Election Notices. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. Gentlemen —1 solicit your votes to elect me to tile highly honorable position of Mayor, and I base my claims to yonr favor upon the following considerations : 1 have served you as a Municipal Councillor without intermission for eight years — first in the old Town Board, when it began the formation of our streets and pavements; and next in the Corporation, where I still continue to assist in promoting your health and convenience. During these eight years, I have voted and spoken upon every important question, and, if 1 may judge from my having been always re-elected by the same constituency, 1 have so voted and spoken to the satisfaction of my fellow-citizens. So far therefore, as your choice of a Mayor depends upon his experience in Municipal duties, 1 feel that I have stronger claims than any other candidate who can come before you. No other member of the present Corporation has served you beyond four years, and I think it not unfair to point out that the periods of service of all other candidates, yet known to me, would not, if put together, e<jmal my eight years. In point of mercantile standing and credit in this city, I also claim to be entitled to seek the honour I look forward to. As to the candidature of Mr Reynolds, I will make but one remark—it is this-If the citizens elect him, passing over the claims of those who have hitherto gratuitously worked hard to make this town the best paved, lighted, and drained in New Zealand, and the most worthy of being called a city —if they reject our claims, and confer the place of honour of our Corporation upon a gentleman who drops down from another sphere to take what our exertions have made an honourable aud desirable office, then the citizens will not only have pub a very great slight upon the whole body of the present Corporation, but they will have sorely discouraged all other respectable persons from henceforth devoting their time as Councfllors to the service of. Dunedin. Every Councillor is, in my opinion, fairly entitled to the honor and dignity of the Mayoralty, when, by long service and satisfactory representation of his constituents, he has earned the position. Your election of Mr Reynolds would prove that the citizens are unmindful of such just claims. I shall have the honour to address my fellow citizens at several places and on several occasions, between this date and the day of election. I am, Gentleman, rfl M. WILKINSON begs to inform his JL • friends and fellow-citizens that it is his entention to come forward for the office of Mayor, and respectfully solicits their support and interest, June 16Ui. HEAP PR IN TING, Your obedient Servant, JOHN GRIFFEN. Manor Place, 13th June, 1870. MAYORALTY. Billheads, Pamphlets, 4c. “ EVENING STAR ; OFFICE.
