TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN, —Having, since my return to town this evening, learned with great regret that a vacancy has occurred iu the representation of the City in the Provincial Council, through the resignation of Mr E. B. Cargill, I beg most respectfully to offer myself as a candidate for the vacant seat. I shall take an early opportunity of meeting you to explain my views on Provincial politics, and trust they will be found to accord so well with your own, as to induce you to honor me with your confidence. It may be thought by some that the duties pertaining to the office of Mayor will prevent me devoting the necessary time to performing those of a Provincial Councillor. Should there be any force in this, which I do not think there is, I may remark that my present term of office expires in four months; and it is not my intention, under any circumstances, to contest the next election. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, H. S. FISH, Jim. Dunedin, March 15. TO THE ELECTORS OF DUNEDIN.

PROSSER. TO EVAN PROSSER, Esq. SIR,— A vacancy having occurred in the representation of Dunedin in the Provincial Council, by Mr Cargill’s resignation, we would respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a candidate for the vacant seat.

We are. Yours faithfully, [Here follow the signatures.] Dunedin, March 18, 1873. GENTLEMEN, —I feel that the numerously and influentially-signed requisition which you have done me the honor to present, warrants me in placing my services at your disposal. I have, therefore, much pleasure in complying with your request. Should the Electors of the City return me as the successful candidate, I promise to make their interests my particular study, while I shall endeavor to justify the confidence reposed in me, by doing all that in mo lies for the general good of the Province. I shall take an early opportunity of explaining my views on the various matters coming within the scope of Provincial politics, Meantime, I respectfully recpicst that those of the Electors to whom I am personally unknown will refrain from pledging their votes to other candidates. ° I beg to subscribe myself, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, E. PROSSER. March 19, IS7A TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. ('GENTLEMEN, —Some of the friends of 7T my opponents, 1 am given to understand, are circulating a report that 1 purpose resigning iu favor of Mr Prosser. I now beg to state that such is false. I shall go to the poll without fail, I respect Mr Prosser, but his political views are opposed to mine ; of the other candidate’s present views I know nothing, but report says he is a convert from the Reidite and Clodocracy policy to that of the party of progress, to which party I have always given my consistent support.
