TO THE ELECTORS OF EVERTON AND KIRK-

DALE WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been requested by a highly respectable Depu-
tation to allow myself to be put up in Nomination at
the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION for this Ward, I
feel it a duty to place my services at your disposal; and
have only to assure you that, if elected to the honour of
being your Representative, I shall endeavour to discharge
the duties with which I may be entrusted, in the true spirit
of a Conservative.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient Servant,
FRANCIS SHAND.
Everton, 29th September, 1838.

TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING received, at the late Public Meeting of your
Ward, the gratifying testimony of your approval of
my conduct and attention to my duties during a period of
nearly three years, which I have had the honour of repre-
senting you in the Town Council, and as you were then also
pleased unanimously to call for a continuance of those ser-
vices, after the ample opportunity you have had of judging
of me by the past, I cannot decline the honour of again
soliciting your suffrages on the day of Election; assuring
you, that if elected, it shall be my endeavour, as it has hi-
therto been, diligently to discharge the responsible duties of
the office.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Y our obediedt Servant,
JOHN WOOLLRIGHT.
Bold-street, October 3, 1838.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SCOTLAND WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING received a Requisition inviting me to offer
myself as a CANDIDATE for the Representation
of your WARD in the TOWN COUNCIL, I have to state
that I readily accede to your reqnest. My political senti-
ments are unchangeable. 1 have always advocated the free-
dom of the subject; but I have beau wofully disappointed by
the effects of Reform, both in Parliament and likewise in
our own Corporation. It is high time that men of all political
sentiments should unite, in this great town, to endeavour to
promote its general interest and welfare.
Gentlemen, after the present, or Reform Council was
elected, I thought that all extravagant salaries and useless
places would have been abolished; but I have been most
egregiously deceived, they are all retained, and even new
and useless places are created, for no other purpose but to
provide for their immediate friends.
The public funds have been squandered, amongst lawyers
and attorneys, in an unprecedented manner. I nead'only
refer to the items in our Corporation accounts for the proof.
Unless we have retrenchment, reform is worthess. It has,
hitherto, been a change of men without any alteration of
measures—except, indeed, for the worse. The expenses in
every department are equal to those of the former Corpora-
tion, and, in too many instances, exceed them. I consider it
to be the duty of every one, whatever his political opinions
may be, to remind those who term themselves Reformers of
their former professions.

I beg leave to conclude by stating, that I have never been
deterred by frowns, nor swayed by favours, in the due per-
formance of my publicl duties; and, be assured, Gentlemen,
that, in the event of my being elected your representative in
the Town Council, I shall not swerve from these principles.
I iemain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Sand-hills, October, 1838. ISC. HOLMES.
