CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for tho opinions expressed by our correspondents). THE ELECTIONS. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l very much liked Mr. Locke’s ad* dress published in your last night’s paper, and I can see it comes direct from himself and is not touched up by some of his friends, who are not quite so honest in their inten* tions as Mr. Locke. Mr. Locke speaks to us in his own honest manly way, and means what he says. A good many are trying to lead us away to vote for the other two candidates who are said to be the working man’s friends. Now, Sir, lam not going to be taken by that sort of thing, I can’t find that either Mr. Rees or Gannon has ever done a thing for a working man. Mr. Locke has done many a good turn, and given many a man a lift. Some one is spreading it among us that Mr. Locke, if elected, would go in for cutting down wages. You know Sir, this is rot, and those who start such yams must think we are children or fools. I have known and worked under Mr. Locke for many years, and all I can say is that if any man ever wants a help and deserves it, there is no man more willing or able than Mr. Locke to give it.—l am, &c., A Working Man.
