MR BRYCE IN WAIKATO.

IU'XTLY. Tim number of settlers interested in tho important compensation case now sitting at lluntly afforded Mr Brvce an excellent opportunity of meeting many of his constituents residing in Lower Waikato and wishing them good-bye, which otherwise ho ini'jht not have been able to do. This he took advantage of on Thursday last. Ln addressing tlm meeting, which iiad been somewhat hurriedly called, ho

t inched upon most of the subjects dealt witli moio fully in his speech at Hamilton on Tuesday night Ilis reception was very hearty, indicating most unmistakably that his lato actions had met with the hearty approval of his adherents in this portion of tho electorate. During his speech he referred in very flattering terms to Dr. Broome, with whom he had been in communication during the lato unpleasant proceedings in the House. Mr Bryce loft by train for Ngaruawahia, where he addressed another meeting. NG.VItUAV'ATIIA. On Thursday Mr Bryce visited Tluntly, where lie met a number of his Jato constituents returning to Ngaruawahia by train, and staying the nisht there. Mr 11. P. Bayly, thinking this would ba a good opportunity for Mr Bryce to say gnod-bye to the ele tors in and around Ngaruawahia, asked Mr Bryce if he would address a meeting in the evening, to which that geti tleman consented. Notwithstanding tho very short notice, however, at S o'clock between thirty and forty electors attended tho meeting, which was held in tho cottage connected with the Waipa H itel. Mr Iv. Fitzp itrick occupied the chair, and introduced Mr Bryre, who ,vas received with loud 'prilause. Sir B've- t'len delivered ari address very similar to that delivered in Hamilton, during which ho was frequent y applauded. Ho impressed forcibly on those present thelfuli ity of returning an independent representative, and advised their, if they could not see their way to return a pronounced supporter of the Opposition, like Mr K. Lake, to support a Government candidate, but at all events to have nothing to do with an independent candidate. At the conclusion, three cheers for Mr Bryco and three for Mr Lake were enthusiastically given.

Mr Lako's candidature is very favourably looked upon here, and ha will most certainly bo largely supportod here and iu the neighbumhood.—(A. correspondent).
