WM. RAE. E. MASTERS, rpo THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF GREYMOUTH. • Gentlemen — A drowning man is disappointed when he cannot obtain his desires ; but dying -without a struggle, I must still struggle to live, And considering my colleagues have turned tail, and adopted such an exclusive, such a political, such an attractive combination, so as to exclude the bare possibility of successful competition, especially when aided by such Field Practice, sway'd by such "Whippers-in" —the wonder is I received at your hands such a proof of your confidence. Be assured my gratitude is due not only to my supporters, but also to my opponents, whose discernment is alike worthy tho respect and esteem of the first and only, as yet, ex-Councillor of Groymouth. P. MAGOFFIN. '
