Positive Farewell on Wednesday, October 18th. THOMAS HETHEKINGTON, 3920 Agent. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. GENTLEMEN. —Another vacancy having occurred in the Provincial Council, by the retirement of Mr. I. T. Cookson, I beg to announce myself as a candidate for the seat, and to solicit your votes and interests in my behalf. I had intended to do so on the occasion of Mr. Brittan's retirement, but did not think it prudent to subject you to the inconvenience of a contested election, unless some reasonable objection had been entertained to the candidate presenting himself to your notice. My ideas on the principal political topics of the day have not changed since I had last the honor to address you. Should you elect me, my votes shall go to the furtherance of railroads to the utmost limits that prudence will allow. I will advocate liberal grants to the Municipal Council of our city as long as they do not interfere with the just requirements of the outlying districts. I will give my most serious attention to the Educational question, but in common with many others I am not prepared to express any decided opinion on so large and so important a subject. I should give my support to any well considered scheme of the Government for the extension of emigration. On general matters I will endeavor to support the Government as far as I conscientiously may, without {jiving blind adherence to any party; and should you do me the honor to return me as your repre-.-entative, it shall be my constant care to faithfully watch your interests. I beg to remain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 3761 JAMES GEO. HAWKFS. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN, —I have been honored with a request from some of your number to come forward as a caudidate for the seat in the Provincial Council lately occupied by Mr. Murray. Should your choice fall upon rae, I shall enter the Council determined to give a well considered and independent vote on all questions. I shall not he tied to the policy of any Government, and shall remain, I hope, unswayed by personal or private considerations. As a resident in your district, and as one whose interests are closely bound up with the welfare and prosperity of the province, I ventuie confidently to solicit your support. I am, gentlemen, Yours respectfully, JOSHUA STRANGE WILLiAMS. Opawa Farm, Oct. 2, 18t52. 3853

Wilson and the other Gentlemen signing the Requisition :— Gentlamenl have great pleasure in complying with a request so thoroughly in keeping with my own wishes, namely to become a candidate for the representation of Christchurch in the Provincial Council.

For a young and untried politician to enter the Provincial Council with your proved and experienced members, is sufficiently difficult, but to repair the lots which you now sustain by the resignation of an old and faithful representative is a portion of' the task I would now assume which I can never hope fully to achieve. Should you, however, return me, I will strive to merit your approval by discharging the duties of your representative faithfully and energetically. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient Rervant, J.
