LEPTERS Te THE EDITAP,

Letter from Capta n Irving.

Sir,—Senator Carvell is the man who signs himself ‘Fair Play” in a Dany EXAMINER of last week, censuring me for advising the iceboat crews to strike for better pay. Ho says Mr. McElhinney should be allowed a fairtrial. Is there any other man on the Island who would say an inexperienced man should be placed at the head of so important a branch of the public service, and especially a man of Mr. McElhinney’s notoriety, who has bungled in every thing he has ever had to do with ? A nice place to put him to give hima position at the expense of people’s lives, If the man was anything short of a common idiot he would have himself undertake the situation, having so much experience, where life is so much at stake.

In the Patriot of the 7:h inst., in an ar icle signed **Government Man,” he very wisely calls it ‘‘a glaring outrage to appoint an inexperienced person to superintend the winter crossing,”

Mr, Editor, you will now presume ‘Fair Play” is no friend of mine, and as Senator Carvell is the cnly enemy I have on the Island, I judge him to bo the man. You will very naturally ask why Mr. Carvell is an enemy of mine: my reason for saying so is that he, when up at Cape Traverse the other day, was vowing vengeance against myself, declaring he would put me out of the crossing if it cost him five thousand dollars,

Yours truly, A. irvine.

_[Mr. Irving is entirely in errer as to the writer of the letter signed ‘‘Fair Play.”’]
