TO THE BURGESSES OF GREATER WELLINGTON

LADIES and GENTLEMEN, —In again placing nry s>er\ ices, at j our disposal and submitting myself foi election to the honourable position of your representative on the City Council, I would especially request tho&e, my friends, the 1860 electors who voted for me at the last general election of Councillor, to exert their influence in then own circles in my favour, by winch means the above figures could bo \eiy largely increased. I truht that there are also those or the electors who, not knowing me at that time kuffioiently well to prefer me to the then sitting Councillors, who stood for re-election en bloc, will this time, a* tlieie are six vacancies caused by retiring Councillors, honour me with their confidence This being the first election wheie the Burgesses of the late Melrose Boiough will combine to return the full Council of fifteen membeis, I hope to receive a fair measure of support from the citizens of Brooklyn, Island Bay, Kilbirnie, Maranui, and Roseneath and I would re='pectfullv urge mv friends in each of those districts to w-p then utmost endeavours m my favour. I stand as the representative of no party oi class, and, if elected, will always do my best to safeguard Citizens' interests Yours faithfully ALEX J RAND

LADIES and GENTLEMEN —I come before you of my own free will to solicit your interest on my behalf, with a view ot obtaining a seat in the City Council as one of your representatives. I have watched the growth of the City and Suburbs' since my ariival in Wellington in February, 1877 (28 years), and my time has been taken up with my own affaire and the business training of mv two sons, who now relieve me to such an extent that I feel that I am in a position to take a more active part in municipal matters, especially at this unfortunate crisis when the best part of your representatives are clamouring for the Mayoral ohair, thereby disqualifying themselves from a seat at the Council — at any rate at the present election. Ladies and Gentlemen, m the event of my being elected, your interests shall have my best attention. I therefore place myself entirely in your hands, and remain, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM FRASER SHORTT.

TO THE ELECTORS OF GREATER WELLINGTON.

I HAVE been nominated to the office of City Councillor, and if you do me the honour to elect me I will do my best to serve the interests of the City. I firmly believe that if our Tram Service is run on strictly business lines, the ultimate result will necessarily be the reduction of rates. I believe in the municipality controlling Electric Light and Gas Works, which, if conducted in a thorough, practical, and busmess manner, should prove profitable to the City. Ido not believe that the Municipality should embark in the Building of Houses or Tenements. I am, Yours faithfully, THOMAS BALLLNGER.

TO THE BURGESSES OF MIRAMAR

X ~\ J ITH pleasure I consent to the reVV quest that I should become a Candidate for the office of Councillor. Miramar is a rapidly-growing borough, and the confidence I feel in its future is shown by the fact that at present I am spending a large sum of money therein buildings and otjjer improvements. If elected, I shall do my best for the welfare of the burgesses, and see that the money shortly to be raised for certain important works is spent judiciously. I am not a novice in municipal affairs, having been elected on three different occasions at the head of the poll to the Palmerston North Borough Council. H. WOLLERMAN.

TO THE BURGESSES OF GREATER WELLINGTON.

T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— By 1 i request I again offer myself as a Candidate for the City Council at the coming election. I have a thorough knowledge of the whole city and suburbs, its growth, affairs, and management for the past 33 years. This knowledge and my best interests in its advancement will, I can assure you, guarantee my ability to help the steady improvement of Greater Wellington Having no committees, I ask for your vote and assistance at the coming election. I am, yours faithfully, ROBT. H. DAVENPORT.
