GENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the next election of members for the Provincial Council. In so doing I wish to state that I come forward with the view of supporting every movement which will advance the general interests of the province, and those of the tradesmen of Christchurch in particular, which body I consider has not hitherto been fairly represented. If, elected, I should feel it my duty to vote for liberal supplies to be given to the Municipal Coun-* cil for the purpose of carrying on the drainage; street-making, and other improvements of the city. ' • I should also vote for the education grant to be equally divided among all denominations, according to the numbers taught. i I will likewise support every motion which will favour the extension of the railway, and the develop-1 ment of the minerals of the province. I am obliged to those electors who favoured me with their support at the late election of the Municipal Council, and hope again to receive their support. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 1241 HUGH BENNETTS. , TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. r\ ENTLEMEN,—The writ for the election of vJ members for our Provincial Council having, been sent down, I have the honour to request the favour of your support as one of the candidates of your city.

GENTLEMEN, —Having been requested by several influential electors to become a candidate in the forthcoming election, I beg to solicit your suffrages for the purpose of returning me as one of your representatives in the Provincial Council. If elected, I will advocate, as far as my voice and vote can do so, not only that a proper amount be expended as heretofore in public works, but that a fair outlay be made to benefit outlying districts. For the want of a small vote of public money, I have seen the progress of large districts held in check, and as all cannot enjoy the luxury of living on a main road, I deem it to be unjust to deny assistance to those beyond its limits. 1 have no past political course to which I can refer; but after my long residence amongst you, I trust it will not be necessary for me to do more than implicitly to assure you that, should I have the honor of being elected, I will give due attention to the interests of your district, and honestly and independently endeavour to promote the general advancement of the province. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Yours very faithfully, CHARLES CLARK. Halswell Road, March 25,1862. . 1259 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SEFTON * DISTRICT. .
