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 claims to your favor upon the following considerations : f have served you as a Municipal Councilor without intermission for eight years—first in the old Town Board, when it began the formation of onr streets and pavements ; Mid next in the Corporation, where I still •ontinuc to assist in promoting your health and convenience. Daring those eight years, I have voted and spoken upon every important question, and, if I may judge from my having been vlways re-elected by tbe same constituency, [ 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 • ban 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, equal my eight years. In point of mercantile standing and credit in this city, I also claim to be entitled to eeek 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 tbe 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 and desirable office, then the citizens will not only have put a very groat 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 Councillors 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. Year election of Mr Reynolds would prove that the citizens are unmindful of such just claims. I shall have the honour to address my follow 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, Utb June, 1870. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN, —I beg to intimate that I am 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. Tnc large, amount of support accorded me at the last Election justifies me, I think, in seeking your suffrages on the present occasion. If you honor me by electing me Mayor for the ensuing twelve months, 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 ray view on municipal politics generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, __ _ H. S.
