Party. Not only have stones been thrown at windows, but. on Friday evening a deliberate attempt was made to injure Mr. Massey as lie loft the hall. Tlie missile was rudely aimed, but the fact that, it seriously injured a bystander face it strunjc shows that it was thrown with ferocipus intent. The throwing of stones from the. concealment of a crowd, the pcattering'"6f spikes under horses' feet, and the preparation.of loaded olubs were methods" ijsed by the Petjeration strikers a year ago, and apparently they are pursuing the same tactios in the political.'. Contest. On Thursday the electors will have their opportunity to declare ■whether a party whose supporters de-scend-to the meanness and cowardice of 1 ' and "pushes" is to be placed * in'a: ppsition from which it ca]i'dictate the policy pf tlie Zealand.
