Leahy And 80 other Electors. f^i ENTLEMEN,— When first asked to VJT offer myself for the seat vacated by Coun cillor Dickson. I said " No," simply because I could not spare two or three afternoons weekly from my business, and thereto; c I could not honestly accept your offer, fearing that I could not always discharge the duties belonging to said office. Since then, I am happy to inform you (because I feel sure it is a step in the right direction, as it will offer facilities for electors to attend the meetings of the Council as well as the Councillors) that it is not only possible, but very probable, the Council meetings will beheld in the evening. It is distinctly with this under standing that I now come before you, either for acceptance or rejection. Should you return me, Gentlemen, and I trust every one of you will do your very best to do co, I promise you faithfulness, diligence, and honesty of purpose throughout, without a single person to serve, and having only the public interest in view, and with no personal obiect or purpose to go in for. Should 1 be rejected, then, all I ask is, let us sail along together, good friends as before. I remain, faithfully in your hands, W. CROWTHER. /^ITY COUNCIL ELECTION. TO CAPTAIN J. CASEY.
