As to my political opinions, I can hardly state them in so short a space as an address of this nature must of necessity occupy. *I hope, however, to have the pleasure of meeting you at an early opportunity, when I can state my views on the subject more fully.

TO THE ELECTORS OP THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. rjENTLEMEN,—I beg to announce myself vX as a candidate to represent you in' the Provincial Council. J Having had the honour of a seat in that Council since the extension of its numbers, as ' one of the members for the Christchurch I Country District, I may be permitted to refer you to my services during the whole of that time, as the best testimony to my qualifications • for the office.

Should I have the honor to be re-elected, I promise you that I will endeavour to pursue the same independent course; and that I will to the best of my ability at all times zealously guard your interests. As it is not my intention to make a personal canvass, I beg toTemind you that the nomination is fixed for the sth Novemhei", at Christchurch Quay, and the polling for the day after (the 6th) at the same place, and at Mr. Archer's on the Lower Lincoln Road.
