'THE cordial reception which I have every-

thank you most sincerely, encoui ages me to believe that
the priueitles set forth in my Address have beyn
regarded with general approval.
As one of any original opponents—a Gentleman of
well-known business habits and Parliamentary experieoc,
—had en tired from the contest, there seemed a probability
that the peace of your Division would not have been
disturbed on this Occasion.
A new Candidate, however, has now come forward in

fore, to assure you that this Coalition of my present
opponents, and itm a,.,mpt at Dictation, which, under

GENTLENIEM.—
YOUR present member, Mr. Grant, having
anuounced his intention of retiring from the
representation of your Borough, I have much pleasure
in complying with the resolution so cordially paasied in
my favour, at the large and intluential Meeting held in
your Town last evening. by offering myself AS n Candi-
date for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election.
My political principles are Conservative. and I should
given 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 Disestablishment
and Disendowinent of the Irish branch of Dint Church,
tieing convinced that such measures would tend rather
to create religions discord and excitement than the peace
and contentment which are so essential to the welt
Ireland. lam nevertheless quite i cored to concur n

classes. I (1111 convinced that such an effect wan not in-
tended. and I should desire to see (bean relieved by the
restoration of the privilege of compounding, or by some
other equitable arrangement.
I regard the maintenanee of peace with anther nations.
nod the enforcement and improvement of our commercial
relations, as the principal calmest of, and guarantees for,

strongest now-Tort to the promotion of the effieieney of
our Militia and Volunteer forces, in the latter of which
I have lead the honour of serving ever since its forma-
tion.
I am in favour of remodelling and reforming on,
national institutions from time to time to meet the
gradnal developments and requirements of the age, but
against all changes of an uprooting and destrustive
! character.
I should concur in all measurea of retrenchment and
economy in the public expenditure which would not
impair the efficiency of the several departments.
I am prepared to support a well-considered scheme
for extending National Education. and cnesider that
such a Measure will have the effect of increasing our
material prosperity, by enabling our artisans to maintain
the superiority of English manufactures correspondingly
with the scientific discoveries of the day.
I would protect the funds of all societies which aim
at securing mutual advantages to their members. and
would seek to establish better relations between Capital
and Labour, by referring all disputes in trade to
arbitration.
I have been for some rearm actively engaged in com-
mercial enterprises, and having at my diapornal a con•
alterable portion of my time. I shall, if lan, an fortnnate
as to become your Member, be ready to devote that time
and all the experience I have Required to the faithful
discharge of my duties to you in Parliament, and to the
promotion, to the utmost of my ability, of your local
Interests.
I have the henour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
WILLIAM THOMAS MALINS.
Rolland Park, London, July 9th, 1869.

TO THE
PRESENT AND FUTURE ELECTORS
OF
BEWDLEY 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, roil
am, consequently, a true supporter of the Established
Church of the United Kingdom.
I regard the attempt to disestablish and disendow the
Irish Branch of the Established Church as an ieroad
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 above views, I am prepared
to assist in the removal of all anomalies and abuses in
Church and State.
Having been engaged for many years as an ettensive
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 pass some measure which may remedy such
grievances.
Should you entertain my views, and give me your sup-
port, I shall exert mys,if to the utmost to further your
interests, and in the meantime I boor to see Y^u Per-
sonally, when I shall be prepared to give you further
information on any point, if needful.
I remain,
Faithfully yours,

GENTLEMEN,-
T_TAVING been strongly urged by n Ilrge and

influential body of the Conservative : le-tors of
this County to come forward vs a Candidate for the
Representation of the Westa.ro Diviaion, I have deemed
it my duty to comply with their wishes, and therefore
offer myself for Cie honour of beisg one of your Repre-
settatives, tboo,h, COI:ilia11,1i110 reluctance. as I
feel strongly that there are many gentlemen better
qualified to represent you in Parliament thou I ROL my
occupation hitherto not having led me to di vote very
gyerat attention to polifies.
On the great question of the Irish Church I am
stronely opposed to Mr Glad •toile'• rsoluti ~,, s. and to
any prrtarrral few its diseatablialiment or d.j.:endowment ;
though at the same time I .1u

