Gektlemen,—l have much pleasure in assenting to your wishes that I should allow myself to be placed in nomination for a seat in the next Provincial Council for the Riccarton district. Being one of the oldest settlers in the province, and having a large stake in the Riccarton district, will be in itself a guarantee that I shall do all in my power to promote the advancement of the district as well as the province at large. I shall do myself the pleasure of calling on the electors to explain my views on provincial polititics, and shall from time to time call meetings if I find it desirable. I have the honour to he, Your obedient servant, F. W. DEL AMAIN. February 19, 1866. 694 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. 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. Opportunities will doubtless be afforded to the Candidates to explain their sentiments more fully than is usual in an address of this nature when I shall have the pleasure of meeting 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 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 disadvantage. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. OLLIVIER. 324 c TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,-— As one of the oldest settlers of Canterbury, I cannot help contrasting the present position of the province with the bright prospects it held out for so many years to intending immigrants, and it is with pleasure I respond to the request of so many of you that I should offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the coming election of Provincial Councillors, and hope I may be able, in some measure, to help in bringing about better times. As, happily I have no particular occupation, I shall be enabled to give my whole time to your interests; and I promise returned, to represent you, that I will attend diligently to my duties while the Council is in session, and during the recess, will make myself acquainted with the requirements of the district. Besides meeting you in public, I shall do myself the pleasure of canvassing you personally. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE ALLEN.
