CORRESPONDENCES.

Mr Hoes at Eketahuna. (To THE EhllOß.) S|r,—ln the Bkatuhuna and Pahlatm Uuil of tho 2Gth inst, I notice a lettor signed by the reporter of that paper, who talks about finding a man to receive the belt from Todgor's Social Club of liars, but after reading the above letter I consider the man |3 iflundiu the person of its author. He says- that there wore over 200 persons present and that If r Hogg received a vo.te of confidence by a bjg majority, I 'but he docs not contradict tho fact that Mr Beetkam received hearty cheers at the close of the meeting, Now the faots of tho case are these. About 104 people were present, nud a most .attentive and orderly hearing was given to Mr Hogg's hour and forty minutes of abuse of everybody who belonged to the present Government and did not support Mr Ballanco's show. Not one sentenoo of any pqh'oy'Wua brought fonyarcj % Mf Hogg, and Y/len'questioned about it he answered in such a way that no policy was introduced, and no doubt lie did this so that nobody would be able to acouse him of changing, I do not see myself how this mud rooting oan assist the poor and struggling settler out of the mire, as wo all kuow the more the mud is disturbed the worse it is, Mr Hogg received a voto of thanks, as an ainondmcnt was moved to that. effect and carried." Threehearty" cheers wero- given for Mr Beetham by a good majority of those present, and I think Mr 'Hogg will iind that on tho sth December Mr Beetham will have received the confidence of the majority of tho voters of this- district. I am sure all thoughtful mcu must know that what we require is a careful and honest person to assist in the government of the country—one who is most likely to fulfil-tlfese requirements. A man who iindi fault with everybody who does'hot agree with Mr Ballance (and no doubt Mr Hogg would follow him blindly) is seeking our suffrages, and one who has been tried for years and no man can Bay that lie has doiie a discourteous aqd dishonest deed. This candidate'-therefore commands the respect of his fellow men, and-1 feel sure Mr Beoiham will agajoirenresaiit (is with Honour, ,*?">■'{ .-.'" ':■ '-..•/. 'vl'ani,i&cj,' : BysrSt'ijtp,