undies whieli at present exist. With Lord Stanley. I
cattuot altogether approve of its tires. nt but I
deehled/v disapprove of any premature legislation before
we havo -had au opportunity of carefully consitierine the
Report of the lloyal Commission out this must important
subject.
I •ni very desirous of seeing edimation spread more
rapidly among ear pr opt, and 1 believe that end maw
be attained by the extension and improvanient of erer
pre•ent system, end that it is Mit necessary to a compul-
sory rate to effect it.
Considering the growing expenditure of the country. I
cannot help thinking that a wise economy might be ex
erei,ed. which, while maintaining our army and navy in
the highest stale of efficiency—an object I • onsider of
paranionnt importance—and without impairing the floe.
Nines, of the other services, might lessen the outlay
and relieve the taxpayers.
Although I cannot pledge myself to unqualified ap-
proval of every measure that the present Government
may propose, I am prepared to give it a general support ;
and should you do me the honour to elect me, 1 skull
endeavour to fulfil the important trust confided tome to ,

•
Your obedient Servant •
HUGO F. MEYNELL-INGRAM,
Cross Hayes, Burton.on-Trenut,
August 17, 1868.

TO THE ELECTORS
OF THE WESTERN DIVISION OF
STAFFORDSHIRE,
GENTLEMEN,—
T am induced. at the urgent request of many
A. influential Electors, most respectfully to offer
myself fix one of the Candidates for the representation
of the Western Division of the County of Stafford.
I have previously loud the honour of representing a
large pact of the division when it was connected with
North Staffordshire, and took n strong interest in the
variants important questions which mfr. clod the Mining
and Mannfactiseing Dilriets of the County at large.
You can therefore form some opinion of my fitness for
the trust which I solicit at your hands. From the cape.
rienee of the past you may be able to deride whether or
not I am likely to elo my best to promote the general
welfare of so important a constituency.
The new Reform Rill has already gre:itly enlarged the
number of electors hut it amnesia to me that the eonsti-
tueney of the eanntiea may, with advantage, be somewhat
further extended.
I have alwaya advocated the appointment of County
Financial Suede, upon the nrineitile that all taxpayers
should, by their representatives, have some control over
the expenditure.
There are many social questions of great importance
which demand careful and anxious attention, such as
popular education, the reformation of juvenile criminals,
and the prevention of crime. These great objects have
had much of my consideration, and I have done what I
could to promote them.
Some reduction of our national expenditure is much
to be desired, if it can be prudently effected, in order to
diminish the general taxation, end. if posaible, to relieve
the Agricultural interest from the burden of the Malt
Tax.
I am not blind to any of the defects of the United
Church of Encland and Ireland, and shall ever be ready
to reform all abuses therein, and to amend where inn-
provement is required. The Church, as a Protestant
Institution, is connected with the State. but all religions
are free, no one is restrained, and es., ry man may won
ship God according to his conscientious belief, without
the slightest hindrance.
A proposal has been made to revolotionive in some
degree our Constitution, by the disestablishment of one 1
branch of the National Protestant Church, and to deprive
it of its revenues lam not prepared to assent to the
policy of doing this. Moreover, if such a grave question
as the disendowment of the Irish Church is to be canal-
tiered, we should certainly be informed as to the appli-
cation of her confiscated property. The funds so
acquired ought not to be left to the chances of s general
scramble ; and any scheme which proposes to deprive
the Protestant Church of Ireland of its endowments
should. at the same time, declare how it means to die•
pose of them afterwards.
Allow me to observe, in conclusion, that I am 110
bigoted supporter of any Institution because of its anti-
quity ; but. while I am not desirous of altering things
from a mere capricious love of change, I shall ever be
willing to make all needful improvements.
I earnestly desire to promote the real progress of the
people. ten advance the moral and physical wellbeing of
the nation; and if you do me the honour to elect me as
one of your Representatives, I will endeavour honestly
and truly to du my duty.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
SMITH CHILD.
