TO THE 1 LECTORS OF KANISRI. i^i ENTLEMKN,--Ihave been repeatedly asked during the past week to come forward as a Candidate for your district in the County Council, and, having heard that a good local man was likely to advance his claims, I as often declined to advance any I might have. The request to represent you has been urged upon me on grounds I think so forcible that I have determined to test the opinions of the electors. I am no stranger to you, having resided some years in your immediate district. Should you think fit to send me to the Council as your representative, I shall bring some experience and grertt earnestness to the duty devolving upon me. I am, Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, 4345 SAMUEL M. SOUTH. ' W . 11 . BENN ET T , T>RICKLAYER AND CHIMNEY SWEEP.
