Election Notices- : ' mo THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON;; Gentlemew,—At the last General Ejection I made you the following address:—; y, , .^ r .', ~' "Having; reason to believe that If airly repre-. | sented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself. as a Candidate for re-olection. ; . . . so! There is nothing I can say that will enable you,: to know more of me than you do now, as I am ond have been personally known for many ysora to nearly all of you. As to what ia to be done now, I say, let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely we.who know, and are interested, can do bo1 better than those who neltber know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. IE you see fit to elect mo, my conduct will'be the same in the future as it has been in the past —an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Mefilbers; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to put power into tho hands of the people not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them." Times have changed, but I consider this line of conduct as applicable now as then. WM. SWANSON TjIRANKLIN ELECTORS. Electors of Franklin! pray attend to my voice,: •' And a wrinkle Til give you in making yonr . Choice Of the candidates tour who your suffrages ask, And in Government sunshine are longing to 1 bask. Mr. Bucldand is young and can bowl at threo sticks, But his forte just at pre*ent is not politics; This ".Out-and-out A ucklonder," I think, 1b too green— At cricket with boys his "level best" maybe seen, I will now introduce you to Mr. R. Hobbs • As a turncoat and one of the genus called "Snoba;" '" He at first was for Grey, but he ratted for Fox— At the poll he will find himself in the wrong box. Messrs. Hamlin and Harris are gent'omen true, And by voting for them yourplaindutyyon'U do. • From your humble servant, ;■ , . PRO BONO PUB. mO TEE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. ; Gentlemen,— \ ,1 am a Candidate to represent your interests in Parliament. I accept the Liberal principles announced In the Governor's Speech on opening tho late Session, and Sir George Grey as the. Leader of the Hberal Party. I will advertise the places at which I will addreßS you and the dates. Your obedient Servant, ' READER G. WOOD. August 15,1879. : , r^ LECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Do not bo duped by tricks of the enemy. The issue before the Constituency is olear confidence or not, in the Policy of the present Government. I have stated that if a no-confidence motion is taked against them, I will vote for the Government—that is plain; wherefore another Candidate in no way connected with the District? Be true to your interests, and vote for W. J. HURST. mO THE ELECTORS AND NONELECTORS OF MARSDEN. Gentlemen,— Having received a requisition from several parts of the Electorate, asking me to offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the Colonial Parliament, I have felt it my duty to accede to the request. It is quite true I hove not long been acquainted with colonial politics, or the needs of a new coutry like New Zealand, but since the flret day of my landing on these shores, I have never failed to take an active part in forwarding what ; I believe to be tho b_st interests of the Colony generall/,and more especially the County of Marsden, in which I live. To many of you. I am only known by my connection with works intended to promote -the interests and well-being of this Electorate, and have not waited v ntil you sent me to Parliament beforo using my best endeavours in that direction, and ttust that the nature of them is a sufficient evidence that I have the welfare of the district at hearr, and am worthy of your support, I am confidently of opinion that it is a fact, and one easily to be proved that Auckland, and especially North Auckland, has been shamefully neflected and wronged in the matter of Publio Works. Therefore, whilst not nnmindfoil of other matters—ond willing to assist in general legislation'to the best of my ability—l should not | have accepted the position in whfch you find me. hod It not becnthat I think it my duty to attempt to wrest from whatever Ministry may bo in power, that justice for North Auckland which has hitherto been denied it. My political views I cannot indicate in a brief address: like this, bat intend to visit each district, and in person explain more fully my views on the several questions which at present agitate the publicftnind, On tho subject of party I cannot consent to be re turned pledged tho blind follower of either of the two at present forming the Ministry, and the Opposition, but I accept in its main feature. the polioy shadowed forth in the Governor's speech at the opening of Parliament. Never- , theles^ I do pledge myself to co-operate and . work'with the Auoljland Party, and do my nest to keep that an united body. Assuring you that, whether in drout of Parliament, I shall always work earnestly to promote the interests of our County of Marsden,;. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, V.. H. COLBECK. To Ratapu, Kaipara. mO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY DISTRICT. Gentlemen,—Br view of the approaching dissolution,'and in response to many requests, I have tho honour to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of your district. With the wants of your district I am tolerably well acquainted, but I shall take the earliest opportunity of visiting you in person, that I may be able, if you return me to Parliament, to present those wants before the Government and tho Assembly. My views in regard to.the great Constitutional questions now before the country are, I telieve well known. lam in favour of a broad and liberal franchise, of triennial Parliaments, of representation according to population, making a liberal allowance for the difference between tho towns and tho country districts; of a just expenditure ot publio money upon public works; of such a scheme of taxation as will relievo tbo true working classes, such as small farmers, tradesmen, artisans, and labourers, of burdens which aro now unfairly placed upon them, I shall alao support such a method of dealing with Crown and native lands as will afford the greatest facilities for true settlement, in small holdings, on deferred payments. I shall, if elected, continually attempt to obtain that justice for the North in the prosecution of railways, roads, and other publio works, which onr part of New Zealand has hitherto boen denied. I intend visiting you at the earliost possible moment, and declare my opinions face to face. I remain, gentlemen, Yonra respectfully, SEYMOUR THORNE GEOR GK. Groceries, &o.
