Gentlemen,— I desire to offer my acknowledgments and best thanlis to the 1,118 Electors, who, by recording their votes for meat the recent Election, have manifested their approbation of my political principles, and justified nsy candidature. Although the result of the contest lias been unfavour- able, 'occurring, as it did, upon a Registor for so many years wholly neglected by our party, whilst assiduously attende-1 to by our opponents, it allows no room what- ever for a doubt that the moment this neglect shall have been repaired, this constituency will be found represented iu the House of Commons by a Cons«'vitive Member. I recall, with gratification, the generous and courteous reception accorded to me in the course of my shirt canvass /necessarily hurried and imperfect through circumstances beyond my control), and 1 acknowledge with sjreat jjeasorc the general g"->d humour which pervaded the Election, 1 have tho honour to remain gratefully, Your faithful, humble Servant, CA-a'LEUEAGH. yi i i M .chyuUelh, May 10th, 1877. jMS-GU -L.¿vi THOMAS JONES, DECEASED.
