' The Tuapeka Times is responsible for the following :— Mr W. A. Murray, the defeated candidate for Waikato, carried round through the electorate a Highland bagpipe, with which, for lack of anything better, he tried to charm the electors, though vainly as the result proved, into his views. At one settlement he came out on the platform kilted and accoutred in wondrous fashion, to the utter amazement of the audience, who were mostly men and women. Never before, Hying as they were on the confines of civilisation, had they seen so grotesque a figure or so wild a rig out. After a preliminary walk up and down the platform, while adjusting and shaking the pipes up into good screaming order, the candidate suddenly wheeled round on his audience and blew a wild screech on his instrument. The effect on the natives was electrical. They jumped to the door a tangled mass of blankets and struggling, shrieking, half-naked men and women, and in a minute or two the building was cleared of all but a few Scotch settlers, who agreed to dispense with the speech and take their politics out the national instrument.
