| Summary: | In preparation for the 1841 general election, candidates William Barker and Cornwallis Maude publish two letters [in two separate columns on this sheet] to those eligible to vote in County Tipperary; the second, composed by Maude is a poem. First stanza of Maude's poem reads: 'Eboldened by assurances of strenuous support, which I got from the landlords to whom I paid my court; for the tenants votes are not their own, and if they shall presume to think so, they are rebel serfs, the slaves of haughty Rome, I therefore am a candidate, and trust I shall not vary from the course my ancestors pursued when sitting for Tipperary'. First line of Barker's text reads: 'Once again I have the honor to claim; your suffrages for th distinguished post of being your representative in the ensuing parliament.' |
