EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD

The Secretary of the Everton Conservative Ward
Association, (Mr. Daniel Ledson,) has requested us to
insert the following letters, which will convey a fair
impression of the disposition of the various radical
ward committees with reference to the system of whole-
sale objection which has been so unfairly resorted to :

[copy.]
SlR,—Considering the vexntious inconvenience that must
unavoidably arise, and the general ill-feeling which would be
engendered by persevering in the attempt to establish the ob-
jections against municipal voters, and that-the result of every
revision hitherto made has been to leave each party in nearly
the name relative position as that held previously, I am au-
thorised, as chairman of the conservative' committee in this
ward, to lay the following proposal before the chairman and
committee of the reformers, as a means of preventing so
touch personal inconvenience and waste of time—namely,
that each party shall at once withdraw the whole of the no-
tices of objection, and exchange a written agreement to that
effect, signed by the chairman of each committee.—l have
the honour to be, }'our most obedient servant

• w
(Signed) ROBERT LEDSON.
To John Holmes, Esq., chairman of the reform committee in

•
Everton Ward.
Evertou, September 24, 1840.

have the honour to inform you that your letter of
the 24th instant, conta:ning an offer for the withdrawal of all
objections on both sides against certain municipal voters in
the ward, was laid before the Everton reform committee last

evening.
The committee, having given the proposition their atten-
tive consideration, have come to the conclusion of respect-
fully declining to enter upon such arrangement.
The committee, however, presuming there may be names
found on both sides to which unfounded objections have been
!;13,1e, are willing to enter into an arrangement for the with-
drawal of any proportion which may be mutually agreed upon
°Y a deputation from each party.
Should this proposition meet your views, you will see the
necessity of entering upon it without loss of time.—l have
the honour to be your obedient servant,

- -
Robert Led JOHN HOLMES.
'son, Esq., chairman of the conservative com-
mittee of Everton and Kirkdale.
Colia»iittee-roorn, Sept. 29, 1810.

8114,-1 have the honour to inform you that your letter of
yesterday was laid before the Everton conservative com-
luittee.

Through me they have to express their regret that the
proposal to your committee, in their letter of the 24th inst.,
has not been accepted.
As they do not conceive that the proposition made by you
In Your above-mentioned letter' would lead to the result the
committee have in view, namely, the prevention of much
inconvenience to all parties, they must respectfully decline
entertaining the proposition.—l have the honour to be, your
most obedient servant, ROBERT LEDSON.

ANOTHER SCANDALOUS RADICAL TRICK

Not content with the immense number of frivolous and
vexatious objections which they have laid against the conser-
vative voters, the radicals have had recourse to a manoeuvre
which they have but too successfully practised upon former
occasions—that of sending notes to the parties objected to,
!dating that their attendance in the court of revision is not
necessary, in consequence of informality in the service. The
following is
-a Copy of one of these notes :

" SIR ,----I " Septeinber 29th, 1840.
find upon inquiry, that, although your name
appears on the published list of objections to the Municipal
List of Voters, that the service has not been properly made.
In order, therefore, to save you the trouble and inconveni-
ence of attending in court, I beg to state that I withdraw all
objection to your name.

" JOHN HARTLEY,
" Of Soho-square, Liverpool."
addressed to Mr. Robert Smith, of the firm of
Messrs. Smith & Marrow, boat-builders.

It is scarcely necessary for us to remind our conservative
friends that they should lake no notice of these notes, but
that they should take care to be in attendance in the court
to substantiate their claims to be retained on the list. By
the way, it would have shown a little more decency if Mr.
Hartley had paid the postage of his waste paper.
