Election Notices. TO R. H. RHODES, ESQUIRE. to be put in nomination for the representation of the Bays District in the next Provincial Council. We are led to make this request, knowing that from your intimate acquaintance with its requirements (as well as those of the province at large), you are eminently fitted to becomo its representative in the Council.

Stewart Alfred Condon Thomas Orr Hay Thomas Kay Joshua Rise George Mason Thomas Ware John Flurty George Sefton Edward William Harriss William Moore W. S. Harris Joseph James Alexander Coffin G.M. Darks Amos Green H. Bennett. Henry Mcintosh Geo. Holmes John Marshall Alexander Macintosh Henry Firmston David D. MacGregor H. Haley • Henry Waghorn David Waghorn Arthur Waghorn, sen. George Boleyn Mark Turner To Mr. G. W. MARSHALL, and the Gentlemen signing the requisition. 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.

TO THE ELECTORS PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. n ENTLEJfEN.-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. HORftB-ROOK.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHUKCH. GENTLEMEN,-The Provincial Council haying as yet been only prorogued, I ditate for re-election, until a dissolution had been formally proclaimed; but finding from the newspapers that Beveral 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. HAWKES. T» THE ELECTORS TOWN OF LYTTELTON. ENTLEMEN.-Thc time is approaching when you will be called upon to elect four members, to represent your interests in the Provincial Council of this Province j and I now beg to acquaint you, that I purpose offering myself for re-election for one of the seats at your disposal. It may possibly occur to some of you that the sittings of the General Assembly may clash with those of the Provincial Council, and thus bar my attendance at one, or either of them. I do not, however, anticipate such an occurrence, but in the event of such a contingency arising, I would not hesitate to resign my seat in time to enable you to fill up the vacancy. As an old residentof the Port, whoseinterests are intimately connected with your own in its welfare and advancement, and having already represented you in the Council, I may fairly claim the privilege of seeking your suffrages for a seat on this occasion. Should I be honoured by being selected as one of your representatives, I shall endeavour to merit your confidence by doing my best to protect the rights and privileges of the Town and Port. I hope to have an opportunity of meeting you in public. Meantime remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, E. A. HARGREAVES. London street,?l7th March, 18G6. 1101 c
