Wellington, 16th September, 1881. EDWARD STAFFORD, Esq. SIR — We, the undersigned, electors of the Te Aro Electoral District of the City of Wellington, respectfnlly request that you will allow yourself to bo nominated as a candidate in the forthcoming election for the Parliament of New Zealand, and in the event of your acceding to our request, we pledge ourselves to do our utmost to secure your return. We have the honor to be Your moat obedient servants, M. Quin G. V. Shannon John Plimmer Wm. Mitchell E. Seager A. Barlow W. Barnard R. P. Collins James Mitchell Geo. Leslie j E. B. Haybittle Geo. Dixon J. Fitohett S. Luke, Ben. It. Hannah S. Luke, jun. A. h. Hislop J. D. Scoular W. J. Staff R. Qnee James Lockie W. H. Jones E. W. Petherick C. A. Flyger John Smith, jun. And 156 others. To the Electors signing the above Requisition — Gentlemen — I have received your requisition, and beg to thank you for the honor, while assenting to it. I feel that you are placing in me very groat confidence. You may feel assured that whatever energy or ability I possess I will use for the benefit of this city, and of the colony as a whole. So soon as the Representation Bill becomes law, I will publish an address, in which will be expressed the views I entertain upon the leading political questions of the day. I remain. Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, E. STAFFORD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. f*i ENTLEMEN,— The present Parliament V?T bas practically ended, and it is therefore my duty to return into your hand 3 tho trust with which, in September, 1879, you honoured me as one of your representatives. Whatever may have been my measure of success, I can Bay in all honesty, that while maintaining those principles of which, co far as I am aware, you generally approve, I havo anxiously striven to conserve the rights and promote the interests of my constituents, and I have to thank you most cordially for the uniform sympathy and confidence extended towards me in doing so. The new Representation Acb mars the continuity of Parliamentary union in tho city. Notwithstanding the efforts of my colleague and myself to preserve Wellington as one undivided constituency, with three members, Parliament has been pleased to insist upon splitting it up into three separate electorates. In these circumstances, and seeking still to have the honour of representing at least a portion of the city in which I take so deep an interest, my selection of one of the three electorates becomes necessary. Having my home in Wellington South (which includes mainly Cook Ward and a portion of the Kilbirnie JKoad Board) it seems most fitting that I should aspire to the honour of its representation, and I now venture to do bo. Although thus partially separating myself from numerous friends and supporters in the other electorates, I may be permitted to add that there can bo no movement affecting the welfare of any portion of the citizens of Wellington which will not find in me at all times one of its warmest advocates. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient Bervant, WILLIAM HUTCHISON. TO THE ELECTORS OF WELLINGTON SOUTH. Gentlemen, — For the reasons stated in the preceding address, I turn to yon, as forming an important section of tne Wellington constituenoy, and loso no time in respectfully soliciting yonr suffrages for the honour of representing you in the next Parliament. You know my political opinions so well that I need not state them in a preliminary announcement, but 1 shall take caro to havo the plea&ure of meeting with jou from time to time, and discussing tbe many and important questions which 6hould form tho business of the coming Honse of Representatives. It is my earnest desire to promote the comfort and prosperity of the citizens of V\ ellington, and to co-operate, so far aa I shall bo able, with all those who are strivjng to place New Zealand, as a united oolony, in the van of popular and orderly progress. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM HUTCHISON. 19th Feptember, 1881. THE MAYORAL ELECTION. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON.
