TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS IiULLER DISTRICT: ■ ~ j -*■ for re-electibh as Superintendent of the Clothing Trade for the ensuing term, it may be more fitting to point out the policy proposed to be pursued in future, rather than indulge ill recapitulating those schemes which have been introduced during the past six years, and which have so often afforded opportunities for mutual eongratula; SPECIAL LEGISLATION. By some it is advocated that a decided opinion should be expressed on the Local Works Delay Act, 1873, by any aspirant to this important office, but as this Act is now generally looked upon as a purely " tentative measure," your interests may be best conserved by still adhering to the standard yard when piece goods require and thus good measures can at all times be easily insured. IMPORTANT ELEMENT. A special knowledge of local requirements is an important element in the qualification of a Chief Administrator, and this accomplishment is not but is attained in the ordinary nature of things by close application and lengthened experience. AN OMEN. As coming events cast their shadows before, it may bo fairly counted on that a Candidate who has always secured the best class of goods 5 will* in the interests of the people, and in his own interest;, continue to import such superior manufactures as are the Greelong Tweeds, and introduce such novelties as the prospective development of the great resources of the district will justify. EXECUTIVE CHARACTER OF THE OFFICE, A wide difference exists between the office of a legislator and that of an administrator; and recognising the important principle involved, no undue interference will be made when buyers insist on purchasing a low priced article, believing it to be cheap; but on the other hand the right will be reservedj when advice is asked as to the relative merits of goods differing in quality and price, to give such counsel as will redound to the credit of the position. COAL-FIELDS. Should the Council see fit to vote a handsome sum of money by Way of subsidy to the company who will place in the market the first ten thousand tons of coal from your local mines, it would afford me unalloyed pleasure to see the money handed over so soon as available, and to supply the miners with all the clothing they might require for a period of not less than one year, at greatly reduced rates. IMPORTANT 'CHANGES. As nothing conduces more to a sanitary condition than frequent changes of clothing, the Cosf and Quality of a Suit will be so determined as to meet the requirements of all classes, and no one will be allowed to plead the excuse of high prices for not securing a good stock of underclothing when a shirt can be obtained at Westport House for halt'ROB.
