OF THE
BOROUGH OF KIDDERMINSTER.
GENTLEMEN,—
YOUR present member, Mr. Grant, having
announced his intention of retiring front the
representation of your Borough, I have much pleasure
in complying with the resoliffion so cordially passed in
my favour, at thc large and influential Meeting held in
your Town last evening, by offering myself ass Candi-
date for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election.
My political principles are Conservative, rind T should
gives cordial, though independent, support to the present
Government.
I am an attached member of the Church of England
and Ireland. and totally opposed to the Disestablisliment
and Disendowmer t of the Irish branch of that Church,
being crinvineed that melt measures would tend rather
to create religious digcord and excitement than the pence
and contentment which are so essential to the welfare of
Ireland. lam nevertheless quite prepared to concur in
the Ten-meal of any anomalies which may exist in the
Irish Chureh by an equitable redistribution of its
revenues.
I regret to find that in some boroughs the Rating
Clauses in the Reform Rill press hardly on the working
classes. lam convinced that such an effect was not in-
tended, and I should desire to see them relieved by the
restoration of the privilege of compounding, or by some
other equitable arrangement.
I regard the maintenance of pence wills other nations,
and the enlargenient and improvement of our commercial
relations, as the principal causes of, and guarantees for,
our national prosperity. The policy of the Government,
both foreign sad domestic, is. in my opinion, well calcu-
lated to produce these beneficial results.
In accordance with these views I shonld give my
strongest support to the promotion of the efficiency of
our Militia and Volunteer forces, in the latter of which
have had the honour of serving ever since its forma-
tion.
I am in favour of remodelling and reforming one
national institutions from time to time to meet the
gradual development., and requirements of the age, but
against all changes of an uprooting and destrusti-o
charaet. v.
I should concur in all measures of retrenchment and
economy in the public expenditure which, would not
impair the efilffency of the several departments,
rim prepared to support a well-considered scheme
for extending National Edneation, and consider that

TO THE
PRESENT AND FUTURE ELECTORS
OF
REWDLEY AND STOURPORT.
AT the request of a large and influential
body of the Electors, I have come forward to
solicit your support at the forthcoming Election.
I entertain opinions of Conservative character. and
am, consequently, a true supporter of the Established
Church of the United Kingdom.
I regard the attempt to disestablish and dimendow the
Irish Branch of the Established Church as an inroad
upon our Constitution, and upon the religious principles
established at the Reformation. and as dangerous to the
State and to the real liberties of the people.
While entertaining the shove views, I am prepared
to aasist in the removal of all anomalies and abuse, in
Church and State.
Oaring been engaged tor many years man extensive
manufacturer and large employer of labour, I am in a
position to judge of the nature of the grievances arising
between the employers and employed, and would lend
my aid to iiass some measure which may remedy such
grievances.
Should you entertain my views, and give me your sup-
port, I shall exert myself to the utmost to further your
1 interests, and in the meantime I hope to see you per-
sonally. when I shall be prepared to give you further
information on any point, if needful.
I remain,
Faithfully yours,

halves of Smith Staff irdalore, I venture again to solicit
your suffrage,. and trust I to iv gain. in the new district
and among the recently enfranchised, many friends as ,
firm as my old friends of past years.
In politica a Liberal,--I have always voted fee those
measures of prigress, of coin onerciel freedom. •ml civil
and religions liberty, which have mainly enenuated from
oar party for the last thirty teals, and have conferred
happiness and prosperity on tile nation at large.
. On the great question of the day, the Disestablish-
meet of the !rise Churn+. Mr. tilindat ,'n proposals !
have had soy cordial suep.iet. fiir. while yielding tone one ,
in attai:hment to the Chuleh of Enuland. I consider it i
nice to our Irish fellow sitlipiete that the Church of a •
small minority shotild no longer he placed in so niiimin•
ant and itivid lolls position. as to perpetnatti in the minds
of an excitable people Om rilli, toltranee of put yearn of
injustice and persecution. I could not. however. concur
in the hasty and ill-eon.idered proposal of the tiresent
Govionnient to •• level upward,. " by further endowing
the Ileman Catholic sail other religious bonlisa of that
country.
I candidly own I have no eonfidence in the existing ,
Ministry. and that dick removal Vont • 'thee on
Ilia assembling of Parliament will be most desirable.
I am in favour of the strictest economy in Expendi-
ture. imperial suld local. and 1 aui prepared, as formerly,
to vote for any measure fir the reneal of the malt tax.
by whichever party it mop Inc introdueed, although, jadg.
ing by the past. I believe the existing lieavy hardens of
taxation are inure likely to be lightened by a Liberal
adni inistration.
Being most anxious for a wide extension of the means
of Education among the working classes.! shall be ready
to give my cordial support to any welbconsidered measure
for effecting this object.
The Reform Measure of last Session ran hardly be
considered as a permanent settlement, especially as re-
gards the rating clauses or the distribution of seats ; as
long too, as intimidation is peon-tin-it, I shall routines. to
vote for the protection of the Elector by Ballot.
Hosing resided all my life in Obi division of the
County, and being connected both with its mining foul
agricultural interests, it will readily tie believed that, if
elected, I shall be ever ready to promote its interests as
identical with my own.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,

