TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
BOROUGH OF FROME.

GENTLEMEN,
PERMIT me to return you my heartfelt
thanks for the great honour you have this
day conferred upon me b 3 returning me as Representative of
your borough in the Commons' House of Parliament. To
have received the free suffrages of so many honest electors is
an honour of which any man may be proud, and it is grati-
fying to know that the united numbers polled in favour of
my opponents—Lord Edward Thynne and the Hon. Major
Boyle—only exceed by two the record thus made in my be-
half. The value of my present triumph is enhanced by the
remembrance of my want of success in former struggles.
I am assured by it that the principles of Reform and
Social progress, which I ventured to enunciate, on first corn-
ing amongst you, are fast taking wider, deeper, and stronger
root in the public mind ; and I am also emboldened to believe
that your confidence in me has grown with your opportu-
nities of knowing me.
Whilst I congratulate myself on having attained the proud
position to which your favour has raised me, allow me also to
congratulate you that your borough cannot in future be spoken
of as an appendage to the estates of either of the two noble
families whose claims upon your suffrages are now negatived.
Your borough will from this date take rank amongst the free
and independent constituencies of the empire.
The first duty I owe to you will be to make an earnest ap-
peal to calm the excitement called forth by the contests for
the free representation of your borough, and in which strug-
gles (for the time within three years) I have been almost
continuously engaged.
The confidence you have so generously reposed in me de-
mands my warmest gratitude, and I feel that the best return
I can make you will be the dedication of my best energies in
your service. So long as I shall have the honour of repre-
senting you it will be my unceasing endeavour to carry out
the political principles I have professed, and to promote the
social and commercial interests of your town.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
DONALD NICOLL.
