TO THE ELECTORS
OF
EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
Q INCE I issued my Address of the 12th
A. -3 August, intimating that I proposed to bteome a
Candidate for your Division of the County, a Meeting
of the Liberal Electors of York has been held, at which
a resolution was unanimously passed, adopting me as a
Candidate for that City ut the approaching Election.
As I have had the honour of representing York in two
parliament-., and as I am assured on the best authority
that I shall most effectually serve the Liberal cause by
acceding to the urgent appeal of my York friends, I
have, after very filllioll+l consideration, deemed it advis-
able to comply with their solicitation, and, therefore, it
is my duty to announce to you that I am no longer a
Candidate for the honour of representing East Worces-
tershire in the ensuing Parliament.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your, most respectfully,
J. P. BROWN-WESTHEAD.
Lea Castle, September, ISGS.

TO THE ELECTORS
OF THE
WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF STAFFORD.
GENTLEMEN,—
HAVING in the course of the last twelve
years had the honour of being three times elec-
ted by the larger portion of you as one of the Represen-
tatives of South Staffordshire, I venture again to solicit
your suffrages, and truit I may gain, in the new district
and among the recently enfranchised, many friends as
firm as my old friends of past years.
In politics a Liberal—l have always voted for those
measures of progress, of commercial freedom, and civil
and religious liberty, which bare mainly emanated from
our party for the last thirty years, and have conferred
happiness and prosperity on the nation at large.
On the great question of the day, the Disestablish-
meet lif the Irian Chnrch. Mr. Gedstone's proposals
have had my c,nrdial support. for, while yielding tin DO of.
in attachment to the Church of England. I consider it
doe to our Irish fellow subjects that the Church of a
paneli minority should no longer be placed inn so domin-
ant and invidious position. as to perpetuate in the minds
of an excitable people the remembrance of pact years nil
injustice and persecution. I could not. however. concur
in the hasty ant ill-c,m .idered proposal of the present
Government tn 'tenet upwards' by further endowing
the Rotnan Catholic and other religious bodies of that
country.
I candidly own I have no confidence in the existing
Ministry, and I believe that then, removal from .ffice on
the assembling of Parliament will be most desirable.
I am in favour of the strictest economy in Expendi-
ture. imperial and local. and I am prepared, as formerly,
to vote for any measure for the repeal of One malt tax,
by whichever party it may be introduced, although, judg-
ing by the past, I believe the exiating heavy burdena of
taxation ate more likely to be lightened by • Liberal
administration.
Being most M1X1011,4 for a wide extension of the means
of Education among the working classes. I shall be read)
to give my cordial support to any well-coutidered measure
for effecting this object.
The Reform Measure of last Session can 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 practised, I shall continue to
vote for the protection of the Elector by Ballot.
Having resided all my life in this division of the
County, and being connected both with its mining and
agricultural interests, it will readily be 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,
HENRY WENTWORTH FOLEY.
Prestwood, September sth, 1568.

TO THE
ELECTORS or THE EASTERN DIVISION
OF THE
COUNTY OF WORCESTER.
GENTLEMEN.—
SOME weeks ago, on the appearance of a
Conservative Candidate, I issued an address inti-
mating my intention of again soliciting the honour of
your support. As a general canvass of the constituency
is now at hand, I think it necessary, and due to you, that
I should offer a more lengthened exposition of my poli-
tical views.
My opinions in favour of the policy urged by the
Liberal party with respect to the Irish Chnrch were, I
believe, so fully made known to you in the course of the
contested Election last May, that I need not repeat them
in any detail. I believe that the state is morally and
legally competent not only to disestablish the Irish
Church, but also to deal with its revenues for the general
good of Ireland, and I maintain that justice and expe-
diency alike require the State to do so. As to the dis-
tribution of these endowments no plan hag yet been
proposed, bat! have sufficient confidence in Mr. Glad-
atone to believe that, whatever proposal he may make, he
will forget neither the demands of justice, nor the fair
claims of the Protestant community. Without finch
confidence the united action of a party is Impossible.
The eer...2..malide'in OffICA of a government in an
975ived minority has already led to many evils. But, in-
dependently of this, the government, by their futile
Irish policy, and he their extravagant expenditure have.
I believe, forfeited- the confidence of the Country, and I
should view their removal without regret.
regard the question of National Education as one of
pressing urgency. I hope and believe that &satisfactory
scheme may he carried into effect next Session. which,
without recourse being had is the principle of compul-
sion farther than is at present recognized, may extend
the advantages of Education to all. Failing this, we
must, in my judgment, adopt the compulsory principle.
but with every safeguard against its harsh or unequal
operation.
I willingly advocate the revision of our present linnet-
iefactory system of local taxation, and the representation
of the ratepayers by means of County Financial
Boards.

Candidate. We propose shortly to begin a personal can-
vass and to solicit your suffrages, in the confident hope
that the decision so emphatically pronounced last May,
in favour of Liberal principles, will not Le reversed by
the enlarged constituency.
I am, Gentlemen,
Years obedient Servant,
CHARLES GEORGE LYTTELTON.
Hagley, September 10th, 18611.

TO THE ELECTORS
HE THE
WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF STAFFORD.
GENTLEMEN,—
THE large and influential constituency of
South Staffordshire I aving been divi,!ed by the
new Reform Act I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for
the representation in Parliament of that Division with
which I am more immediately connected, and in bidding
farewell to my Constituents in the Eastein portion of the
County I tender them my heartfelt thanks for the kind
support and indulgence which they have accorded to me
during the eleven years I have had the honour of repre-
senting them.
The enlarged Franchises conferred by recent legisla-
tion will be the means of infusing new vigour into our
political life.
Direct and important issues are now before the COOT-
try. Yon, 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
whether it is to he entrusted to the consistent and con-
scientious advocates of those Liberil principles to which
we are indebted to a great extent for our national pro-
gress and prosperity.
If yoa do me the honour to elect me as 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 the last Session of Parliament in
favour of the resolutions for the disestablishment of the
Irish Church. I hope and confidently believe that the
coming Parliament will confirm the decision approved
by a large majority of the present House of Commons,
and while dealing in the most liberal manner with all
vested interests and personal or private rights, put an
end to an anomaly which has, for so many years, been
associated in the minds of a vast portion of the Irish
people with ideas of conquest and supremacy, and has
thus tended to kindle and keep alive feelings of religious
animosity and discord.
A sincerely attached member myself of the Established
Church of England, I believe that her welfare and
security, so far from being endangered, will be increased
and consolidated by this policy, whilottlie removal of a
grievance deeply felt by our Roman Catholic fellow sub-
jects 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.
Althouggh much advance has been made under oar 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 be greatly in excess of
the public requirements, and I am prepared to support a
financial policy which by a wise economy will diminish
the present heavy taxation.
The system of stir local taxation requires revision, and
I think the time has arrived for the formation of County
Financial Boards.
There are other queations of considerable importance
upon which I hope to have future opportunities of ex-
preening my views.
Personally concerned in the great Mining and Manu-
facturing industry of your County. mil no leas interested
in its Agricultural welfare, I shall, if honoured by your
confidence, sedulously devote n* ill,: efforts to promote
the various local interests of our important consti-
tuency.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM ORME FOSTER.
