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 ; I 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 stall continue to assist in promoting your health and convenience. During these eight years, I have voted and spoken upon every important question, .and, if I may judge from my having been always re-elected by the same constituency, I 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, I feel that 1 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, equal my eight years. In point of mercantile standing and credit in this city, I also claim to be entitled to tcek the honour 1 look forward to. As to the candidature of Mr Reynolds. ) will make but ouc remark—it is fbiß- Jf the citizens elect him, passing over the claims of those who have hitherto gratuitously worked hard to make this town the beat paved, lighted, and drained m New Zealand, and the most worthy of being called a city —if they reject our claims, and coufer 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 great slight upon the whole body of ithe present Corporation, hut 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 constituent*, he has earned the position. Yenr election of Mr Reynolds would wove that the crtiaoßS arc unmindful of such just claims. I shall have the honour to address my fellow citizens at several places and cm several occasions, between this date and the day of election. I am. Gentleman, Your obedient Servant, JOHN GRIFFEN. Manor Place, 13th June, 1870. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN,— I beg to intimate that I am a Candidate tor the position of Mayor of the City at the forthcoming Election. 1 have simply to say that during the time I have had the honor to serve yon as a Councillor, I have used my beat exertions in your interest. 'l’ne large amount of support accorded mo at the last Flection justifies me, 1 think, in seeking your suffrages on the present occasion. If you honor me by electing me Mayor lor the ensuing twelve months, it will b« my anxious endeavor to discharge the important duties of the office in such a manner as will reflect no discredit on you. I shall toko an early opportunity of addressing you in aU parts of the City, in order to give you my view on municipal polities generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, H. S. FISH, Jran.
