ELECTION NOTICES. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TAIERI. GENTLEMEN, -I have t'e honor to state that I am a Candidate for your suffrages at the approaching Election of Representatives for your district in the Provincial Council. Ih* kind rec< p>ion I have received from a large number of gentlemen amongst you, and the promises of support they have given me, lead me to hope that my candidature may also be received favorably in those parts of your large district which I have not yet personally visited. I shall take the first possible opportunities of holding meetings throughout the Electoral District, in order personally to satisfy you aa to the opinions I hold on all points of public policy at present before the country. It will be readily understood that when I undertook to contest an election against your late representatives, who have all announced themselves as Candidates for re-election, I did so on public grounds alone. In the late Council a ve y large number of you were virtually unrepresented. Further, your late representatives have joined in taking a course in the Council which is condemned by a large majority of your fellow electors throughout the Province, and, as I believe, by a decided majority amongst yourselves, including a great number of those who supported them at the last election, I now ask you to return me to the Council in place of one of them. Those who hare been throughout opposed to your late representatives will, I trust, unite as one man to carry my election. Those who have hitherto supported them have now to consider whether they are justified in allowing old friendships, and the respect they accord to those gentlemen as individuals, to prevent them from recording at the polls their disapprobation of the course they have recently chosen to follow in the Council. I appeal to you, gentlemen, to let no personal considerations sway your votes. It is not credible that the people of the Taieri can have any interests which should bind them to views on questions of public policy, different from those which come naturally to their fellow settlers in other parts of the Province. But unless such is the case, you cauuot consistently send your late representatives back to the Council. I trust to be able to satisfy you that your local interests will be not less actively cared for if yon return me as one of your representatives than they could be by the oldest resisiclent amongst you ; and that if, as I now write you, you abandon your old neighbors in order to vindicate your political principles by voting for me,) ou will have at the same time chosen an advocate of all your special interests, who will yield to no one in the Council in his earnostne-s and persistence in the service of his constituency. I am. Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. S. WEBB. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN.

GENTLEMEN— It is my intention to offer myself as a Candidate to represent you in the next Provincial Council. I will take the earliest opportunity of addressing you on the various subjects of public importance which are likely to engage the attention of the new Council. Yours obediently, GIBSON K. TCRTON. TO THE ELECTORS OF BLUESKIN DISTRICT. I INTEND to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the ensuing Election for Provincial Councillors, and will take an early opportunity of addressing you at the principal centres, of which due notice will be given. , HENRY HOWORTH. TO THE ELECTOR, 5 ? OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN,— I am a candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council as one of your representatives. As a member of the City Council I am known to most of you, and if you approve of my conduct in connection with the largest Municipality in New Zealand, then I venture to solicit a further extension of your confidence; and should I be elected, as I hope to be, my bevt efforts will be directed towards the promotion and advancement of the City and the Province generally. The exhaustive, able, practical, and busi-ness-like Address of bis Honor the Superintendent (and which, I apprehend, will in substance be delivered at the ensuing meeting of Council), I most heartily concur in, and, if elected, will give my most determined support to. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HEN If Y J. WALTER.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN —I have the honor to intimate that I am again a candidate to represent you in the next Provincial Council. If it is your pleasure to re-elect me, I have to assure you that it will be my constant endeavor faithfully to fulfil the duties devolving upon me as your representative. Other public duties require my presence in Wellington ; I trust, therefore, that you will excuse my not addressing you again in person before the election. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM H. REYNOLDS. TO THIS ELECTORS OF THE KAIKORAI DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN, —Having been requested by a large number of my fellow settlers, it is my intention to offer myself for re-election as your Representative in the Provincial Council, Should you do me the honor of again returning me, you will always find me supporting those liberal and progressive mea surea which I consider are for the good of the District and the Province in general. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM BARR. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE KAIKORAI DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,— At the request of several influential electors, I have decided to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the ensuing election of members for the Provincial Council. 1 shall take an early opportunity of meeting and addressing you.
