My actions and my opinions are, I think, tolerably well known to you. As regards the Public Reserves, I have always maiutained that Christchurch needed an addition to them, and therefore it may reasonably be assumed that I should on no account advocate the curtailment of the public privileges iu the Domain ; but as this is not a city property the chances of eo absurd a vi dation of public right being committed are of course materially diminished. If you do me the honor to elect me, I shall be found always at the post of duty, and I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor so to shape my conduct as to entitle me to your favorable consideratiou hereafter.
