\ THE MAYORAL ELECTION. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF --THE CITY <.>F WELLINGTON. y ADIES AND GENTLEMKN^A report -fl_J haynf? boon put in circulation that it is not my^intention to contest the coming Mayoral election, I desire to give such report an unqualified contradiction. I now beg to announce my intention of contesting the said election against all comers, and thereforo rerpectfnlly solicit the votes and interest of the ratepayers as a body, particularly those who so faithfully supported me on the occasion of the contest between his Worship— the present Mayor — and mysalf. Yours faithfnlly, ANDREW YOUNG. TO THE BURGESSES OP THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. T ADIFS AND GENTLEMEN,- 1 regret JLJ that my privato business engagements prevented me making known at an earlier date my intention to offer myself a3 a candidate for the office of Mayor, which will shoitly become vacant ; but as there i 3 yet ample time for other candidates to present themselves, and ample time also to discuss their views, p rhapa no special apology is needed on my account. It would, I am sure, be superfluous to remind the citizens of Wellington that I hay* "done the State some Eervice." municipally. That I have my faults I readily admit— the perfect man "is not yet" — but that I have worked earnestly, ani with a whole heart, in tliß endeavour to protect the rights of the citizens and guard tho general welfare, is a point that is conceded to me by my warmest onponents. It is true that to my past action in tho City Council is traceable the fact that T have made many powerful enemies in this city, but that, I take it, is a universal result which was as much the fashion a hundred years ago a3 it is to-day. Indeed, from a book just one hundred years old I take the following sentence :- "Reforming abuses givestrouble, creates ill-blood, and puts coldness between friends, while laissez-faire (the do-nothing policy) conciliates amity, strews roses instead of thorns, and makes the world run Bmoothly." It will be my duty, should I attain to the Mayoral poeition, to endeavor to strike the happy mean between these extremes. Before the election I shall take the opportunity fully to explain my views on municipal affairs. In the meantime I remain, ladies and gentlemen, Your oTrodient servant, ¦ GEORGE FISHER. 26th September. mHE ELECTION OF MAYOR. Having been urgently requested to allow myself to be again put in nomination for tho Mayoralty, I should be ungrateful for all the kindness and consideration extended to me daring the somewhat prolonged period 1 have had the honor of occupying the civic chair, if, in the present exceptional circumstances of the city, I did nob accede to the request thus made to me, and I have, thereforo, to intimate to tho "Rurpe'ses generally that I am once more a candidate for this honorable office. My views on Municipal business, and my character and conduct as Mayor, are so well known to every citizen, tbat it c eema unnecessary to enter into any details h°ro. There will, howevr, bo ample opportunities (of whioh I shall avail myself) of conferring with you, and of affording such explanations as you may desire, between this time and the day of election, on the last Wednesday in November next. If elected, you will find me not les3 anxious than hr-retoforo to ba fnithful in your service. With warme=t thanks, I subscribe myself, &c, WILLIAM HUTCHISON. 26th September. gALS ALINE. £1000 for 10s Tftf ELBOUBNE AND CHRISTCHURCH 1?X NOVELTY COMPANY. 1000 Members at 10s Each. Four Races.
