Special Advertisements. mO THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CJT¥ BiS1?. GStrt'r.'iSHEN,—As my Views on many o important questions now Before'ttio publics lia o never been'declared, I think it tightin soliciting your suffrages at &nC6, though briefly to givo an indication of What my opinions are on some o£ thcao Questions, leaving a more complete.exposition to the time when I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you faco to face. Should you do me the fconbWroi'selecting mo as your KeprorontaUvo, I shall endeavour to seeuro ■& more equitable distribution of Loans for Immigration and Publio Works, and for Auckland some compensation for pastilyVtattco alsr), a division of grants for schoql bnSKungß in proportion to the necessHlcVci educational districts rather thpuor, tho basis of population. 1 coosrdcr that the Native Department should e''tkor bn abolished, or much reduced. That tho Land Purchase Department should be entirely abolished after complefng some o£ th". most important purchases now in progress, after which tho Government should purchase no lund for revenue purposes, That ovcry fae'lity Rhould bo attoi'dcd to Natives, by advancing tho iiccessary funds nnd clherwise, to iiitvo their land surveyed and their titlea individualised. 'i'hatamplo reserves should bo madofortho Nntives, and that I ho remainder bo sold or leased by auction through tho Waste lands Board of tho District, at tha request of tho Nativoownofs, and oft'erod at such upset price as mf.y in each caso be fixed by theaii l*hat an ad Valorem duty on every first disposal of such lauds bo paid by the purchaser Or lesaoe, in consideration of value given to such lands by immigration and piblic >voiks. I am opposed to the proposal tb abolißh Multiple voting at Local Elections, and to the Maor dual vote. I approve of tho present system of secular education; of imposing a tax tipoh uncultivated lnnd held for speculative purposes ( of rating Government unoccupied lard for local works; of promoting tho settlement of tho country by Belling Government lands on the Bystem of deferred payments and occupation ; of manhood suffrage, with a residential qualification; of sending members of the House to their constituencies, when they join a Minis:ry; of Triennial Parliaments; of a member addressing his constituency during the recess, and resigning his Beat when he finds that he has ceased to reprcsout them. I approve of the Auckland members of tho House of Representatives agreeing to sink all minor differences consulting together upon questions affecting tho interests of the North, and (unless in cases in which principle is involved) unitedly taking such action as the majority may decide upon.
