JAMES PERRIN, and the Gentlemen signing the requisition. Gentlemen — I have much pleasure in acceding to your request, that I will allow myself to be nominated as a candidatefor the representation of your district. I am so well known to you all, that it is not necessary that I should now enter at length into my political opinions ; but there is one subject on which it is right that I should express a distinct opinion. I wish, therefore, to state that I am entirely opposed to any alteration in the price of our Waste Lands, believing that the scheme proposed by Mr. Travers would be equally unfair to the large runholder and the small freeholder, and, if carried out,' would be 1 ruinous to the general prosperity of the province. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, > JAMES WYLDE. Egglesfield, Feb. 9, 1866. c 325 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. i r p ENTLEMEN,—As several Candidates vX are presenting themselves for your suffrages at the approaching dissolution of the Provincial Council, I have the honour to acquaint you that I purpose offering myself for re-election as one of your representatives. ' I have had the honour to hold a seat in the Council since its enlargement in 1855, and may, without much egotism, ask you to judge of my qualifications for the trust I seek at your hands by my past career. Op- ' portunities will doubtless be afforded to the ' Candidates to explain their sentiments more fully than is usual in an address of this 1 nature when I shall have the pleasure of 5 meeting you.

I shall endeavour to call upon you indi--4 vidually, if possible; but, as this is neces- [ sarilyawork of time, and time is our most valuable commodity,, I trust you will at least 1 do me the favour to retain in your minds a ' recollection of the past as an inducement to withhold the pledge of your votes to my dis- [ advantage. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. OLLIYIER. . 824 C r — 1 TO THE ELECTORS or THE 1 fc SOUTH SEFTON DISTRICT. - j : p ENTLEMEN,—I beg to offer myself as VJ a candidate for your suffrages at the i approaching election for the Provincial I Council. it • ' I shall take an early opportunity of meetE ing you in public, in order to inform you of J my views on the most important questions of > Provincial politics. | I remain, | Gentlemen, > Your obedient servant, ' 388 W.
