At the urgent request of Sir George Grey's Central Committee I beg to retira from the contest for City West I desire to thank all those electors who volunteored me their vote and interest. I would iast say now that tho paoplo have been awakened in the matter of protection of ''Local Industries." Their cry should never be abated till the fullest justice is done to them in tliis matter. For one, I Ehall always take a deep interest in this right of the people, and use my best endeavour to prevent an influx of Chinese labour into New Zealand. I am, yours, &c, ROBERT MOZLEY STARK.sS mO THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. GentlemenI,—At1,—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 beat to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. There is nothing I can say thatwill enable you to know more of me than you do now, aa I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. A 8 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 better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. If you sco fit to elect me, my conduct will bo the same in tho future as it has been in tho past —an endeavour, as far as possible, to got unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to put power into the hands of the people not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should bo submitted to h em." Times have changed, but I consider this line of conduct as applicable now as then. WM. SWANSON. mo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WHST. Gentlemen,—l beg !to announce myself as a Candidate for Re-election. My political opinions an d conduct aro well known to you. I will take an early opportunity of addressing you, and of advocating the great principles ot Democratic Liberalism. JAMES WALLIS. mo THE ELECTORS OF WAIKATO. Gentlemen,—Having been requested by a largo number of my fellow-settlers, and being influenced by the wish which I believe to bo general that the District should be represented by a local man, whose interests are identified with those of the people whom ho represents, I have determined to become a Candidate for your suffrages at tho coming Election. It i3 my intention to address tho electors at the various centres of population—place, date.and hour to bo advertised—when my views will bo folly explained. In the meantime, however, os reports aro being industriously circulated (I presume for electioneering purposes) prejudicial to my candidature, I wish to state emphatically that I am quite independent of, and will not ba influenced by, any clique or ring; also that, although I cannot consent to be a blind follower of any party or man, I intend to support and ende&vour, to tho best of my ability, to have carried into effect the main features of the Liberal polioy as enunciated by the present Government. Assuring you that, whether as a member of the House of Representatives or as one of your fellow-settlers, I shall always do my utmost for Waikato, and endeavour at all times to put power into the hands of the people—not to dopriv thorn of it,— I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant J.
