REASONS for not choofing Lord HOOD. Because he is not, nor ever was, of any party or faction. Because he has been fecond in command, in the most glorious sea fight, that ever happened in the annals of England. Because he preferved the British islands in the Weft-Indies, from falling a prey to a fuperior French fleet. Because he was in poffeffion of the command of a fleet before Lord Keppel was made a Vifcount, and First Lord of the Admiralty, for not fighting the French fleet on the 27th of July, 1778. REASONS for choofing Sir CECIL WRAY. Because Mr. William Pitt refused to become a TooL of the Weftminster Committee. Because Sir Cecil ferved his country for three years as a Captain of militia. Because the borough of Retford in Nottinghamshire refufed to choose any longer a person of known republican principles. Because a Secretary of State takes a new method of abolishing the influence of the Crown in matters of Election. Because it is improper that either of the Members for the city of Westminster should have a farthing of property in that city. ADVERTISEMENT. To the Worthy Electors of Westminster. The early appearance of the friends of Lord Hood and Sir Cecil Wray is earnestly requested this morning at the place of Election in Covent Garden.. April rft, 1784. ADVERTISEMENT.. The worthy Efectors of Westminster, in the intereft of Lord Hood and Sir Cecil: Wray, are refpectfully acquainted, that Suffolk's Auction Rooms, (late Barford's) under the Piazza, Covent Garden, and Patterson's Auction Rooms, in King-street, are opened for their reception during the Poll, April 1st, 1784. ADVERTISEMENT. The libel and forgery contained in an advertisement of yesterday, dated Wood's Hotel, in the name of Lord Hood's and Sir Cecil Wray's Committee, and figned John Churchill, betray a total want of principle and honour, and fairly come within the reach of the law. law. But independently of any law procefs which may hereafter take place, the falfe reafoning that this advertisement holds out to the public, really fhews a want of good fenfe, as the intention or tendency of it fhews a want of manly probity. Because the Committee did not hear Sir Cecil Wray deliver his opinion respecting Chelsea Hospital in the Houfe of Commons, they could not hear him deliver the very fame words in the Committee Room. And becaufe they could not form a judgment of a speech spoken in Parliament where they were not prefent, the Committee could not poffibly form any juft judgment of the very fame fpeech fpoken in a room where they were prefent. Fallacious logic furely! and must be feen through by every honeft mind. This speech was very minutely confidered by the Committee! and what it may want in elegance, was unanimously thought to be fully made up by integrity of defign, and utility of purpose; infomuch that this circumftance, which at first appeared to injure Sir Cecil Wray in his Election, has most justly affifted him in it, and made his fuccefs, from probable, become certain. April 1. ADVERTISEMENT. Part of the Etiquette to be observed in Covent Garden this Day. No Irish chairmen are to be fuffered to come within fight of the huftings. Ten millions of hand-bills are to be difperfed to misrepresent what Sir Cecil Wray faid of Chelsea Hospital. Several specimens of a poifoned bag are to be exhibited, but without any further defign of mortality than what naturally befals a defeated Candidate. April 1, 1784.
