Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Incidents in the Political Career of the Late Sir John Thompson Not Contained in Mr. J. Castell Hopkins' Book
As to the second count of your able letter, I am, I assure you, perfectly at one with yourself. There are few men for whom I have a greater love and esteem than for Mr. J. S. D. Thompson. In public life he certainly would do honor to himself, and re?ect credit on the Catholics Of the Dominion. There is no county, need I tell you, which I should rather have the honor Of such a representative than our own native county, Antigonish.
The problem to be solved, it seems to me, is not how to have him elected for that county, but how to have him elected without Opposition. A county which at this moment feels itself for the first time emancipated from the political oligarchy Ofa quarter Of a century must be handled with much delicacy. In fact to avoid recurt ence of the bitter political enmities of the past, the lay element must take, or must be convinced that they are taking, the initiative in the matter. Permit me to suggest the scheme by which this can be most easily accomplished.
