TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. ANNE'S WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
I
have been asked by a most influential deputation
from your ward to allow myself to be placed in nomina-
tion for the seat in the Council ab..ut to be vacated by your
respected member, Mr. Mellor.
After consulting with friends upon whose judgment I can
rely, I have determined on placing my services at your
disposal.

1-f you elect me, I shall go into the Council Chamber deter-
mined, so far as may lie in my power, to promote the interests
not only of this ward, but of the town at large.
By a judicious but considerable retrenchment of our borough
expenditure, I believe that the taxes levied upon your earn-
ings may be diminished, and the imminent risk of additional
burdens averted.
To a business-like and proper management of our vast cor-
porate property it will be admitted that a knowledge of what
it is, and where it is situated, is required. The production of
the return ordered at the instance of Mr. Gladstone, three
years ago, is still delayed, and ought at once to be placed in
the hands of every member of the Council.
Now that the dock property is separated by act of Parlia-
ment from the corporate estate, I can see no reason why it
should not be subject to the same rates as all other property.
On the 9th of November I shall, if returned by you, be called
upon to take part in the election of eight gentlemen as alder-
men of the borough. I will on that occasion, while exercising
my independent judgment as to who are the best fitted to
receive so marked a distinction, endeavour to secure such a
distribution of the aldermanic honours as to leave no doubt
upon the mind of any one that " honour" gas been given " to
whom honour is due."
I shall support • the extension of education, as it alone can
enable a man to fulfil the duties of his station konourably in
whatever position of life he may be.
I shall endeavour, by advocating the establishment of public
parks and playgrounds, to diminish the temptations tp intem-
perance and crime.

- In a few months the noble gift of our fellow-townsman, Mr.
William Brown, is to be thrown open to the public, and will
form a lasting ornament to your ward.
I hope soon, too, to see a branch of the Liverpool Savings
Bank established in this part of the town, convinced that t'ke
extension of the means of mental culture by the Free Library
will be followed here, as elsewhere, by a marked moral and
physical improvement.
It will be my pleasure, if returned to the Council, to support
some of the schemes of borough improvements which have
beex so ably advocated by Mr. William Earle, especially so far
as they relate to the approaches to our noble river, those being
at present not only dangerous to the public, but a disgrace to
the town.

I hope to have many other opportunities of addressing you,
of which I shall take advantage to make known my views,'
upon all subjects of public interest in reference to which you
may wish an expression of my opin6n.
I will only add that if I can be of any service .to my native
town---the town in which my respected father ministered for
nearlx_2o years,. and,nver whickiny grwidfather.presided as
chief magistrate upwards of half a century ago--it will be
more than a recompense to me for any exertions I may be
called upon to make in your behalf.
I remain, gentlemen, yours very faithfully, ' -
