ROBINSON, Returning Officer. Blenheim August 31st, 1880._ 281 To the Burgesses of the West Ward. Ladies and gentlemen,I have the honor to. inform you that I am again a CANDIDATE to represent your interests in the West Ward of the Borough of Blenheim. I am, Ladies and Gentleman, Your most obedient servant, IS2 JAMES T. ROBINSON. To the Burgesses of the West Ward. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— jjj At the request of a considerable number of yourselves, I have allowed myself to be nominated for the vacant seat in the Borough Council. I have been resident in the Borough long enough to enable me to see that an alteration in the constitution of the Council, as far at least as this Ward is concerned is a necessity. lam opposed to extremely long terms of office in a representative assembly, as calculated to foster vested interests, which should have no place therein, and set up a clique, whereby the few are directly benefitted, while the important interests of the majority are utterly neglected. lam also opposed to anything having a resemblance to a family compact, log-rolling, or back-stairs influences; and will, if elected, entirely disavow any such proceedings. I think I am too well-known to you, the Electors of this Ward, for you to think that I seek to enter the Council for the furtherance of selfish or political ends; I do it from a sense of duty and with the honest desire to fulfil my duties as a Councillor without fear or favor. In conclusion, I would ask all voters to consider carefully the claims of the two candidates, and then to vote for him who has their confidence. I am, Yours obediently, 254 T. J-r. HUSTWICK.
