TO ELECTOES AND NON-ELEC TOES OF THAMES. /SeNTLEMEN,—In the event of Gtbokdt \X Gbbt electing to offer himself for reelection, for this district, I beg to offer myself as an Opposition Candidate, for I hate a " walk over," and the Opposition have lost all faith in Billy, from the.awkward manner he schemed , lately, and the olumsey way in which he rowed himself over the Piako Swamp; and as I have an ambition to get into the Souse, so that I can better my po»ition in life and throw, a crumb occasionally to those of my supporters—but detest crawling in on Geordy'a coat tails—l, theiefore, oome fair and square; as an Oppositionist and solicit your support. • I will vote for the completion of your Railway, but will, with Sir the Fox, acquire all lands of any value within ten miles of the said line for our mutual benefit, and thus create ourselves into your landed aristocracy without further delay. I will reduce the franchise to those of my. own supporters; I will vote for an extension of Parliaments from five to ten years, so that I can make sure of my seat for that term ; I will adjust the Representation Bill, so that you will have but one Member—and that myself—instead of two, as heretofore ; and many other reforms will I promise—in fact, anything and everything you r like to ask, in order that I may obtain the seat, and put Grey to the right about with his nonsense about the sovereign 'rights of the people. I may state that I have this day received a telegram from: Sir Reynard stating that the Opposition will place 6,000 yellow Geordies to my credit at the "Corner " as soon as I am fairly in the field, to distribute utuong my supporters, and to carry on the war to make my nomination and election euro. I hope these my liberal views will meet with a like return. In conclusion, I would like to accomplish two objects at once, and by combining duty and business kill the Fox and the Billy at one shot; or, in other words, to notify to all and sundry that I do all manner of carpenter and joiner work on the shortest notice, at the highest possible price consistent with a renewal of favors. I am, yours candidly, Jambs McAndbbw, Carpenter, Builder, &c. Eyre street, Thames, August 18,1879. . l 89S Notices miBES, SHRUBS, SEEDS. J.
