Election Notices. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. Gentlemen —i solicit your votes to elect me to the highly honorable position of Mayor, and I base ,my claixns.to your favor upon the ■ following considerations : . I have served yott 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 i 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 1 my,haying been always re-elected by the same constituency, I have so voted and spoken tp>the satisfaction of piy fellow-citizens. So far therefore, .«s ; your',choice of a Mayor depends} upon his -experience in; Municipal duties,;,-! feel .that I have ftrongor .claims •than any other candidate who can come before you. No other member of |he present Corporation has served you beyond four years, and I think it not unfair tp point out that the periods of service of all. other; candidates, tome, would not, if put together, equal 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 m a ke but onp remavk—it is this-If the citizens elefct 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 J_if they .reject our claims, and confer the place of honour of ouf Corporation upon a gentleman who drops down from another sphere to take what our exertions have made an honourable and desirable office, then the citizens will not only have put a very great slight upon the whole body of tbe present Corporation, but they will have sorely discouraged all other respectable persons from henceforth devoting their time as Councillors to the Eieryide., of Dunedin. Every Councillor is, in my opinion, fairly entitled to the hoqor and dignity of the M ayoralty, when, by, long service and satisfactory representation of hjis 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, Your obedient Servant, JOHN GRIFFEN. Manor Place, l3th June, 1870. ' . TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. /"i ENTLEMEN,—-l beg to. intimate that :\DT lam a Candidate for.the,position of Mayor of the City at the forthcoming Election. I have simply to say that during the 'time I have had the honor to serve you. as a Councillor, I,have used my best exertions in your interest. Tue large amount of support accorded me at the last Ejection justifies me, L. tlpuk, in seeking yonr suffrages on the ; .present occasion, ' If you honor me by elect-ng me Mayor for the ensuing, twelve mouths, it will be my anxious endeavor to discharge the important .duties of the office in such a manner as will reflect no discredit on you, I shall take an early opportunity of addressing you in. all parts of the City, in order to give you my view on municipal politics generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, , ; ‘; ' H. S. FISH, June.
