In June last, after the meetings in reference to the French Shore grievance^ I announced mj intention of offering myself at the General Election now peading, as a Candidate for the representation of this important District in the House of Assembly. The law demands two years' residence in the island, next preceding the Election, as part of the necessary qualificatM>n. ^ As my residence in the Island has not been of a continuous character, I find myself disqualified, and have no alternative but to withdraw from the contest. I beg respectfully to tender my warm and sincere thanks to those friends who favoured my candida- ture, and trust we shall yet see the day when Newfound- land fishermeA sure free to fish in all the waters of this Island free from the encroachments of the foreigner, and when the Magistrates and Courts of Justice of this Colony will be recognized as the only legal tribunals. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, G. ALLEN. • Harbor Grace, October 25, 1893.
