TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN— I solicit your votes to elect me to the highly honorable position of Mayor, and 1 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 bega* the formation of our streets and pavements: and next in the Corporation, where I stflt 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 rc-elocted 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 I have stronger claims than any other candidate who con 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 ail other candidates, yet known to me, wonld 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 make but one remark—it is this—lf ths 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 npon a gentleman who drops down from another sphere to take what our exertions have made au honourable aud desirable office, then the citizens will not only have puc a very great slight upon the whole Iwdy of tho present Corporation, but they will have sorely discouragcd 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, bv long service aud satisfactory representation of his constituents, ho has earned the position. Your election of Mr Reynolds would nrove 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, 13th 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 Elec* tion. 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. Tne large amount of support accorded me at the last Election justifies me, 1 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 as early opportunity of addressing you in all parts of the City, in order to give you ay view on municipal politics generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, H. S. FISH, Jrers. WILKINSON FOR MAYOR, TO THE RATEPAYERS OF DUNEDIN, GENTLEMEN— Having been requested to offer myself as a candidate for the Mayoralty, I gladly come forward, and fm doing bo, have to appeal to tho Electors of Dunedin to uphold the principle of electing their Chief Magistrate from amongst the members of the' City Council. 1 have bean a resident in your City during tho last tea years, during which time it has always been my earnest desire and endeavor to servo my follow-townsmen in an honest aud straightforward manner; and if I should be elected
