TELEGRAMS.
(PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
DUNEDIN, October 8.
An explanation has been made in connection with the charges of bribery made with reference to the Waihemo electorate, from which ii appears that the whole raattei arose out of a misconception. A man did receive a telegram, in which an offer was made ; but, it turns out, ou en> qniry being made, that the telegram was nut genuine, but was apparently a practical joke, some one having obtained a telegraph form, wrote the offer on it, and posted it, and the person who received it thought the telegram a genuine one until he made enquiries.
