A SERIOUS CHARGE. , Auckland, Last Night.

Fearing the .! .outcome of this transaction, tho 'or- i ganiser subsequently offered £IOO for the return °fjie document given to the .' candidate. -This was refused. The idea, ' of course, was to keep the Social democrat in the field against the liberal, with a view of splitting tho Liberal and Labor vote.
