Election Notices 0 THE ELECTORS OF RANGITIKEI. Gentlemen, — I regret to say that some members of my Central Committee have unwittingly infringed the law by employing paid canvassers on my behalf. Although this was done without my knowledge, and in direct opposition to my wishes, I feel that under the circumstancas there is only one course open to me — to retire at once from the contest. | I have only to express my warmest thanks to those gentlemen who have taken so much trouble in support of my candidature, and my regret that their exertions should have been rendered fruitless by the indiscretion of others. I am, Yours obediently, FRANCIS ARKWRIGHT. Overton, Marton, July 14, 1884. mO THE ELECTORS OF RANGITIKEI.
