April .f 1011 year --lbs first ootrespondenoe
w iob I ever had with you on the subject :
" Yours of yesterday r.o.ived. 1 km

Now, that 1s *e quotation. How do you
noontide your own statemeat, above given,
with the statement in your last letter to -
girding my •tilted. to Campbell and my
worrying you in June to obtain the po11-
offioe for me ! If I had been aottng in June
as you aimed, why was it osoeseary for you
to ask me to apply for the postohoe 1n the
last of August! Somebody is bearing falba
withers in this oafs. and 1 am not doing it.
My attitude to re erenoe to the retention
01 Postmaster Campbell M not s new ons...
I explained attars in full to mimosa of HIV
Master. at Ottawa In May last, and did
not hesitate to say that the damaml of
Campbell would do injury to the Literal
party. espsoially it it were Implemented by
appointing John Galt. I repeated this to
three of the Ministers at Ottawa on a sub-
sequent visit. and left • written statement
of the Dane on that occasion. So, you see,
your feeble and t•lse attempt to attach s
stigma to ma in this regard is futile in the
ex trent}
Ana pow a word in regard to your at -
tads er nepotism. No men in Canada has
ever Neighed against the orime,-for crime
it ie --Ss a greater artist this you. With-
out elle grandiloquent esntesoes demoino-
mp merotism, nearly all of your .pesob.s
d uos your powers began to decline, would
have bean "fiat, stale and unprofitable." It
wee the harden of your song on every oo-
aseian of late years, and the language you
employed was strong, stern, rebottle= asd
even vulgar.
