of which he was a memher,. rather than bylengthened
orations in the Council chamber. He. is connected with
the interests of the Township. of Toxteth, being the
owner of large property in it, and he is also identified
in interest with the interests of the ratepayers.
Mr. Livingston, we are glad to learn, has been re-
quested to allow himself 'to be brought out as a candidate,
by fully 300 of the most influential resident and occupying
yoters in the ward. His success seems certain,, and in
'anticipating it we may mention that during his previous
I)ocapancy of a seat at the Council, his 'services in the
atch Committee were considered to be of the greatest
Practical value.
For South Toxteth Ward, Mr. Joseph Robertson
again solicits the votes of the electors.- If untiring
zeal, and unshrinking diligence in attending to the
interests of his constituency, without compromising
those of the community, be recommendations in the
eyes of a constituency, the claims of Mr. Robertson
on the consideration of the electors of this ward
Ought to be paramount. During the six years which
he
has sat in the Cotincil, he has been a more
'equent attender at the meetings of committees
and of the Council than any other member. Snell
services ought not to be lost sight of, and on the first of
next month we cannot doubt they will be recognised by
the renewed confidence of a well pleased constituency.

Under most favourable auspices. In answer to a
numerously signed and highly influential requisition,
he has agreed to become a candidate. As a recipient of
municipal honours, Mr. Came is as yet a new man,
although he is by no means unused to public business..

Strange if it had been otherwise. So long a period of
'valuable service as nine years is not likely to be for-
gotten, or swallowed up in the pretensions of one who
comes forward for the first time, and that time merely

connection with the ward it is impcssible to see.
