HOW THE THING WAS WORKED.

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

Sir,—Since I had the honour of sending you my letter re the Dickson-Anderson controversy, I have very carefully gone over the Burgess Roll of 1878-79—1 say carefully, because, being deter mined that no error bhould exist, I went over the Roll a second time—and here is the result :— Number ot burgesses (according to the "Herald") .. .. .. .. 330 Bona fide burgesses on. that list .. .. 220 Balance of non-ratepayers 120 What think you of that, my masters? Remember, sir, in striking th>; balance bjt/\vcc:u truth and fiction, i.e.: between 330 and 220, 1 have been most liberal. Many of the parties who signed tin address to Mr Anderson merely gave tkeir Christian and surname, leaving out their address ' altogether ; consequently, as their names tallied with legitimate ratepayers on the Roll, I gave those signatures the benefit of the doubt, and ticked off the bona fide ones. The treatment Mr Dickson has received for merely doing what he considered his duty to those, who sent him to the Council is a oryim; iniquity. Let some souvenir of a substantial character be promptly in itiated—one that Councillor Dickson (as pains taking and honest a member as ever sat on tha Civic Board) may in a colder portion of these Islands occasionally look at to warm his heart. NdXime s-hould be lost, as he leaves on Tuesday. For Heaven's sake, let not the Southerners say that we rained buffets and kicks on one upright sturdy Councillor as an encouragement to the others,—l am, etc., Oxe Who Kkfused to Sign.
