TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICT OF NAPIEE. "I7ELLOW ELECTORS,— As the time is fast JD approaching when we .will be called upon to elect representatives for our first Council, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for the town of Napier ; having been asked to do 60 by many of you. I do so, believing that I know its resources and requirements as well as any of my fellow settlers having been here from the first formation of this • Township. Ever since, as "Old Colonist," I asked the Wellington Government, about four years ago, through the columns of the "Wellington Spectator," "Jf they forgot Napier belonged to their Province, although destined to be the gem of it,"— l have tried commercially, by writing through the press and otherwise, to advance the best interests of Na* pier and the Province of Hawke. If elected, I will advocate a revision of our Electoral Roll, so that all persons entitled thereto can have a voice in the management of their own affairs. I will advocate the making of our main street, viz., Carlyle Street, at government expense, as I think the public of Napier are as much entitled to have Carlyle Street made as Shakespeare Road. I would vote for Mr. Domett being our first Superintendent, because he is a man of superior talents, thoroughly up to official business, and, from having been our first Crown Land Commissioner and Resident Magistrate, one who knows well our requirements. I will also vote for any measure that may be brought forward which the majority of you may recommend, or that I conscientiously think will be for the advancement of Napier or any other part of the New Province of Hawke, wilhout being swerved by any party or anti- separatist clique. I am, Fellow Electors, Your Obedient Servant, DANIEL MUNN. Napier, Jan. 27, 1859. TO H. S. TIFFED, ESQUIJSE. Napier, Jan. 2-1-, 1859.
