GENTLEMEN,
IBEG to offer my Tharks to the JOINT
COMMITTEE of the ELECTORS of the WARD
for their Vote of Confidence in me, which, I am informed, was
passed at their meeting on the 7th instant.
I have much pleasure in cornpling widi the request made by the
numerous and b fluential deputation which did me the honour to
call upon me this morning, that I would offer myself for RE-ELEC-
TION on the let November peat. If I should be so fortunate as
to be again one of your Representatives in the Council, I shall
endeavour to continue to merit your good opinion by my attention
to the interests of the Borough.
Since I have had a seat In the Council very mall Important sub-
jects have been under consideration, but I feel that the next three
years will requite the strictest atti ntion of your Ret resentatives, in
consequence of the heavy engagements which, to a certain extent,
have been forced upon the Corporation.—l remain, Gentlemen
yours faithfully,
JOIN B. LLOYD.
Exchange-alley, 13th October, 1856.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE period for which you did me the honour to
elect me to represent your interests in the 'Town
Council is drawing to a close. You are aware that I have always
entertained the opielon that the choice of the Councillors of a Ward
is a matter which should rest entirely in the hands of the Electors.
I should, therefore, not have intruded myself upon your notice had
I not been requested to solicit your votes at the ensuing Election.
The invitation was conveyed to me by a deputation from a highly
respectable meeting of the Electors of the Ward, and in a manner
so gratifying to my feelit gs that I have great pleasure in accepting
it. You have always pursued the dignified course of exacting no
pledge from me on any subject whatever. I hope I have not abused
the confidence you have placed in me, and that 1 may, without
presumption, assume that my conduct, to a certain extent at least,
has met your approbation, or I should not have had the flattering
compliment paid to me, which is the cause of my now addressing
you. In discussing the measures which have been brought before
the Council, it has been my study to promote all those which
appeared to me best ca:culated to promote the welfare of the corn-
raunlty at large, and strenuously to oppose all having a contrary
tendency. Such will be my conduct in future, should you do me
the honour to reinstate me in the situation I now hold.
I am, with nom h respect,
Gentienien,
Your obedient humble servant.
WILLIAM EARLE.

TO THE ELECTORS OF EVERTON AND

KIRKDALE WARD.

GENTLEMEN,

AVING received a requisition, asking me to
become a CANDIDATE to represent your interest
in the Town Council, at the ensuing ELE _:TION on the Ist Nov.,
I beg to say:—
lhat, if 1 were to be guided by my own personal inclinations and
leisure, 1 should have to decline the intended honour. But when I
perceive that the document has been so very numerously and
influentially signed, by patties representing various shades of opinion
on minor points; and a'ao, when I consider the many V: s by which
I am attached to your WARD (including my long residence in t,
and in addition thereto, my family connections having done so for
more than two cettuties), I feel there is some degree of dut,
devolving upon me. from which I ought not to shrink; and there.-
fore, it is that I relinquish my own feelings in the matter, and cheer-
fully place my servic s at your disposal.
Permit me to add, t .at I have for more than thirty years past
been actively engaged in commercial pursuit 3 in the "Good Old
Town," and, consequently, am not ignorant of its vast and numer-
ous requirements—nor am I less so w,th regard to the well-being,
and growing w .nts of y, ur own extensive and important WARD
These—lf it be your pleasure to send me to the Council Chamber
your representative—shall receive from me all due considert.tion
aasndyother ,
the duties imposed upon me, to the best of my ability, and
of my consc,en •
fully,. pert, endeavour to disci
ce.—Remaining, Gentlemen, yours t

TO: THE BURGESSES OF EXCHANGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
RAVING, had the gratification of receiving a
Requisition signed by a large majority of the
Electors, requesting that I would allow myself to be put in nomina-
tion a third time for ti-e honour of representing Exchange. Ward, in
the Co ncil of the Borough, I have much pleasare in renewing the
tender of nsy best exertions in y,,ur service, and in support of the
general interests of the town.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
CHARLES TURNER.
Liverpool, 10'h October, 1858.

TO TUE BtTRGESSEOFEVERTON AND

RIRKDALE WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING 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
bring thus called upon, at a time when municipal questions of mag-
nitude and importance are pending. I should be doing violence t,
et sense of duty if I refused to place my 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 ihich I fixed
toy 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; straggles. a. d triumphs which have marked the
onward progrvss of .th;s great community, nor indifferent to the
lessons they convey. Jealous of existing ahuses and defects, I ant

ensibie how much remains to be done, and the amount of energy,
se f.denial. and straightforwardness that will be necessary to the
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 disturb the tenure not only of all Corporate,
but all private property. Should these attacks be renewed, I should
aid in reisting to the utmost all such attempts to wrest, from us our
vested rights. . . .

Of the great question of p .pular Education in Day and SaLbath
Schools, I have ever been the humble but a•dent sup-
porter. To aid in biinging this inestimable blessing within reach of
the poorer clas-es of tbis ward. has been for years past the object of
my personal efforts and solicitude ; whilst all that can contribute to
promote the scelal, moral, and religious progress and well-being of
the community, andelevate it to a higher and, happier position,
commands my warmest sympathies.
Should you elect me one of your Representatives, it shall be
my 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.

Elm House, Belmont Grove, October 16, 1856.
TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD,
GENTLEMEN,
AVING received a REQUISITION, signed
11 by upwards of 300 of your body, in the unprece-
dented short space of two days, requesting me to offer myself as a
CANDIDATE at the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION, to repre-
sent your Interests in the TOWN COUNCIL, I am induced at once
to accede to the request so made, and to place my services at vonr
disposal.

Never was there a period, in the history of the Borough, when
interests so great demanded the careful attention and best judg-
ment of your Representatives—whether we refer to its rapidly
increasins c rnmerce and population, to the increased responsibility
d volving upon the Corporate Exchequer, from the purchase of the
%irkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which oqr deserved success
appears, unfortunately, to have created elsewhere.

In my opinion, our Town Dues have been most unfairly and
unjustly attacked, and the attempt which has been made to confis-
cate such property, when held by Corporations, and yet to maintain
the same title as sacred, when held by private individuals, appears
to me n t only absurd, but iniquitous.

lAs Ratepayers, Gentlemen, the trade of the port must necessarily
demand her first considerations, and, to give every possible facility to
our rapidly growing commerce, is obviously our first duty. To this
end, 1 consider that unnecessary elongation of our Docks should be
avoided, and that the inland concentration of these should be our
tudy.
. _

If elected to the Connell, I will end'avonr to ascertain, with as
little delay as possible, what it is that constitutes the , dorporate
Estate, with a view to its improved revenue; .for I deem it to be a
deplorable fact, that no one gentleman in the Council Chamber pos-
sesses this knowledge; nor does it appear that our princely-paid
officials are any better informed upon this subject than are our
Councillors and Aldermen themselves, as is proved by the circum-
stance, that Mr. Robertson Glad done moved for this Information
more than twelve months ago, and it is not yet forthcoming.
I have been no inconsiderable Ratepayer in your Ward for nearly
a quarter of a century; your interests and mine, therefore, as Rate-
payers, must necessarily be identical.
On several occasions you have expressed a wish that I should
represent you in the Town council ; but hitherto I have considered
the time that was at my disposal insufficient for the faithful dis-
charge of duties so onerous and responsible, and have telt con.
'st,ained to decline that honour. Now, however, if it is your plea-
sure to elect me, on the lst November next, to serve as one of your
Representatives, I shall be proud to undertake the duties which the
office will impose upon me. and to discharge them to the best of my
abi ity.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
JANILS R. JEFFERY.
