Smith, the friend of John Bright, who was standing for Parliament in Dunfermline.

Uncle was a member of his Committee and all went well until it was proclaimed that Smith was a "Unitawrian." The district was placarded with the enquiry: Would you vote for a "Unitawrian"?
It was serious.

The Chairman of Smith's Committee in the village of Cairney Hill, a blacksmith, was reported as having declared he never would.

Uncle drove over to remonstrate with him.

They met in the village tavern over a gill: "Man, I canna vote for a Unitawrian," said the Chairman.
"But," said my uncle, "Maitland [the opposing candidate] is a Trinitawrian." "Damn; that's waur," was the response.
And the blacksmith voted right.
