TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY. f^ ENTLEMEN, The dissolution of \3f the Provincial Council will shortly occasion a vacancy in the office of Superintendent ■of this province. Mr. Fitz Gerald has declared that it is not his intention to present himself -for re-election. Under these circumstances, I have, after mature consideration, determined to offer myself as a candidate for the forthcoming election. From every gentleman seeking so high an office you will doubtless expect to hear an outline of his political opinions. I will claim your indulgence while I endeavour, very briefly, to state my views respecting such matters as are most prominently interesting to the public,of this province. , Before doing so, I would ask you to believe that in soliciting your suffrages I am animated by a sincere desire to be instrumental in securing the welfare and progress of the province; and that personal ambition is not the only incentive to the course I have decided on adoptI am not altogether a stranger to the majority of your number, and am happy in believing ■that my personal relations with this majority are such as to justify a strong hope of success in my present proposal.

I am among the number of those who
