TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON J ADIES and GENTLEMEN,— I J Let me be the first to congratulate Mr. Aitken on his great victory. Let me be the fiist to congratulate the Mayor of this city upon the tremendous victory that he has succeeded in winning against a redoubtable opponent. The very worst opponent of myself, or the very greatest friend of my opponent, must admit that the other side have been hard at work to-day, and I congratulate my opponent's supporters upon the excellent result achiev ed I am sure that if I have done nothing more, I have awakened an intense interest in municipal affairs That is proved by the tiemendous gathering here to-night. I trust that you here present will take a keen interest in the next election, because, let me tell you, you know as well as I do that a licking is not the snap of a finger to me. Why, I have been licked before, and I can be licked again, and still keep coming. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank those 2732 electors who considered me worthy to represent them as Mayor of this city I thank those 2732 electors, because I must say that there can be no greater compliment to a young man of thirty years of age than these 2732 votes. Ladies and gentlemen, I have been beaten — beaten thoroughly, straightforwardly, and honestly, hut it is not for all timo I w ill come again, and I guarantee that I will come three of four tnne.s, and that you who are fhoonng the other side will cheer me by and by. I have got my time in front of me — manj years ,>et — and I think, perhaps, that, at the end of four or five trials you will see that there is necessity for a change. In the meantime, do not let me suggest for a moment that you have done wrong, or that your choice i% not a capital one, and a good one, and I call for three cheers for the present Mayor ' T. M. WILFORD. Wellington, April 24, 1901.
