Election Notices. | TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAL KATO DISTRICT. Gentlemen,-I beg to announce that I am a Candidato to represent this District in the Liberal interest.

JOHN LUNDON. fj.o THE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,—l beg to announco that I am again a Candidato to represent you in the General Assembly. JJ. S. MACFARLANE. Auckland, August 11, 1879. mo THE ELECTORS OF THE RODNEY DISTRICT. I have the honor to announco myself as a Candidate to represent your interests in the House of Assembly, HARRY W. FAHNALL. rr.o THE ELECTORS OF THE DISJL TRIOT OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to inform you that I solicit your suffrages to return me as your representative in tjio next Parliament. Having resided amongst you from the foundation of Auckland, and having during a considerable portion of the time taken an active pait in politics, I feel it unnecessary tosaymuch on the subject of my political views, bu thero aro two leading questions now occupy ing much attention, on which I shall say a faw words. For upwards of twenty years Ihavcboenan advocate for reform in our Representative system, and upwards of two years ago, I put my proposals on the subject into the definite form of an Klectoral Bill, which I introduced into the House of Representatives. My proposals included an extension of the franchise to every man who has resided in any Klectoral district for six months, a readjustment of the Klectoral 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 tho Maori double tho voting power of tho European?, as was proposed by tho Government Bill on the subject. On tho all important and engrossing subject of the oducation of the people, my principles aro represented by the Kducation Act now in operation, which I asserted to prepare and get passed by tho Legislature. I will not say that it is incapable of any improvement, but I do most earnestly hopo that tho vigorous efforts which will bo made to destroy its destructive feature;— Free and Secular Kducation—will not be successful. Thero is danger from two powerful but antagonistic parties—those who advocate a Denominational System, and those who desire to introduce a religious clement— thoy will combino in Iheir efforts to destroy tho present systom, and aro thereforo dangerous opponents. It appears to me that tho Act is working so well at presont that until we have furthor experience I deprecate any material alteration, and shall decidedly oppose every proposition, which leads, however insidiously, towards its destruction. I invito 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 Whan. At all these places I shalljbe prepared to afford tho Electors any further information .they may require on tho subjects I havo montionod, and to givo explanations on any other subject on which they may desire to hear my opinions. I reman, Gentlomon, Your obedient servant FRED. WHITAKER. Auckland, August 16,1879. mO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRTCT OF PARNELL. Gentlemen,—l have tho honour to oflbr-my-self again as a Candidato for yonr suffrages. If cleotod, I ehall continue to give a sincero support to tho policy of tho present Ministry, believing it tho policy best calculated to secure for all time the liberties and self-Government of the people of the Colony. When tho measures necessary to give effect to that policy have become law. other questions will demand urgent attention, Foremost among them I place tho absolute necessity of devising somo moans to relieve the General Assembly of a mass of work with which it is now overburdened, work of a character which it is also not fitted to perform. Whatever be tho means adopted for this end, I am satisfied they will not succeed unless based on a deliberate policy of decentralisation, without which wo shall in vaiu strive for prompt and effective or economical administration. The Finance of tho Colony will forco itself on tho attention of tho next Assembly, and will raisa in connection w_|h it gravo questions affecting the incidence of taxation. In con nection with taxation, I shall ba always foundsupporting measures that will distribute the burden fairly, and, as far as possible, compel every ono to pay in proportion to tho wealth ho enjqys under protection of tho Government which that taxation maintains. I need not say that I shall be always ready in the future, as in the past, to unite cordially with tho other members of the Provinolal District in seeing justice done to the Provinoe, and in advancing its local interests wherever they aro specially concerned. I hope to have an early opportunity of laying my views more fully before you. 1 am, Gentlomen, Yours faithfully, FREDERICK J. MOSS. mo THE ELECT*. RSOF ONEUUNGA. Gentlemen,—The trust which you confided in me 19 years ago, and uninterruptedly renewed since then is about to revert to you. In the hopo that my past services have met your approval, I respectfully solicit your suffrages at tho coming clcctipn, and hope to meet you next week. I am, Gentlemen, . ■. "■ Yours obediently, G.
