AZISCELLANZOI7B.
Mr. Scholefield, son of the late Member for Birmingham,
has received a pressing invitation from an influential body of
the electors, to come forward as a candidate. In his reply
he says—"l assure you that I should have felt compelled re-
spectfully to have declined the request which has been urged
upon me, if it had not been accompanied by a strong expres-
sion of opinion, that the majority of the independent electois
of the borough would probably concur in the views which
dictated it; and that ultimately the Reformers of our town
would combine in my favour. If lam thus acceptable to my
fellow-townsmen, and union be your watchword, I no longer
hesitate, but cheerfully tender you my humble services in
discharge of the important and responsible duties of your
representative."
