TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH

OF DUDLEY.
GENTLEMEN,—Her Majesty's Ministers
having decided on appealing to the country, a Dissolu-
tion of the present House of Commons may be expected in
about fifteen days.
I hasten to inform you that it is my intention to present
myself as a Candidate for the honour of again Representing
your Borough in the important Parliament about to be as-
sembled.
Unconnected with and uninfluenced by any party conside-
rations whatever, I have watched with much anxiety the
recent struggle, having in view the redemption of my pledge
to support any Government which would give to the country
such a measure of Reform as would secure to the People an
increased share in the Representation, believing that the
Educational progress of the Working Classes entitles them
to be dealt with in a fair and liberal spirit.
In all other matters connected with the interests of this
great country, confidently refer to the votes I have given as
your member, and I shall immediately ask you, both in
public meeting and by personal canvass, whether I am not
entitled to a continuance of that confidence which so triumph-
antly returned me at the last Election.
Your faithful servant,
B. SHERIDAN.
House of Commons, April 6,1859.

TO THE ,ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF
DUDLEY.

r4ENTLEMEM,—I beg to inform you that my
NA reception has been of the most flattering character, and
inspires me with the belief that my success at the forthcoming
contest will be certain.
My late arrival, I trust, will be taken as a sufficient apology
for not having as yet called upon you, but I will take the
earliest opportunity of personally canvassing every Elector.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,

H. B. SHERIDAN.
