TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. ANNE'S WARD

GENTLEMEN,
Ihave 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.
_ _ _

if 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 bwough
expenditure, I believe that the taxes levied upon your earn-
ings may be diminished, and the imminent risk of additional
burdens aterted.

To € 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" has 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 honourably in
whatever position of life he may be. .
I shall endeavour, by advocating the establishment of public
parks and playgrounds,. to diminish the temptations to 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 tke
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
been so ably advocqted 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 opinion.
I will only add that if I can be of any service to my native
town—the town in which my respeeted father ministered for
nearly 20 years, and over which my" grandfather Presided as
phia mng.trntn upwnrcla 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,
CLARKE A SPINA LL.

ASPINALL, Esq., sits daily at Mr. Martin's, 109, St. Anne-

TO THE BURGESSES AND ELECTORS OF EVERTON
AND KIRKDALE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
AN influential deputation having waited on me to
request I would allow myself to be nominated as a
tatiidate for your Ward at the ensuing Municipal Election, I
have with much pleasure acceded to your request.
As a resident for eighteen years in your ward, I feel the
strongest interest in its prosperity, as well as that of the town
at large ; and should I be so fortunate as to be elected your
Representative, you may rely on my best energies being
devoted to your services.
My religious and political principles being well known to
you, I need not enlarge on those topics. There is only one
other which suggests Itself to me, as one on which you may
desire to know my sentiments : that is, the rating of the
docks ; and on this question I have always entertained
decided opinions, and can see no valid reason why they should
not bear their fair share of local taxation.
I have the honsur to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
CHAS. FREDK. CARNE.
