TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SELWYN DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of your district in the General Assembly as a general supporter of the policy initiated by the party of which Mr. Weld was the head. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 344 E. C. J. STEVENS. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. GENTLEMEN,— The Provincial Council having as yet been only prorogued, I had not intended declaring myself as a Canditate for re-election, until a dissolution had been formally proclaimed ; but finding from the newspapers that several gentlemen are soliciting the honour of representing you in the next Council, I beg to inform you that I shall ask you for a renewal of the confidence you have reposed in me for now nearly four years, and before the day of Nomination shall endeavour personally to wait on you, and solicit your votes and interest. Pledging myself, if re-elected, to use, as I have hitherto endeavoured to do, my best exertions for the interests of the city, I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 334 c JAS. G. HAWKE3. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE AVON . DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,— I have the honour to solicit your votes and interest to elect me your Representative in the General Assembly of New Zealand. I am told 1 am late in presenting myself before you. My explanation is this—l have been watching with considerable interest the expressed opinions and the chances of success of the two candidates already in the field; and it has been represented to me by those well acquainted with your district, that the great bulk of the electors are not prepared to support either of those gentlemen; and that if Mr. Ward should be returned, as it appears most likely will be the case, the Avon district will be represented by a member whose political opinions are entirely opposed to those of the great majority of his constituents. I have therefore been induced to offer you my services as one whom you have known as a man of business,who is likely fairly to consider present position of the finances of the colony, and who will make himself so well acquainted with them as to be able to decide what line of conduct should be pursued with regard to them. I believe lam capable of that application, and am willing to devote myself to their study. I am averse to Separation, believing that there is no necessity to adopt a course so damaging to the best interests of the colony. In other repects I am a firm supporter of the policy enunciated by Mr. Weld, and will do my best to see it carried out. I ask you, therefore, to return me your member, and leave me with an amount of , independence to act acceding to the bust of [ my judgment; and I shall be prepared at the i expiration of each session to lay before you a . full report of the pfjceedings of the [ Assembly, and of the part I have taken , therein. , I hope to be able to call upon each of you i personally between this and the day of nomii nation; but should the shortness of the timi prevent my doing so in every case, I trust J ■ .may still have the honour of your support al ' the election. | am, Gentlemen, Yo wost obedient servant, i 270 c C.
