Zustand: Fine. Octavo, 4 pages (a bifolium) on the crested notepaper of Parliament House, Melbourne, in the original envelope marked 'Personal' and addressed in Deakin's hand to 'The Honourable Sir J. Langdon Bonython C.M.G., Carclew, Adelaide' (contemporary Melbourne postmark; stamp removed). Letter folded in half for posting; apart from a couple of ink blotches, in fine condition; envelope with flap detached, and with some pencilling on the verso. Deakin was sworn in as Prime Minister on 2 June 1909 after being elected leader of the Liberal Party, which had recently formed from the 'Fusion' of his Protectionist Party with the Anti-Socialist Party. Sir Langdon Bonython, a fellow Protectionist, had sat with Deakin in the inaugural Parliament of Australia (as a member for the Division of South Australia, later for the Division of Barker). In this letter, Deakin reflects on the difficulties confronted by his new government (including preselections in South Australia), but is generally optimistic about its progress. However, his government would soon suffer a resounding defeat at the hands of Andrew Fisher's Labor Party in the federal election of 13 April 1910. The letter reads in full 'Aug 11.09. My dear Sir Langdon, Cockburn's very interesting description of the prose of our press delegates in England, though possibly a little coloured by his natural disgust at their doctrines, is obviously & substantially true. It defines their attitude of old & new, always the same, as is proper in a party that does not change. He very clearly perceives their policy of playing to both sides & sees when they have obtained encouragement. Your allusion to [the Division of] Wakefield is obscure. I have not been asked to assist & have not assisted in any way in the selection of a candidate. He has been chosen entirely on your side & by your associations. When [Paddy] Glynn got in he found the whole matter so far advanced in making the selection in the constituency that nothing could be done. Up to date I have not been asked to endorse Foster though no doubt we shall have to do so if required. You must be aware of this though you poke fun at me. The time has not yet come for getting into touch with the constituencies. We have not discovered whom we can rely upon or at all events how far. We are making good progress here & in NSW but the other states are still out of hand or rather none have been in order. It is a long task to attempt to get an effective control of Australia. We are gradually getting it within our immediate spheres of influence. But this is written at the table during the debate to which I have to listen with one ear & half my attention. Kind regards. Yours very truly, Alfred Deakin'. Deakin's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' gives some important context to these final months of his political career. 'In May 1909 he agreed to the fusion of anti-socialists, Liberal-Protectionists and Forrest's "corner" group. A bewildered Fisher was curtly dismissed. Close friends still believed in Deakin's integrity, but to many others his actions seemed nothing but a naked grab for power, a base move to regain office at any price by a man who thought he was indispensable. The political confusion produced some of the most dramatic scenes in Federal parliamentary history. Lyne - never a friend of Deakin and now a foe - denounced his former leader as a "Judas", a charge which the vindictive Billy Hughes believed slandered the disciple. Deakin was sworn in for the third and last time as prime minister on 2 June 1909. The Fusion government, given its short span of life and the few points of agreement between the uniting parties, was remarkably active . The Fusion government entered the election of April 1910 confident of victory, but in the event it was routed. In a heavy poll Labor gained absolute majorities in both the House and Senate. Deakin, who campaigned on a mainly negative anti-Labor platform, barely escaped defeat in Ballarat. Only a handful. Signed.
