BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. 0 THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GEIN TLE M EN,—A Requisition, very in- fluentially Signed, having been presented to me, inviting me to come forward to represent you at the Council Board, I am induced to acquiese with the wishes of the requisitionists. I have, for some years, narrowly watched the proceedings of the Council, and have fre- quently been pained at their reckless waste of the public money, especially with reference to the payment of a large amount for a plan of drainage which has now been abandoned. If, Gentlemen, you will honour me with your support, and return me to the Council Board, I have only to add that my votes shall always be given on the side of economy, and I shall ever consider your interests identical, with my own.

GENTLEMEN,—I beg to return you my heartfelt thanks for the numerous promises of support you have given me since I have announced to you my determination of offering my services at the Council -Board but-having learned that some interes'ed parties have industriously circulated the report that I am made a tool of by my friends, I beg to tell you, Gen- tlemen, that I should consider myself unworthy of your confidence were I to allow myself to become the tool of any person or persons, either in or out of the Council. I have to assure you, Gentlemen, that my sole object is to add to the prosperity of the Borough-to endea- vour to reduce the exorbitant Rates-to keep in the pockets of our poor Ratepayers that which hitherto has found its way into the hands of Civil Engineers and others, who have no legitimate claim, in my opinion, upon your purses. Rely upon it, Brother Ratepayers, that I will give you the opportunity to record your votes in my favour, should you deem me worthy of your confidence. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BATESON. Newport, October 7th, 1856. [773 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—It has been announced by two of your representatives at the Council Board, that they purpose retiring at the expiration of their term of office. You, therefore, require others to fill the places of the retiring Councillors. Three of our fellow-townsmen are before you allow me to announce myself as a fourth Candidate. Twenty-five years have elapsed since I became identi- fied with the interests of this Borough. I am now most anxious to knew something respecting our heavy local taxation, so as to be enabled to inform my fellow-rate- payers what becomes of the money collected. This I can only do by your placing me|in a position to examine minntely the Pounds, Shillings, and Pence matters of the Borough. Economy is imperatively called for; and the question recently brought under the consideration of the Council, with regard to paying the Magistrates' Clerk by a salary instead of by fees, seems to present a fair oppor. tunity.for retrenchment. This point ought to be promptly and fearlessly dealt with by the Council. If you think that you may safely intrust me with the important duty of representing your interests, elect me if you think otherwisej reject me. Respectfullv soliciting your suffrages, I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, JOHN ROGERS. Dock-street, Newport, Oct. 13th, 1856. [813 BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE NORTH WARD.

TO THE BURGESSES OF THE WEST WARD. 1 ENTLEMEN,—A3 my term of office, as AJT a Member of the Town Council, will expire on the First of November next, I have only to observe, that, if my conduct in the Council, during the period I have been honoured with your confidence, is such as to meet with your approval, I shall have pleasure in again offering myself for re-election. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful servant, October 9th, 1856. THOS. M. LLEWELLIN. [796 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE WEST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—Six Years ago you did me the honour of Electing me one of your represen- tatives, and my second term of office will expire on the First of November next. I beg to intimate my intention to solicit a renewal of your confidence and, should you be pleased to Re-elect me, I shall consider it my duty to attend to the interests of the Ratepayers, and at all times to advocate retrench- ment in the several matters connected with the expen- dituie of the public funds. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, THOMAS FLOYDE LEWIS. Commercial-road, Newport, Oct. 9th, 1856. [766 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE WEST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—A requisition of the Elec- tors of the West Ward has been handed to me, re- questing that I would allow myself to be put in nomina- tion to represent them and their objects at the Council Board of this. Borough. I should feel myself wanting in respect and gratitude to the requisitionists,did I not assent to their wishes. A residence of above forty ycfcrtiiu the town, and a general knowledge of its interests and requirements, may give me some claim to the favourable consideration of my townsmen, and I would respectfully intimate to the Electors of the Ward, that should they think proper to carry me successfully through the contest, whatever knowledge of bcal affairs, and any influence I may pos- sess, shall be sedulously devoted to their service, as far as my business avocations will permit. I must, how- ever, be allowed to add, that if I have the honour of being returned to the Council, it must be in a perfectly free and independent manner, and without any expense beyond the legitimate incidental outlay: this, I think, is the only proper position in which the Electors and their representative should stand with regard to each other. I am. Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, CORNELIUS EVANS. Newport, October 21st, 1856. Y Dtrraig Gorb a NtgiB ffigrijtosrr. [822 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE WEST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—It was not my intention to offer myself as a Candidate for municipal honours at the ensuing Election, but a requisition for that purpose, signed by a large number of Burgesses, having been pre- sented to me, I feel it my duty to comply therewith. Having been a resident in the town for upwards of sixteen years, and during a great portion of that time watched with interest and anxiety the proceedings of the Council Board, and taken an active part in saving our town from being committed to extravagant and unne- cessary expenses, I feel assured you are sufficiently acquainted with my principles and character; and should you do me the honour of electing me to a seat at the Municipal Board, it shall still be my utmost endea- vour to benefit my fellow-townsmen, and thereby merit the confidence you may place in me. It is necessary for me to add, that I will not dis- honour you by resorting to any of the low and degrading practices of late adopted to secure seats at the Newport Couucil Board. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, LAWRENCE B. MOORE. Dated Newport, October 21st, 1856. [821 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—My last term of office, as your Representative, expires on the First of No- vember, having had the honour of a seat at your Council Board for Twelve Years. During that period II have endeavoured, to the best of my ability, to discharge the duties of the office, and I trust and believe that my con- duct generally has given satisfaction to my fellow- ownsmen. I am, therefore, encouraged again to seek a renewal of the confidence you have hitherto placed n me; and, if elected, I shall, as in past years, devote my best efforts to promote the interests of the town of my b.rth. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM EVANS. Newport, 10th October, 1856. [795 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—As Two of the Members of the Town Council for this Ward have signified their intention of not again presenting themselves for re-election on the.Ist proximo, I have been requested by a large and influential body of my Brother Burgesses, to offer myself as a Candidate to supply one of the va- cancies occasioned by such retirement. I deem it a duty to comply with that request. As I am a man of deeds, and not of words, I shall content myself by stating, that should you honour me by returning me as your Representative at the Council Board, it will be my constant endeavour to prove myself an uncompromising advocate of your united Interests. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ,T JOHN HYNDMAN. Newport, October 9tb, 1856. [777. BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD.
