TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS BULLEIi DISTRICT. IN commg before this constituency for re-election as Superintendent of the Clothing Trade for the ensuing term, it may be more fitting to point out the policy proposed to be pursued in future, rather than indulge in recapitulating those schemes which have been introduced during the past six years, and which have so often afforded opportunities for mutual congratulaSPECIAL LEGISLATION. By some it is advocated that a decided-opinion should be expressed on the Local Works Belay Act, 1873, by any aspirant to this important office, but as this Act is now generally looked upon as a purely " tentative measure," your interests may be best conserved 'by still adhering to the 'standard yard when piece goods require distribution, and thus good measures can at all times he easily insnred. IMPORTANT ELEMENT. A special knowledge of local requirements is an important element in the qualification of a Chief Administrator, and this accomplishment is not intuitive, bnt is attained in the ordinary nature of things by close application «nd lengthened experience. •AN OMEN. As coming events cast their shadows before, it may be fairly counted on that a 'Candidate who has always secured the best class of goods, will, in the interests of the people, and in his own interest, continue to import such superior manufactures as are the ■Geelong Tweeds, and introduce such novelties as the prospective development of the great resources of the district will justify. EXECUTIVE CHARACTER OF THE OFFICE. A wide difference exists between the office of a legislator and that of an administrator; and recognising the important principle involved, no undue interference will bo made when buyers insist on purchasing a low priced article, believing it to be cheap ; but on the other hand the right will be reserved, when advice is asked as to Le relative merits of goods differing in quality and price, to give such -counsel as will redound to the credit of the position. COAL-FIELDS. Should the Council see fit to vote a handsome sum of money by way of subsidy to the company who will place in the market the first ten thousand tons of coal from your local mines, it would afford me unalloyed pleasure to see the money handed over so soon as available, and to supply the miners with all the clothing they might require for a period of not less than one year, at greatly reduced rates. IMPORTANT CHANGES. As nothing conduces more to a sanitary condition than frequent •changes of clothing, the Cost and Quality of a Suit will be so determined as to meet the requirements of all classes, and no one will be allowed to plead the excuse of high prices for not securing a good stock of underclothing when a shirt can be obtained at "Westport House for halfROB.
