< THE MAYORAL ELECTION. TO THE RATEPAYERS <">F |THE CITY OP WELLINGTON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN -A report having been put in circulation that it ia aot 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 j contesting the said election against all | comers, and therefore respectfully solicit the votes and interest of the ratepayers as a body, particularly those who so faithfnlly supported me on the occasion of the contest between his Worship — the present Mayor — and myself. Yours faithfully, ANDREW YOUNG. mHE ELECTION OF MAYOR. Having been urgently requested to allow myself to be again put in nomination for the Mayoralty, I should be ungrateful for all the kindness and consideration extended to me during the somewhat prolonged period I have had the honor of occupying the civic chair, if, in the present exceptional circumstances' of the city, I did not accede to the request thus made to me, and I have, therefore, to intimate to the Burgesses 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, that it reams unnecessary to enter into any details hßre.h B re. There will, however, be ample opportunities (of which I Bhall avail myself) of conferring with yon, and of affording such explanations as you may desire, between this time and the day ef election, on the last Wednesday in November next. If elected, yon will find me not less anxious than heretofore to be faithful in yo»r service. With warmest thanks, I subscribe myself, &c, WILLIAM HUTCHISON. 2fith September. jgALSALINE.
