Election Notices. rpO THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Gentlemen,—At the last General Election I made you the following address :— " Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in.Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-oleotion. There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of mo than you do now, aa I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. ■As to what is 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 so hotter than those who neither know nor care, and whoso interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will bo 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 Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to pot power into the hands of the people not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them." Times have" changes, but 1 consider this line of conduct as applicable now as then. WM. SWANSON mo THE ELECTOKS OF WAITKMATA. Gentlemen,— I am a Candidate to represent your interests in Parliament. T accept the Liberal principles announced in the Governor's Speech on opening the late Session, and Sir George Grey a3 the Leader of the Liberal Party. I ■will advertise the places at which I will address you and the dates. Your obedient Servant, READER G. WOOD. August 15,1879. OLECTOES OF WAITEMATA. Do not be duped by tricks of the enemy. The issue before, the Constituency is clear 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 have not long been acquainted with colonial politics, or the needs of a new coutry like New Zealand, but since the first day of my landing on these shores, I have never f 'tiled to take an active part in forwarding what I believe to bo the b:st interests of the Colony generallj, 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 until you sent me to Parliament before using my best endeavours in that direction, and trust that tho nature of them is a sufficient evidence that I have the welfare of tho district at heart, 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 neplected and wronged in the matter of Public Works. Therefore, whilst not unmindfoll of other matters—and willing to assist in general legislation to the best of my ability—l should not have acceuted the position in whfch you find me. had it not been that I think it my duty to attempt to wrest from whatever Ministry may be in power, that justice for North Auckland which has hitherto been denied it. My political views I cannot indicate in a brief address liko this, bat intend to visit each district, and in person explain more fully my views on the several questions which at present agitato the publiclniind. On tho subject of party I cannot consent to be returned pledged the blind follower of either of the two at present forming the Ministry, and tho Opposition, but I accept in its main features the policy shadowed forth in the Governor's speech at the opening of Parliament. Nevertheless, I do pledge myself to cooperate and work with the Auckland Party, and do my best to keep that an united body. Assuring you that, whether In or out of Parliament, I shall always work earnestly to promote the interests of our County of Mareden. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, Vk. H. COLBECK. To Ratapn, Kaipara. mo THE ELECTOES OF EODNEY DISTRICT. Gentlemen,—ln 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 tho 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 re! urn me to Parliament, to present those wants before tho Government and the Assembly. My views in regard to the great Constitutional questions now before theconntry are, I believo well known. lam in favour of a broad sn<J liberal franohiso, of triennial Parliaments, of representation according to population, making a liberal allowance for the difference botweea the towna and the country districts; of a just expenditure of public money upon public works; of such a scheme of taxation as will relieve the true working classes, such as small farmers, tradesmen, artisans, and labourers, of burdens which are now unfairly placed upon them. I shall also 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 tho North in the prosecution of railways, roads, and other public works, which our part of New Zealand has hitherto been denied. I intend visiting you at the earliost possible moment, and declare my opinions face to face. I remain, gentlemen, Yours respectfully, SEYMOUR THORNK GKORGK. mo THE ELECTOKS OF ONEHUNGA. Gentlemen,—ln compliance with the request of a number of Electors, I announce myeelt as a Candidate for your suffrages, and shall take an early opportunity of placing my Political views before you. I will for tho present content myself with. stating that I shall support the Liboral views of Sir George Grey onunciated in the Governor's Speech. Yours, faithfully, ROBERT GRAHAM. "OOST-OFFICE.
