TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST DISTRICT. ENTLEMEN, — Reports having been industriously circulated throughout the Electorate to the effect that I shall retire from the contest, and not go to the Poll, I wish publicly and emphatically to deny such statements, which are purely political canards floated by my opponents to prejudice my election. In evidence of my consistency, I beg to republish, for your information, an advertisement which appeared in both local papers, in A ugust 1879, setting forth the grounds of my retirement, as follows : — Z2J.ENTLEMEN, — WFen I came forward as a candidate to represent your interests in the New Parliament, 1 did so upon the understanding that one candidate should be chosen from among those who might come into the field. lat once expressed my willingness to abide by public opinion, and to retire in favor of any candidate to whom you might give the preference, or if your choice fell upon me, to sink all private interests, and do my utmost for the public weal. I now find that all the candidates will go to the Poll. Under these circumstances, in order to strengthen your chances of returning a local candidate, I think it my duty to make a sacrifice, and retire from the contest. 1 feel from the many assurances of support I have received from all parts of the Electorate, that my return to Parliament amounted to something more than a probability. In retiring from my candidature, I desire that you will accept my sincere thanks for the support promised me, and I trust that when Cook County becomes a separate electorate, I shall find you favorably responding to my earnest desire to represent your interests in the General Assembly. I also beg to quote the following, from a leading article in the Poverty Bay Herald of Aug. 25th, 1879
