To the Electors of t 
 Riding of Norfolk : 
 
 South 
 
 Gentlemen, — ,, 
 
 On the 29tli of January last, I was elected by a majority 
 of your suffrages to represent you in the Parliament of the Dominion. In 
 common with many others, my election has been voided, because of illegal 
 acts on the part of Agents, for whom the law holds me responsible ; but my 
 opponents, having no reason to believe that I had authorized or was cognizant 
 of such acts, made no attempt to press any personal charges against me, and 
 the Judge honorably exonerated me from all blame. 
 
 Believing that a most rigid scrutiny would have still left me a majority 
 over my opponent, Mr. Lawson, and that I was therefore the free choice of 
 the people on that occasion, I can appeal to you now with the utmost confi- 
 dence for re-election. • 
 
 In the few months that have passed since last election, the political situ- 
 ation has not materially chnnged. The great issue on which you are called 
 upon to vote is still the same. But you have this advantage now in judging 
 between the parties claiming your suffrages which you had not before. You 
 have had some experience of the present Government and their manner of 
 conducting public affairs, and you can more readily compare them with their 
 predecessors. I feel sure that your verdict will be the same as that of every 
 other Constituency that has, as yet, had the opportunity of pronouncing judg- 
 ment, namely : That the Governmeut of Mr. McKenzie deserves the sup- 
 port and confidence of the people of Canada. 
 
 The Keformers of Soutli Norfolk having again done me the honor of nom- 
 inating me to be their candidate, I respectfully ask for the support of every 
 friend of good Government. . 
 
 My principles are the same, and I renew every pledge I gave you in 
 January. 
 
 I am strongly in favor of a Eeciprocity Treaty with the United States 
 which will put us on au equal footing with them, and shall therefore, if hon- 
 ored with your suffrages, give the present draft of Treaty or any other measure 
 that will secure for us commercial relations with the States, my moot earnest 
 consideration when it comes before the House. 
 
 I regret that a prolonged absence from the Country this summer prevent- 
 ed me fiom visiting and increasing my too limited acquaintance with you, as I 
 would have v. ished to do, but I hope between now and polling day to meet 
 with most of you, and to confer with you personally, on the various public 
 questions of the day. 
 
 I am 
 
 Your ob't servant, 
 
 Hamilton, November 25th, 1874. 
 
 JOHN STUART.
