TO THE ELECTORS o* WELLINGTON, CITY. ' I /CERTAIN statements having appe*redijfc v^ a section of the press, tho Wellington Citizens' _ League deems it advisable to state again its reasons for giving its su» port to MR. JOHN SMITH. ' HIS 27 YEARS' SERVICE AS A COUNCILLOR ontitleu him to the 1 office which as Acting-Mayor he has bo ably filled on 1 several occasions ; and for several month* past, during Mr. Wilford's absence through illness, he hns occupied the position with marked ability. HIS CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF THE CITY'S AFFAIRS, and his un->' biased conduct of the Strike negotia* twns, have' shown that ho is competent to rulo in difficult situations, and well fitted to represent nil clauses of tho community with impartiality. MR. SMITH IS NOT A POLITICIAN, and i 8 ,not interested in the Parliamentary votes of the City electors, hence is free from all suspicion of acting «o as to secure the lavours of any particular claai or party. MR. SMITH'S LONG ACQUAINT. ANCE WITH THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR CITY peculifrly (it him for canning out' a progressive and cautious policy. MR. SMITH desires to ccc tho City keep within its present income, and IS OPPOSED TO ANY INCREASE' Off, MR. SMITH generously offered not to D6nte«t the Mayoralty against Mr. J G VV. Aitken or Councillor Shirteliffe should either of theso gentlemen announce then), solves as Candidates. Both those gentlemen, owing to private reasons, detelinod nomination, ; and the League unanimously decided to- support Mr. Smith for the position. These ruaadnw the League commends to the Citizens; feeling t confident that they will endorse their action and vote for one who has givoft bo' ungrudgingly and . unostentatiously so largd a portion of his life to their interest*.
