Election Notices- j t TO THE ELECTORS OP THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. * Nt ENTLEMEN,—I beg to intimate that I intend to present myself as a Candiate, at the ensuing Election, for the honour f representing your interests in the Proincial Council. , I have the honour to be, , J Gentlemen, . i i Your obedient servant, , ,95 c W. WILSON. ! ! I TO THE ELECTORS ] OP THE I CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. ; pt ENTLEMEN,—As several Candidates [ UT are presenting themselves for your : luffrages at the approaching dissolution of be Provincial Council, I have the honour to tcquaint you that I purpose offering myself or 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 nay, without much egotism, ask you to udge of my qualifications for the trust I leek at your hands by my past career. Opjortunities will doubtless be afforded to the Candidates to explain their sentiments more :ully than is usual in an address of this lature when I shall have the pleasure of neeting you. I shall endeavour to call upon you individually, if possible; but, as this is necessarily a work of time, and time is our most valuable commodity, I trust you will at least lome the favour to retain in your minds a recollection of the past as an inducement to withhold the pledge of your votes to my disidvantage. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. OLLIVIER. 524 c TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTH • SEFTON DISTRICT. ENTLEMEN,—I beg to offer myself as T a Candidate to represent you in the Provincial Council. I solicit your votes as an independent elector, that is bound to no political party ; but, if returned as your member, will vote according to the best of my judgment, for the benefit of the district and country. I will endeavour to call on you at an early opportunity. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 440 c JOHN INNES. TO THE ELECTORS 01? THE PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. ri ENTLEMEN,—As a fresh election is about taking place for members of the Provincial Council, and I have had the honour of being one of your Representatives for the last four years, I beg to offer myself for reelection. As the district is a very wide one, and the constituents scattered, it will be next to impossible for me personally to call upon all of you to solicit your votes. As to my policy, I advocate a reduction in the public expenditure in almost all its branches ; I think that no great public works should be undertaken unless we have the funds in hand, or are able to obtain a loan on favourable terms, so as not to be driven to borrow at a ruinous cost. I also think that no more immigrants should be introduced until we have the requisite funds to import and work to give them, without injuring those already in the colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 398 c ' A. HORNBROOK. 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 fur 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. HAWKES. MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE. MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE meets EVKRY MONDAY EVENING, at Seven o'clock, at the General Committee Rooms (You<ighusband'a), Colombo Street. FRANCIS H. VALPY, 9888 c Secretary.
