SYDNEY JAMBS, Secretory. Election Notices. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN— I solicit year vote* to elect me to the highly honorable position of Mayor, and I base my claims t* 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, wnere 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 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 Mayer depends upon his experience in Municipal duties, I feel that I have stronger claims than any other candidate whs 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 oat that the periods of service of all other candidates, yet known to me, would not, if put together, equal ray 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, 1 will make but one remark—it is this—lf tbn 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, Mid 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 the citizens will not only have pat a slight upon the whole body of the present"* Corporation, but they will have sorely discouraged all other respectable persons from henceforth devoting tneir time as Councillors to the service of Dunedin. Every Councillor is, in ruy opinion, fairly entitled to the honor an 1 dignity of the Mayoralty, when, by long service and satisfactory representation of his constituents, ho 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 fellow citizens at several places and on several occasions, between this date ami the day of election. l am, Gentleman, Your obedient Son ant, 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 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 mo at the last Election justifies me, I think, in socking your suffrages on the present occasion. If you honor me by clccFng mo Mayor for the ensuing twelve m-rntbs, it will be my anxious endeavor to discharge Ibe important duties of Ibo office in such a manner ae will reflect no discredit on you. I shall lake ap early opportunity of addressing you ia all parts of tho City, in order to give yon ay view on municipal politics generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, H. S. FISH, Jm. TO THE CITIZENS OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN— In accordance with my promise, -when I had the honor of addressing you at the Princess Theatre, I now place my services at your disposal. If elected, my aim will be to fulfil the duties of the office with a view to the .advancement of every city interest. W. H. REYNOLDS.
