LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, — The great political battle is near at band, and on Thursday next it will be for you to decide by your votes whether you will be represented by an English Tory, or by a Welsh Liberal. From my knowledge of the political views of the large majority of you, and from the hearty reception you have given me through- out this contest, I am confident that you will return me as your Liberal representative by a triumphant majority. I am fighting the people's cause, and I, therefore, feel certain that in your own in- terests you will all on Thursday next record your votes in ac .ordance with your principles and convictions, and thus gain such a grand Liberal and Nonconformist victory as will in itself deter the Conservative party from ever again attempting to thrust upon this Radical constituency a Tory candidate. I am. Your obedient servant, WALTER H. MORGAN. LOCAL GOVERN .VIENT ACT, 1888. County Council Election TO THE VOTERS IN THE ELECTORAL DIVISION OF THE Graig & Treforest Wards. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, In January next you will be called upon for the first time to elect one Member to represent yoo. upon the Glamorgan County Council. In compliance with the wishes of a considerable number of influential ratepayers in this district, I have consented to become a oandidate for your Suffrages. The duties devolving on the County Council will necessarily be very great and responsible, as the greater part of the non-judioial business hitherto transaoted by the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions, with other important matters, will henceforth be administered under the provisions of the Local Government Act. I am deeply oonvinoed that the utmost care and discretion should be exercised by you in the choice of a fit representative, who should be characterized by sound judgment, be practically acquainted with public matters generally, and be willing and able to devote a great deal of time to look after your intert sta. Through having been entrusted with the honour of representing you on the Local Board for nearly fifteen years, and also on the Llantwit Fardre School Board for a similar period, as well as being an Overseer for the Parish of Llantwit Fardre for seven years, and for several years as a Member of the Board of Gaardians, I have gained aa intimate acquaintance with local administrative business. An most of ycu are aware, I have lived in the town nearly all my lifetime. I am a heavy rate- payer,and have always been of opinion that matters involving the outlay of a large expenditure of public money should not be undertaken until the views of the ratepayers could be ascertained, and I shall firmly pursue this policy if elected aa a Councillor. The movement to locate the future sittings of the Council and Quarter Sessions at Poatypridd has my hearty approval, and I assure you no effort will be spared on my part to secure what would undoubtedly add greatly to the importance of the town, and prove a boon to the inhabitants of this populously surrounded district. The trust, again and again renewed, which you have plaoed in me in the past, encourages me to hope that I shall be farther considered worthy to represent you in a more responsible sphere. Should you favour me with your confidence, you may rest assured I would discharge the onerous duties entrusted to me fearlessly, diligently, and to the beat of my ability, having due regard to the interests of all classes irrespective of politics, and especially would it be my oonstant aim to promote and protect tLe welfare and prosperity of my own district whenever and wherever oalled I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, DAVID LEYSHON.
