DEAR S.E, —We, the undersigned Ratepayers of the City of Christchurch, beg very respectfully that you will CONSENT to bo NOMINATED ns a CANDIDATE for the MAYORALTY. Your long residence in Christchurch and neighborhood, the material interest which yon possess in the advancement and welfare of the City, as well as the experience you must have gained of Municipal affairs during your five years of office as Councillor, eminently qualify you for the honorable position which we desire to see you occupy. Should you accede to our request it will be our pleasure to use our best endeavors to secure your return. We beg to subscribe ourselves. Yours very faithfully. And 302 other ratepayers. To Messrs W. R. Mitchell, C. T. Ick, T. Delamare, and the other 359 Ratepayers signing the requisition;— GENTLEMEN, —I hardly know how to express my thanks for the groat compliment yon have paid me in presenting such a large and influentially signed requisition, asking me to allow myself to be NOMINATED for the honorable office of MAYOR of this CITY at the ENSUING ELE CTION. I assure you I was taken quite by surprise. Jt is true, I have been a Citizen of Christchurch twenty-four years, during which time 1 have had the honor of a seat in the City Council five years. This lengthened experience has enabled me to become familiar with the conduct of Municipal affairs, and as I have now retired from business, my time is entirely my own. I shall therefore have great pleasure in accepting your flattering offer ; and, if elected, will make it my duty to place that time and such common sense and business knowledge as I may possess at your disposal. I have the honor to he, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, 9-23 9666 J. G. EDDDBNELAU.
