Election Notices TO THE ELECTORS OP CANTERBURY. Gentlemen,— Somo supporters of Mr. Lnnce are spreading a report through the country that I am connected with him in the coming Election. I beg to say that I OPPOSE MR. LANCE AS STRONGLY AS I DO MR. MOORHOUSE, And should look upon his Election as a misfortune to the Province. This is a sorry "dodge," intended to injure me, as Mr. Lance well knows that my support is strong enough to place me at the head of the poll. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, W. T. L. TRAVERS. Christchurch, May 17, 1866. 528 c TO THE ELECTORS OP IHI TOWN OF LYTTELTON. p ENTLEMEN,—At the request of several influential fellow-townsmen I am persuaded to offer myself a candidate as one of your members for the Provincial Council, the elections for which will shortly take place. Having hitherto kept apart from politics, I have no particular scheme that may have been laid before the public which I can advise you as to my adherence, but can only assure you that, in the event of my being elected as one of the members to represent your interests, I will endeavour to support all measures that may calculate to be most beneficial to the province generally and Lyttelton in particular, And remain, YoUr obedient servant, BEVERLY BUCHANAN. Lyttelton, March 22, 1866. e 60 TO THE ELECTORS OF 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 thosejalready in the colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 64 c A. HORNBROOK

GENTLEMEN.— -The time is approaching when you will be called upon to elect four members, to represent your interests in the Provincial Council of this Province; 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. Ido 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 pririlege of seeking your suffrages for a seat on this occasion. Should Ibe 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, A. HARGREAVES. London street, 1 March, 1866. 66 c
