Having received the nnanimons nomination of the largecst and most inflnenti^ Conserva- tive Convention ever held in the Riding, which met in October last, and having since received the most encooragiug assurance, of support from the electors generally, I beg most respectfully to announce that I feel it my duty to accede to their wishes and ac%pt such nomination. I have been a resident of the Riding for thirty-eight years. During the greater part of that period I have been, more or less, actively engaged in the administration of your municipal affairs and while occupying prominent positions of trust in your County Council I haye invariably been guided by a desire to protect and promote your interests. My long residence in the Hiding and prac- tical knowledge of the working of our municipal institutions ensbie me the more readily to anticipate your special require- ments, represent your grievances and obtaiu relief trom oppressive legislation. If elected as your representative, I will endeavor faithfully to discharge my duty by giving effect to wholesome legislation and wil^ ad- viKsate a more economical admimstratiun of the finances and of the Crown domain. As there is not space in a short address to fully explain my yiews I shall endeavor to attend meetings in the various Townships of the Biding before the elections and there discuss in detail the various questio/is now before the people. In conclusion, I shall advocate equal lights and privileges to aU classes and creeds of Her Majesty's subjects. Being a resident of the Riding and like many of yourselves engaged in farming operations, our interests are identical I shall do my best to advance them. Relying on your cordial and generous sup- port to elect me as your representative I have theh.mor to bo. Gentlemen, Your obedient servjxnt, JOSEPH EORKE. Clarksburg, Nov. 26, 1886. â- j'HiL.
