I hare the honor to announce myself as a Candidate to represent your interests in tho House of Assembly. , HARRY W. FARNALL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICT OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l have tho honour to Inform you that I solicit your suffrages to return me as your representative in the next Parliament. Having resided amongst you from the foundation of Auckland, and having during a considerable portion of the timo taken on octive port in politics, I feel it unneeessiry to say much on tho subject of my political views, bu there are two leading questions now occupy ing much attention, on which I shell soy a few words. For upwards of twenty years I have been an advocate for reform in our Representative systom, and upwards of two years ago, I put my proposals on tho subject into the definite form of an Electoral Bill, which I introduced into the House of Reproßontativcs. My proposals included on extension of tho franchise to every man who has 'resided in any Electoral district for six 'months, a readjustment of the Eleotoral Districts, a much improved system of Registration, and-a special Maori Representation in proportion to numbers as'compared with the European Electors, but not giving the Maori double the voting power of tbo European., as was proposed by the Government Bill on the subject. l:,', Oil the all, important and engrossing subject ot the education of the people, my principles are represented by- the Education Act. now in operation, which I asserted to preparo and got passed by the Legislature. I'•will not say that it is incapable of any improvement, but_ do most earnestly hope that tho vigorous efforts which will bo mode to destroy its destructive features—Free aM Secular Education—will not be successful. There is danger from two powerful but antagonistic parties—those who advocate a Denominational System, and those who desire to introduce a religious element— they will combine in their efforts to destroy the present system, and aro therefore dangerous opponents. It appears to me that tho Act is working so well at present that until we have farther experience I deprecate any material alteration, and shall decidedly oppose every proposition, which leads, however insidiously, towards its destruction. I Invite the Electors to meet me at the Newmarket Hall on WEDNESDAY next, at halfpast seven p.m.; and on MONDAY I shall advertise Fixtures for Panmure, Eden Terrace, and the Wliau. At all those placeslshall.be prepared to afford the Electors any further information ; they may require on the subjects I have mentioned, and to give explanations on any other subject on which they may desire to hear my opinions.
