IS KISSING BRIBERY A
A saoTCS ELECTION STORY.
The.MacWhittle, of Whittlemuir,was
not, as every one _knows, a rich man
when he left his native town of Fash
kirk, some 30 years ago, to seek his for-
tune in -Australia, buthe was uncom-
monly well-off when he returned about
two years since and announced his in-
tention of contesting Fashkirk at the
next election. He had bought the
estate of old Lord. Whinanbeg, whose
ehepherd he had been in the days .of
auld hang synei before the noble Lord
had taken to speculating in. Turkish
bonds, and he had. : brought with him
from, the gold diggings a hearty, sun-
burnt, Irish wife, and a jovial troop of
grown-up sons and daughters.
The sitting member for Fashkirk was
at that time another MacWhittle, who
called himself the only genuine Mac -
Whittle, and hastened to denounce his
new clansman from Australia as a
spurious imitation. Lord Whinanbeg,
however, who was chief of - a younger
branch of the MacWhittles, naturally
gave his preference to the Australian.
MacW.; so that the MaoWhittle who
sat for Fashkirk had his nose put alto-
gether out of joint_ What is worse,
many of the pious folks in the town ac-
cused the good man of having lied to
them (or felled them lees), in having so
long palmed himself off as the only Mac -
Whittle ; the truth being that Mac -
Whittle, M. P., was rather prudent with
his money, whereas the ex -Australian
scattered his about in regular har;dfuls,
like cern-seed froni which the sower ex-
pects a good. crop. It soon became evi-
dent that the new MacWhittle would
carry everything before him at the polls,
and so the event proved, for when Par-
liament was unexpectedly dissolved in
the spring of the present year, the new
MacWhittle wrested the seat from his
rival by a majority of about a hundred
votes.
But thereupon the elder MacWhittle
was wroth, and vowed that the erection
had been won by "corrooptiou and
braiberee." He filed a petition, and in
due comae a brace of judges came down
in state to try the same in the; little
justice court of Fashkirk. Now these
judges were both very hard-headed,
austere men, with no taste for 'joking
and no grasp of humor, The senior r one,
old Lord Drapinthee, occasionally;: in-
dulged in a glass of whiskey after din-
ing in convivial company, and ;would\
smile under the influence of this pota-
tion, but he never smiled at other; tirries.
The junior one., Lord MacPeppervraith,
was a hot, pimply, peppery, fidgetty
judge, who was popularly believed not
to have & best point. He lived on cold
water and vegetables ; was a member of
the Free Kirk, whose services he re-
gularly attended, and banned allthe
amusements and pastimes of the earth
even to smoking, as temptations of the
dell. It seemed that with such judges
as these the new MacWhittiq Insist
came off badly, if lie really he.d !any
acts of bribery on his conscience ;
and his agent looked in truth, very un-
comfortable as he stepped into the wit-
ness box.
This _ agent, a gentleman named
Crewke, was, however, a lawyer, and
quite as sharp as either of the two
judges. He fenced off every question
put to him by the answer that she had
received orders from his principal not
to bribe, that he had not bribed, and,
that his conscience made him abhor
bribery. As to the canvassing, it had
almost all been done by the MacWhit-
tie's daughters—"braw, bonnie lasses,
my lads, who had no need to carry
money about them when they went buy-
ing votes."
"How can you buy anything without
money sorr ?" inquired Lord Drapine
thee, sternly.
"Yon might give an equivalent, my
lad„' answered. Mr. Crewke.
"A cheque for instance,” suggested
Lord MacPepperwraith.
"No, something nicer, my lud."
_ "What can be nicer than cheques ?"
asked Lord Drapinthee, in solemn be-
wilderment.
"Anyhow, a vote bought is a vote
illegally obtained," remarked the coun-
sel for the petitioner. •
"I didn't mean to use the word buy ;
I should have said 'procure,'" explain-
ed Mr. Crewke.
"Why do you say things you don't
interposed the counsel fo
tioner, who was the Prov
law.
"Aweel, ye called this w
self," responded Lord
"May be ye'd liked to hear
noo ?"
"No, I've had enough of
]eddies," exclaimed the o
general merriment. "I'd
