Being a Native of your City, arid having served iifteen years' apprenticeship in the House of Representatives (four years as a Minister of the Crown), you will.have had ample opportunities of .judging whether my Political Views accord with yours; if they do, and you consider me worthy to Represent you, and do me tho honour to return me as one of your Representatives, you way rest assured upon my safeguard ins your interests in every possible way. and .serving you to the best of my ability.
