You've got it right the first time. Searching for a distionary
entry didn't yield any exact results, but one entry noted that
it was an idiomatic expression intended to convey agreement.
Web1913 also has a relevant note:
Note: Hear, or Hear him, is often used in the imperative,
especially in the course of a speech in English
assemblies, to call attention to the words of the
speaker.
Hear him, . . . a cry indicative, according to
the tone, of admiration, acquiescence,
indignation, or derision. --Macaulay.
