By Telegraph,—Frets Association. — Copyright. London, January 10.
Sir Christopher Furness, the Liberal candidate for the York City seat rendered vacant by Sir Frank Lockwood's death, has replied to the violent manifesto issued against him by Mr John Burns, M.P., in reference to the engineers’ lock-opt. Sir Christopher intimates that he is personally favourable to concessions being made by the employers to the engineers. However, he declines to become a blackleg in order to win an election. He states that Mrßurns’attack has rendered it impossible for him to retire from the Employers* Federation whilst the York election is in progress. •
