UPROAR IN MORRINSVILLE.
MR. REID SEVERELY HECKLED.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
MORRINSVILLE, this day.
Mr. D. Stewart Reid, the Reform candidate for Waikato, had a mixed reception when addressing on Saturday evening the largest crowd seen at a political meeting in Morrinsville in this campaign. Interjections were frequent throughout the speech, and at the conclusion questions were fired at the candidate for nearly an hour. Most of them were asked from hostile quarters and several of the candidate's answers failed to satisfy the audience, who cheered, groaned and applauded alternately.
A motion of thanks and confidence was proposed, and also an amendment of no-confidence. A show of hands was taken, but the chairman's ruling could not be heard above the general uproar and the meeting ended in confusion.
