when I find that the probability of having to spend five or six months in Wellington every year, and the sacrifice of business and income consequent thereupon, is deterring other and perhaps abler men from offering their services to you, in obedience to the request of a large number of yourselves, I offer mine. I can afford the time, and no business in which I am engaged will suffer from my absence. 1 therefore leave the issue in your hands. If you should do mo the honor to elect me, you may rest assured nothing will be wanting on my part to carry out the duties of your representative in a manner worthy the most important Goldfields district in the Colony. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your Obedient servant, BORTHWIOK 11. BAIRD.
