_
GENTLIDESN, .
AARequisition, numerously signed, has been presented
to me, inviting me to allow myself to be nominated as
a C NDIDATE to represent your interests in the Town
Council. I feel deeply sensible of the honour, and most
cheerfully accede to that request, considering it both a duty
and a privilege to endeavour to fulfil a public trust when
called upon in a constitutional manner. If, therefote' it be
your pleasure to elect me as yot r representative, it will be my
anxious study to discharge the duties _of that important and
responsible position in such a manner as to promote the
welfare of the whole community.
The enforcement of sanitary regulations, the improvement
of the dwellings of the poor, increasing the number and
extent of parka and playgrounds for the people. shall have my
earnest support. But, as a preliminary step to all these
important questions, and in order that the Council and also
the people of Liverpool may know what means there are for
the accomplishment of these great works, I will join most
heartily in the efforts to obtain an early and complete state-
ment of the nature and extent of the corporate estate. This,
I think, is one of the first duties to which the attention of
your representatives ought to be directed. If returned to
the Council it will be my sole object, to the best of my ability,
to see that the public resources are exclusively and efficiently
employed for the public good.
Keeping this principle in view, I may state that the
widening of Park-lane and the improvement of Cleveland-
square Market shall have my earliest and best attention.
Being a large ratepayer in the ward, my interests, I may be
permitted to say, are bound up with yours, and if I can serve
you and the town at large, I shall be happy to do so.—l am,
gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES STEEL.

TJAVINd been waited upon by a large and influential
I I Deputation of your body with a E,equisition very
numerously signed, inviting me again to, become a Candidate
to represent your Ward in the Town Council, I acceded to the
request, and at once placed my services at your disposal. _
During the time which I have had the honour of represent-
ing your interests, I have carefully watched every movement
made, which had for its object the better government of the
Corporate Estate,—the reform of every system of management
not based on sound and satisfactory principles ; and I have
endeavoured to promote and further every useful measure cal-
culated to increase our Corporate revenue, in order that such
improvements as are really necessary to meet the growing
wants of our largely-increasing trade might be effectually
carried out.

That great and important improvements are required, not
only in this Ward, but throughout the town generally, must
be self-evident. In resigning my trustinto your hands, I can
with confidence refer to my past conduct as a proof that I have
not been influenced by any party feeling, but solely actuated,
in the discharge of my onerous duties, through a desire to
maintain, in their fullest integrity, the 'rights of my consti-
tuents.

Should you again place' me in the proud position which I
have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue
that course of procedure which has given so much satisfaction
to you, and which, by your desire, I wish fully to maintain,
and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the
ratepayers.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful and obe-
dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN.

TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
TrAVING received a requisition very numerously
signed by electors of the ward, of all parties, inviting
me to become a candidate for re-election as one of your repre-
sentatives in the Municipal Council, I have much pleasure in
acceding to the request.
My long connection with the ward renders it unnecessary for
me to make any declaration of my sentiments, which are well
known to you. Should you do me the honour of re-electing
me, my best exertions shall be used to promote your interest,
and the general welfare of the town. •
I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

GENTLEMEN
Y Lapse GE
NTLEMEN,
BY time, my occupancy of the honourable e
and responsible position to which you generously elected
me three years ago as one of your Representatives in the Town
Council is about to terminate.
In reviewing my humble services during that period, whether
in committee or in council, I can confidently say that I have at
least faithfully and honestly endeavoured on all questions
affecting either the interest of the town in general, or your
ward in particular, tcr act up to my convictions of duty disin-
terestedly, impartially, and to the best of my judgment.
Whether these endeavours have satisfied your reasonable
expectations, and desires is a question solely for your decision.
If permitted to form an opinion from the requisition which
I have now had the honolir to receive, so numerously signed
by persons of all shades of opinion, desiring me again to
permit myself to be nominated, I am certainly encouraged to
believe that the mode in which my duties have bcen dis-
charged has been satisfactory to the large majority of the
constituents.

Under any other conviction than this I should have hesi-
tated to accede to the flattering wish now expressed, and
shrunk from again seeking the suffrages of those whose good-
will I might unhappily have lost.
Having no self interested ends to serve, I yield to a sense of
fluty, and in placing myself again in your hands I beg to
assure you that, should it he your pleasure to re-elect me, my
best energies shall continue to be devoted to the protection and
promotion of your interests, with the advantage of a more
enlarged and practical acquaintance with your varied wants
than I could boast when you formerly gave me your confidence.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
JOHN JOHNSON STITT.

GmaTENE,_LECTORS OF CASTLE-STREET WARD.
-I- HAVE been requested by a large and influential
ji number of your body, compnsing men of all political sen-
timents, to allow myself to be nominated as a CANDIDATE
for the honour of representing your Ward in the Town
Council. Upon mature consideration, I have not thought it
right to oppose to that request any private feelings of my own,
and I therefore place myself in your hands.
I consider that the duties of a Town Councillor relate exclu-
sively to the important public interests which are entrusted to
the care of the Council of which he is a member. The material,
moral, and social progress of the community, is the great object
to be kept in view. Upon the practical development of this prin-
ciple depends the welfare of all classes amongst us.
If you elect me as your Representative, I shall not fail to act
vigorously and consistently in supporting every measure which
may tend to advance our common interests; and so hope to
justify, not only your choice, but the course taken by those
electors who have signed the Requisition.
I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient Servant,
THOMAS WOODBURN.
