TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF

DuitCHEsTER.

GENTLEMEN, Her Majesty's Govern-
meet hsi•ing decided on a Disuiolution of the
present Parliament. I have again to ask for a renewal
of the tiin.t which you hare done me the honour to
confide in we MB your Representative.
I Lave been • firm support, r id Her hlsjesty's
Moist thinking that their Policy has avoided Waz
on the one hand, whilA piscine England in her proper
rank and ii.fluet.ce in the Councils of the i;reat
Nations on the other; not drifting into • repetition of
the Crimean War, nor rhrinking from responsibilities,
as in the cases of Denmark and the Alabama Claims.
complications that arose in Asia and South Africa
have been almost brought to a matistact.,ry conclusion,
which thews that Her Majesty's Government have
been animated by a desire to uphold the greatness and
Integrity of the Empire.
I dissent altogether from the doctrines of the Home
Rulers and the policy advocated by them. If their
views were carried ont anarchy would soon prevail in
Ireland, and would be speedily followed by • revolu-
tion.

.....
TAting bit" conaVeri,ti on the Ea-tern (location,
depression of Trade, .nd the wont liarv,at of • gener-
ation, the Fiances ~f the Country may be considered
more satisfactory than could have been anticipated.
If you do me the honour to re elect me be assured
that my beet eudea•ouns shall be to ',ether in every
way the interePte of your ancient Itorough, and to
merit the kindness that you have hitherto shown me.
lisping soon to hors the pleasure of meeting you,
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
You obliged and faithful Servant,
W. E. BRYMER.

11..fortuuately I am at present confined to my bed

time, but I shall avail niya.lf of that pleasure the
earliest opportunity.

I can only refer you to the an to my conduct in
the future.

Whilst having regard to the prnaperity of the
Country at!arze. I have always earnestly endeavoured

TO THE LIBERAL AND INDFI'ENDENT
ELECTORS OF WEYMOUTH & MELCOSIBE

—ln compliance with
numerowily sine .l Requisition of the Electors
of this Borough presented to tar, I beg 1 Her you
my service. as your Reprinieutative in the to. st ensuing
Parliament.

This will afford you an opportunity, not available
at the last General Election, owing to the absence of
any Second Liberal Candidate, of giving full expres-
sion to your political convictions, and of returning to
Parliament two members pledged to support a Liberal
Policy.
Lord Bear insfield In his manifesto to the Duke of
Idarlboringh hae, in alliterative and high aounchnd
language, attempted to insinuate that the Liberals as
• body are in favour of the disintegration of the
Empire, and content to sacrifice its prestige in the
Councils' .4 Enrepe. This I emphatically deny, and I
pledge myolf to give no support to Home- 'inlet or to
an, inea.-oie that 'nay tend to estrange our Colonise,
I or impair the traditions of our gloriole poet.
The present Government, alter inheriting a surplus
of nearly Seven Millions from their prudent prede-
ceawn• bare hot only squandered this, but Increased
the expenditure, in spite of the cheap price of all
materials, and have also left • deficiency of Three-and-
shelf Ildlioas, not including tho expense of the
Afghan War, anti other heavy liabilities, the sum total
of which it is now difficult to eatimnte.
The line ,4 Foreign Policy which they have adopted
has beque.ddied to whomsoever their aucceesors may be
indefinite liability, in engaging to defend the Frontier
01 Asia Minor, Violater up Turkey and Persia, and a'so
the onus of settling the difficulties in hostile
Afghanistan. Meanwhile lhonestic Reforms have
been neglected, and such meaiii:res ot a domestic nature
as have been introduced by the Government have been
conspicuous only for their failure, and for the
evidence which they afforded of its incapacity to
legislate for the real wants of the people.
I hope to have numerous opportunities afforded me
of giving expression to my views on other matters. It
remains fur me only to say, that my Candidature is In
no way opposed to the interests of your present sitting
Member, Mr. Edwards, who has well and ably repre-
sented your Borough for some considerable time past,
and who hal nobly sustained hie reputation for dis-
interested generosity. I hope Mr. F.dwarda will find
himself at the top of the Poll on the Election day and
for myself, I shall be satisfied to come imundstely
after him. Weymouth shall thus contribute to the
strength of the Liberal Party, and so exercise her
proper iiiflienoe in the direction of the affaire of this
vast Empire. .

In conclusion, allow me to say that whatever the
issue of this contest—the cordiality of the reception
which I have met with from you his beau such that I
must ever bear it in grateful rec-Ilection, and believe
me, that should I have the honour of representing you
In Parliament, it shall not be said did Weymouth
suffers aught by reason the chan.ps which her free
and Independent Electors have effected.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient 'Penult,
ALEXANDER C. IVYLIK.
