GENTLEMEN, —I thank you . for the honour you have conferred upon me by asking me for the third time, to represent your interests in the Provincial Council. I have much pleasure in acceding to your request. My long acquaintance with you renders it unnecessary for me to enter at length upon my -political opinions. I am, however, distinctly averse to any alterations in the land regulations; and will, as far as lies in my power, advocate the interests of your district. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, R. H. RHODES. Lyttelton, Feb. 21, 1866. c 568 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTH SEFTON DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself a 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 j OF THE PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. p 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 Can- i ditate 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 5 shall ask you for a renewal of the confidence J you have reposed in me for now nearly four years, and before the ' J day of Nomination shall endeavour personally to wait on you, and solicit your votes and interest. g Pledging myself, if re-elected, to use, as I ® have hitherto endeavoured to do, my best exertions for the interestrof the city, I am, Gentlemen, £ Your obedient servant, 334 c JAS.
