MINISTERIAL.
TI-IE HON. W. lIERRIES. By Telegraph—Press Association. , Te Arolia, Last Night. The Hon. W. Merries opened the Post Office at Waihou yesterday, and in the evening was entertained at a banquet by the settlers of the district. Mr. W. P. Chepmell, 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 his health, Mr. Herries said that it was the farming community who had put the Reform Government in power. It was generally agreed that they had 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 lender and without a policy. He pointed out that he had raised the salaries of the railway servants and had vastly improved the prospects of the Maoris. To-day Mr. Herries was entertained at a garden party in the Te Aroha Domain. There was a very large attendance and the proceedings passed oil' \vitli great eclat.
