'! To ray Quzia in^Amiraky. \, " iri.^^u^ October 10th, 1881. •■""i"Dear Pat.T-Tiie political atmosphere is gctlin very .tbiek an dangerous around us. It it waseut for Mr Dane's (the Borojapaker) hemitit, that's presarvan the Boro timbers an shingles, we'd soon have no town to reprisint. You see, he wants to expirimint while the flud money lasts. I hope he won't loose by this spicula-: tiou as he did by the High School luvist- ! mint. Weil Pat, I'll not bother you with trifles. Its somethiu to be a free aud indipindint elictor now. The wud-be members are shaken hands wid elictorsat eviry corner, an sometimes doin it twice over in their egerncss.to be civil. Jist the koindly way the detietive does it, you know. Begorra, fcpait is in grate truble. wid the Orjngmen, bekase at the League taeotin in Wiliington he cracked his obligation, and hurled insults at the English '(hrone.' His iloquence was grate aginst the schames. Dident Mack Hone gane a victory, but we mushent let the fragments from that platform blind us, as a cozmopolotaa dout suite our faith. I must till you the doctor intinds to nail his colors to the Upper House at last, if the elictors subscribe enugh money to buy the tacks, Sir George's paste wudent stick. Och, Pat, but he's mane: the new Act's what bringin him out, bekase he'll make a.s mucli money at oue cornor's quist, after divjdin with. Pain and Kallon, as will pay all espinges. Its thout the Mair will be a candidate also. Troth Pat, you cudent belive him how he'd vote ; he got into a fix ou that score with Osborn. You will see by one of his papers whinh I sind you that he hasent much branes to give away. You'd think that Akeu got ■■the desiu for the ircm lamp boulder iv the Shortlau.d

Chancel from his Worship's corporation. Ii J. bare loim to write by Brandisi I will tell you about the other candidates. Biddy an the childer, an all your ould frinds, are well. I'm expoctin a letter from Mack Hone with instructions how to keep the boys together.

" Yours to death, " YotrwG Baeney."
