GENTLEMEN, mHE present Parliament will this day be dissolved, and I lose no time in intimating to you that it is my intention to place my services aga:D at your disposal, and I respectfully solicit a renewal of your confidence. I still hold the principles upon which you elected me in 1868, and have, therefore, no fresh political belief to pro- pound to you. If it be your pleasure to re-elect me as your Representa- tive in Parliament, I shall continue to give general sup- port to a Liberal Government. I hope at an early date to have an opportunity to explain my views more fully to you And am. Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant. EVAN M. RICHARDS. Brooklands, 26th January, 1874. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GENTLEMEN :— I beg to offer myself as a Candidate to represent you in the next Parliament. i I am a Liberal Conservative in politics, and a lover of out old Constitution, which I desire to maintain uniun- paired. II If returned, I should vote for the re-adjustment of Local Taxation, which is at present a grievous burden on the farming interests. [• I am in favour of a Modification of the Income Tax (which should be regarded as a war tax) with a Tiew t^ it8 ultimate extinction. | I am an advocate for the Education of the People; but consider that the expense of Education should be tnore equally distributed than it is by the Education Act of 1870, and should include property not now rated. I am in favour of the Bible being read in Elementary Schools, considering the Bible the root of all moral teach- ing, while at the same time I do not desire that the teaching of the dogmas or creeds of any Denomination should be enforced in Elementary Schools. Mr Gladstone's Government, while deprecating War, and paying three million and a half of the taxnavera' money to the United States as a peace tax, rushes into an unjust war with savages in Africa, the cost of which in life and money no one can foresee. This war was never autho- rized by Parliament. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful Servant, THOS. E. LLOYD. Coedmore, Cardigan, February 3rd, 1874. f6 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN.

I may also be permitted to acknowledge the wisdom of our friends who are politically opposed to us in the County for having spared you the inconvenience of a contest, when the result could not be doubtful. or .t A neea scarcely say mac 1 will endeavour by my conduct in Parliament to justify the confidence which has been re posed in me, and as regards the non-political interests of the County I shall look forward to serving all classes in it without distinction, to the best of my humble ability. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very faithful and obliged servant, SAMUEL HOLLAND. Glanwilliam, 31st January, 1874. TO THE ELECTORS OF CARDIGAN, ABERYSTWYTH, LAMPETER, AND ADPAR.
