TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
GREAT GEORGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
AN Influential Deputation from the Electors of your
Ward having waited upon me, requesting that I would
allow myself to be put in nomination as a CANDIDATE
to represent you in the Town-Council, in place of your
worthy and respected late representative (now an Alder-
man) James Lawrence, Esq., I respectfully place myself
in your hands.
I am fully persuaded that Conservative principles are
necessary to the welfare of the country, and I will support
that system of Religious Education, now happily for the
town, maintained in the Corporation Schools.
Should you confer upon me the honour of representing
you, I will use my best endeavours to promote those mea-
sures which I conceive essential for the general good of
the inhabitants, and the support of the Constitution in
Church and State.

I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
G. G. HORNBY.

GREAT GEORGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been unanimously nominated, at a large and
influential meeting of the Conservative Burgesses of
your Ward, as a CANDIDATE to represent your in-
terests in the Town-Council on the Ist November next, I
feel great pleasure in complying with your request, and at
once avow mrself a Candidate for your suffrages. I hesi-
tate not to tell you I am a staunch Conservative, and that
on all religious questions, particularly that of Scriptural
Education, you will find that, if called upon, I will not de-
sert principle for the sake of expediency, but at all times
vote fearlessly and conscientiously.
It shall be my study to promote, to the best of my
judgment and ability, the interests of the Inhabitants of
the Town generally, and of your Ward in particular, to
which I naturally feel attached, in consequence of having
formerly resided in it for a period of upwards of fifteen
years ; and I trust, if elected, you will not have cause to
regret your choice.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN SOTHERN.

IHAD hoped that some other Gentleman would have

case, I yield to the pressing request of several of the
Electors to be again placed in Nomination, and to subject
all considerations of personal convenience to a sense of
public duty, especially where my discharge of it hitherto
has been so honoured by your reiterated confidence, for
which I beg to return my most grateful acknowledgments ;
and should you again elect me, I trust, when the occasion
shall require, to be found at my post, and doing my duty,
according to the measulrereomf

, and
Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
