TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEI -STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE Requisition which has been presented to me
by a Deputation from your body, so numerously and
highly respectably signed by gentlemen of all parties, to allow
myself to be nominated as a CANDIDATE for the REPRE-
SENTATION of your WARD, in the Town Council of this
Borough, at the ensuing Election on the first of November
next, is of such a nature, that although I had for many years
given up all idea of ever again entering into public life, I feel
too greatly honoured by the present unexpected appeal to me
to reject the application you have now made.
I assure you that, if elected, I intend to enter into the duties
of this new station with the same faithful zeal and energy that
I have always endeavoured to manifest in the public service,
and with an earnest desire to promote the welfare and pros-
perity of this great commercial town.
A high Tory in principle, I nevertheless lament as much as
any man the unhappy divisions which have so long destroyed
the best interests of this country ; and I cannot but reel that,
in this respect, I am the more highly honoured in that I see
the names of so many gentlemen in the Requision which has
been presented to me who have always hitherto been opposed
to those political principles I have ever professed.
With respect to the two great and important questions which
now agitate this community, I beg to refer to my opinions
against the Rivington Scheme and in favour of Dock Rating,
avowed in the two letters published in the Liverpool Courier
of the 29th November, 1848, and the 3d January, 1649, in reply
to the letters of Samuel Holme, Esq., also published in the
same journal; and I beg to say, that I have no reason to change
my opinions on these matters, but rather to state, that all
which has since taken place has only strengthened and con-
firmed them.

I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
With much respect,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
ALGERNON FREDERICK JONES.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
AVING been waited upon by a highly respectable
and influential Deputation, with a request that I
would allow myself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for
your Suffrages at the ensuing Municipal Election, on the Ist of
November, I hasten to express my grateful acknowledgments
for this expression of your confidence.
I should, indeed, be wanting in my duty to my Fellow Bur-
gesses, were I not at once to place myself unreservedly in your
hands.

As a Candidate, I wish to state explicitly my views on the
two great questions which now agitate the public mind. As
regards providing the town with water, I consider it requisite
that the home supply should be honestly and fairly tested, pre-
viously to the outlay of so large an amount of money as the
carrying out of the Rivington Pike scheme would involve.
In reference to the rating of the Dock and Corporate Estates,
I hold it to be but equitable that all Property in the town.
whether public or private, should contribute its fair and just
proportion to the local rates.
If elected, I shall at all times consider myself bound to re-
flect, in the Council Chamber, the opinion of a majority of m
constituents on all important subjects which may arise; and
shall also consider it my duty to support the strictest economy
in the expenditure of the Corporate Funds, compatible with
the efficient conduct of the public service.
I am, Gentlemen, faithfully yours,
JOHN CHARLES FERNIHOUGH.
