FARNALL. m() THE ELECTORS OF THE DISJL TitlCT OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to Inform you that I solicit your suffrages to return mo as your representative in the next Parliament, Having resided nmODgst you from the foundation of Auckland, and having during a considerable portion of the timo taken an active part in politics, I feel it unnecessary to say much on tho subject o£ my political views, bu there are two leading questions now occupy ing much attention, on which I shall say a few words. For upwards of twenty years I have been an advocate for reform in our Representative system, and upwards of two years ago, I put my pi-oposals on the subject into the definite form of an Electoral Bill, which I introduced into the Houso of Representatives. My proposals includod an oxtonsion of the franohisa to every man who has resided in any Electoral district for six months, a readjustment of the Electoral Districts, a much improved system of Rogistration, and a spocial 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 tho peoplo, my principles are represented by the Kducation Act now in operation, which I assorted to prepare and get passed by the Legislature. I will not say that it is incapablo of any improvement, but I do most earnestly hope that tho vigorous efforts which will be made to destroy its destructive features—Free and Secular Kducation—will not bo successful. There is danger from two powerful but antagonistic parties—those who advocato a Denominational System, and those who desire to introduce a religious element— they will combine in their efforts to destroy the present system, and are therefore dangerons opponents. It appears to me that the Act is working so well at present that until we have further 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 Fixturos for Panmurc, Eden Terraco, and tho Whau. At all these places I shaikhs prepared to aiFord tho 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. I reman, Gentlemen, Your obedient sorvant FRED. WHITAKER. Auckland. August 16.1579. mO THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. Gentlemen,—l beg to announce myself as a Candidato for Re-election. My political opinions and conduct are well known to yon. I will take an early opportunity of addressing yon, and of advocating tho great principles ot Democratic Liboralism. JAMES WALLIS. TIKANKLIN ELECTORS. Electors of Franklin! pray attend to my voioe, And a wrinkle I'll give you in making your choico Of the candidates four who your suffrages ask, Aud in Government sunshine are longing to bask. Mr. Buckland is j'oung and can bowl at three sticks, But his forto just at present is not politics; This "Out-and-out .aueklander," I think, is 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 " Snobs;" He at first was for Grey, but he ratted for Fox— At the poll he will ilnd himself in tho wrong box. Messrs. Hjmlin and Harris aro gentlemen true, An! bj voting for them your plain duty you'll do. From your humble servant,
