Sir, The Office of Principal Land Sea-Coal Meter having become vacant by the death of Mr. R. Dixon, and being encouraged by many very sincere and respectable friends, I presume to offer myself a candidate, and earnestly to solicit the favour of your vote and interest, to succeed to that appointment. The respectable Inhabitants of the Ward of Bridge, did me the Honour during Twenty-Eight successive Years, to elect me one of their Representatives in Common-Council. I have discharged the Duties of that Appointment with all possible Fidelity and Attention, and, during a much longer Period, have carried on an extensive Trade in the Woolen Manufacture. But some very severe and unforeseen Losses, with a large Family, for whose Welfare I am justly anxious, will, I trust, apologize for my earnest Solicitations to your Patronage. Should I, Sir, honoured with your Support, fortunately attain the Object of my present Pursuit, it will be the chief Study of my Life to prove myself worthy of your Choice, by a faithful and diligent Discharge of the Duties of that important Office, for the general Welfare of this great City. I have the Honour to be, Sir, With the greatest Respect, Your most faithful and obedient Servant, William Anderson. Gracechurch-Street, October 21, 1799.

To the worthy & independent freemen of the city of York. Gentlemen, before you engage your Votes and Interest to Lord Gallway and his new Friend, be so good as to put the following plain Questions to his Lordship: Has your Lordship made a surer Bargain for your Ambassadorship to Munich than formerly? How soon does your Lordship mean to enter upon your Voyage to the Continent? Do you mean to leave the City of York unrepresented in that Event? Are you to divide your Interest at Pontefract with your Brother canvasser Is it in Gratitude to Mr. Milnes for not accepting the Offer of the Inhabitants of Pontetract against your Lordship's Burgage-Tenure Interest before the last Election, that you now take him by the Hand at York? As a Friend to a Reform in Parliament, Have you, in Pursuance of your repeated Declarations, given up your Burgage-Tenure Pretensions to Pontetract? Or will you again take the Opinion of another Committee of the House of Commons upon your pretended Right, in direct Contradiction to those Declarations? When does your Lordship mean to fix your Political Character and Principles? Does your Lordship apprehend that Mr. Milnes's studied Harangue for the prerogative of the Crown, and Secret Influence against the Privileges of the People and House of Commons, will recommend your Lordship and him to the Notice of the Independent Freemen of York? When his Lordship gives you satisfactory Answers to these plain Questions, you will do well to give his Lordship such Encouragement as you know his personal Merits and Character, and the Respect with which he treats his Constituents deserve. I am, Gentlemen, with great Truth, a friend to consistency.
