GENTLBMN R,
AF TER SIX YEARS' REPRESENTATION
of your Ward, during which I have endeavoured to
do my duty to the best of my ability, the period has nearly arrived
when I must surrender the trust into your hands.
I can only point to my past services as the test of my fitness for
again undertaking the responsibility, If it shall be your pleasure to
confer it; and if you elect me once more to represent the Ward in
which I spent so large a portion of my life, the same attention shall
be exhibited to every practical measure for providing for our
extended commerce, and for promoting the best interests of the
town.—l am, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,
JAMES HOLME.

TO THE BURGESSES OF EYERTON AND

XIRKDALE WARD

GENTLE ILEX,
~AVING had the honour to receive an influen-
tial and numerously signed Requisition, asking me to
offer myself as a CANDIDATE at the approaching Municipal Elec-
tion to represent your interests In the Town Council, I feel that, in

I should be dc

fence 0

a sense of duty if I refused

services at your disposal

Having spent my life amongst you, and being engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits, I cannot but feel a deep interest In all that concerns
my native town, and especially that district of it in which I fixed
my residence for a number of years.
Though hitherto abstaining from active interference in public
matters, I trust that I have been neither an uninterested spectator
of the mistakes. struggles. and triumphs which have marked the
onward progress of this great community, nor indifferent to the
lessons they convey. Jealous of existing abuses and defects, I am
sensible how much remains to be done, and the amount of energy,
self-denial, and straightforwardness that will be necessary to th:t
doing of it.
I have witnessed with alarm the recent attempts of a party to
confiscate our Town Dues, upon principles which, in my judgment,
would undermine and dbiturb the tenure not only of all Corporate,
but all private property. Should these attacks be renewed, I should
aid in resisting to the utmost all such attempts to wrest from us our
vested rights. _ _

Of the great question of papular Education in Day and Sabbath
Schools, I have ever been the humble but ardent sup-
porter. To aid in btinging this inestimable blessing within reach of
the poorer clasi es of tots ward, has been for years past the object of
my personal efforts and solicitude ; whilst all that can contribute to
promote the sccial, moral, and religious progress and well-being of
the community, and elevate it to a higher and happier position,
commands my warmest sympathies. '
Should you elect me one of your. Representatives, It shall be
nay constant endeavour to discharge the duties of the trust faith-
fully, and to the best of my ability, and
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN JOHNSON STITT.
