LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Having at almost the eleventh hour been requested by an influential deputation to allow myself to be nominated as Alderman for the above Ward, I beg to inform you that it will afford me much pleasure in acceding to their request, and if returned will pledge myself to use my best endeavours to forward the interests of the city generally, and the East Ward in particular. Though I have not had any experience in the Municipal Chamber, I have gained sufficient knowledge during my twenty-eight years of business in this locality to form a good opinion of the necessary requirements, especially for this ward, and therefore leave my election in the hands of my friends and supporters.

I shall take an early opportunity of placing my views in detail before you through the medium of the Press, and remain,