TO THE ELECTORS
OF THE
•
WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF STAFFORD.
GENTLEMEN,—
I-11HE large and influential constituency of
South Staffordshire having Leen divided by the
ni w Reform Act! beg to offer myself ass Candidate for
the representation in Parliament of that Division with
which I am more immediately connected, and in Lidding
farewell to my Constituents in the Einstein portion of the
County I tender them my heartfelt thanks for the kind
support and indulgence which they have !weenie,' to me
during the eleven years I have bad the honour of repre-
senting them.
The enlarged Franchises conferred by recent legisla-
tion will he the means of infusing new vigour into our
political life.
Direct and important issues are now before the Coun-
try. l,no, with the other Constituencies of the Empire,
will have to decide whether the Administration of the
Government of the Country is to be retained by States-
men who. when in office, have sacrificed the political
principles which in opposition they always professed, or
hether it is to be entrusted to the consistent and eon-
scientious noivocates of those Liberal principles to which
we are indebted to a great extent for our national pro-
gress and prosperity.
If yon douse the honour to elect me aa one of your
representatives I shall give my willing and cordial support
to Mr. Gladstone, as the Leader of the united Liberal
party, and as the Statesman pre-eminently qualified to
carry its policy into practical effect.
I gave my vote in tine last Session of Parliament in
favour of the reaolutions for the diaestablishment of the
Irish Church. I hope and eonfidently believe that the
conning Parliament will emitirm the decision Repro, ed
by a large majority of the present Rouse of Commons,
and while dealing in the most liberal manner with all
vested interests and remained or private riglita. put all
end loan anomaly which has, for so many years, been
associated in the mita+ of a vast portion of the Irish
people with Ideas of eonipmat and suprernaev, and has
thus tended to kindle and lie ap alive feelings of religious
animosity and discord.
A aincerely attached member myeelf of the Eidablialted
Chureh of England, I believe that her welfare and
security, an far from being etdangered, will lie Mareased
and consolidated by this poncv, while the removal of a
grievance deeply felt by our Roman Cattiolie fellow sub.
Pets In Ireland will contribute in no slight degree to the
well.being of the empire at large.
The attention of the New Parliament must be directed
at an early day to the state of our National Education.
Althiniggh mach advance has been made under our pre'
sent system, a large portion of the population are grow-
ing up without the blessings of education. I shall
support any well-considered measure which will tend to
the removal of this great national reproach.
I am in favour of placing the honours and emoluments
of our Universities within reach of all, emancipated
from religious tests.
I consider our National Expenditure (largely increased
under the present Government) to he greatly in excess of
the public requirements' and! BM prepared to aupport a
financial policy which by a wise economy will diminish
the present heavy taxation.
The system of our local taxation requires revision, and
I think the time has arrived for the formation of County
Financial Boards.
There are other questions of considerable importance
upon which I hope to have future n•pportuaities of ex-
pressing my views.
, Personally concerned in the great Mining and Manu-
facturing industry of your County, al. I no leas interested
in its Agricultural welfare, I shull, if honoured by your
confidence, sedulously devote my best efforts to proutote
the various local interests of your important consti-
tuency.
