TO THE ELECTOES OP THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. rj ENTLEMEN,—I have the honor to offer V-J myself as a Candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council as one of your representatives. Having been a colonist here from the earliest days of the settlement, and .having discharged the duties of Emigration Agent for a period of two years in England, I am personally known to nearly all of you. In the hope that my conduct in these two capacities has been such as to render me worthy of your confidence, I have been induced to come forward on the present occasion, and now venture to solicit the honor of your support. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, E. J. S. HAEMAN. TO THE ELECTOES OF THE AVON DISTRICT. HAVING- represented the Christchurch Country District in the Provincial Council from the first election of that body, I now offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the next Council, as I feel that I am more peculiarly connected with the electors of the Avon Dis : trict than with any other portion of my former constituency. In_requesting your support upon the present occasion, I can only say that, should you do me the honor to elect me, I shall, as I have hitherto dope, endeavour to promote the interests of this district as well as of the Province at large. My public conduct will be influenced now as formerly by a conviction that the duties of a ! Member of the Provincial Council consist in promoting practical improvements rather than in discussing political theories. I may refer to the discharge of my duties as Speaker of the late Council as a guarantee for due attention to the business which may be entrusted to me as your representative.
