'the morning' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'vote against taxi that's hiked fare for some' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'against' could be 'con' (as in pros and cons, for and against) and 'con' is present in the answer.
'fare' could be 'b' (B is an example) and 'b' is found within the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.
