Yours, faithfully, 2732 ACTON ADAMS. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF NELSON. GENTLEMEN,-4[beg to solicit your Votes as a" Candidate for representing the Gity of Nelson in the next Provincial Council. I ani the more emboldened to claim your support because I have' willingly undertaken the numerous honorary offices you have requested me to fill during the past twenty years, and, as I hope, generally to your satisfaction. As I hold opinions somewhat opposed to the traditional ideas of our Provincial Government, . 1 sepk a, seat in, the Council to enforce, if possible^ on bur /futures uperintendent and Executive, the necessity of their initiating Public Works and. opening up the country, and not limiting the functions of Government, as hitherto, to mere administration. The past four years have been so trying and depressing to the bulk of the inhabitants of the Province, that a considerable number of our population have emigrated to other places, the cause of this depression and exodus I attribute in a great measure to the supineness of the governing body in not providing work for our then surplus labor, and thus retaining our laborers until they settled down to some remunerative employment. -Tor- .this, .mistaken -policy^^we.shan^now be compelled to pay a heavy price ia introducing' people to supplytthe labor tbat,will soon be required in developing our coal, iron, and other 'treasures. -" ''"•- ■'•- aS-.J.5!..
