TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. ANNE'S WARD

•
G ENTLtmEN,
ALLOW me to thank you for-the honour you have
this day conferred upon me in Electing me by an un-
precedented number of votes, one of your Representatives in
the Town Council.
It will be my earnest desire and aim, by close attention to
the duties of my office, and by a conscientious and independent
course of action, to justify the confidence so handsomely re-
posed in me.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient
servant, GEORGE NICKSON.

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD

GENTLEMEN,—
T AM deeply sensible of the honour you have this day
conferred upon me, for the second time, m electing me as
one of your Representatives in the Town Council,• and that
almost with unanimity—though, for the mere purpose of
annoyance, you have had to encounter a sham opposition,
and I a phantom antagonist.
Whilst congratulating you, as I do heartily, on the triumph
of Liberal principles in your Ward, I shall not trouble you with
any exuberant professions of gratitude on my own behalf, be-
cause I think such professions uncalled for, wherever the rela-
tions between the representative and the represented are pro-
perly understood. I respect you too highly not to believe that,
in your opinion, as well as in mine, thanks are due to the men
who, without any personal interests to serve, and frequently
in opposition to those interests, devote time, attention, and
labour to service of the community, either as Town Coun-
cillors or as Members of Parliament, rather than from them to
the electors who have imposed upon them most onerous public
duties, and this most especially when the occasion is a renewal
of trust, not the conferring otit for the first time.

Nevertheless, so far as fou and I are concerned, I am most
highly gratified by the result of the day, because my re-elec-
tion, after three years' probation, is your verdict that if I have
not been able to accomplish all that I have attempted, I have
at all events endeavoured, faithfully and perseveringly, to dis-
charge my duty towards you, and toward the Borough at
large. _ _

There can be no higher compliment to any man than such a
verdict as this, from his fellow-townsmen; and I value it
accordingly.
To all of you who have been instrumental in conferring this
compliment on me, and to all who would have been instru-
mental had the occasion called for their exertions, I return nay
grateful acknowledgments, with' the assurance that I will en-
deavour to merit it by a continuance in that line of conduct
which has obtained for, me so signal a proof of your approba-
tion.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient
servant, JAS. R. JEFFERY.
