Election Notices, mo THE ELECTORS OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l beg to announce myself as a Candidate for Re-election, JOS. A. TOLE. Wellington, August 7tli, 1879. mo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND JL . CITY WEST. At the request ot the Party, and with the consent of many of my supporters for Waitemata,; I have agreed to withdraw from my candidature for that constituency, and now seek the honour of rcpre3ontiiiK you in the next Parliament. In withdrawing from the contest for a District in which I myself reside, and for the honour of representing which I had the very best aesurance of success, I have been solely influenced by a desire to assist the party in seeuriug the return of as many members ai possible pledged to support our common interests. I have no doubt you have all seen my published addresses to the Waitemala Electors. It is, therefore, unnecessary tbat I should repeat my profession of political faith especially as opportunities of explaining my* views to you personally will arise.,.!',, I am, Your obedient Servant, . , W. J. HURST. T4/T Oft GONUI AND BAY OF ISLANDS ELECTORAL DISTRICT. TO THE ELECTORS. Gentlemen,—l am a Candidate for your Suffrages in the coming Election, and shall take an early. opportunity to meet you and express my views on Political matters. JOHN LUNDON. mo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND ■ CITY EAST. Gentlemen,—As my views on many of the important questions now before the public have never been declared, I think itrightin soliciting your suffrages at once, though briefly to give an indication ot what my opinions are on some of these questions, leaving t, more complete exposition to the time when I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you face to face. Should you do mo the honour of selecting me as your Representative, I shall endeavour to secure a more equitable distribution of Loans for Immigration and Public Works, and for Auckland some compensation for past injustice also, a division of grants for school buildings in proportion to the necessities of educational districts rather than on tho basis of population. I consider that the Native Department should either bo abolished, or much reduced. That the Land Purchase Department should bo entirely abolished after completing some of the most important purchases now in progress, after which tho Government ahould purchase no land for revenue purposes. That every facility Bhould be afforded to Natives, by advancing the necessary funds and otherwise, to have their land surveyed and their titles individualised. That ample reserves should be made for the Natives, and that the remainder be sold or leased by auction through the Waste lands Board of tho District, at the request of the Native ownors, and offered at such upset price as may in each case be fixed by them. That an ad valorem duty on every first disposal of such lands be paid by the purchaser or lessee, in consideration of value given to such lands by immigration and public works. I am opposed to the proposal to abolish multiple voting at Local Elections, and to the Maor dual vote. I approve of the present system of secular education; of imposing a tax upon uncultivated land held for speculative purposes ; of rating Government unoccupied lard for local works; of promoting the settlement of the country by selling Government lands on the system of deferred payments and occupation ; of manhood suffrage, with a residential qualification; of sending members of the House to their constituencies, when they join a Minis:ry; of Triennial Parliaments; of a member addressing his constituency during the recess, and resigning his seat when ho finds that he has ceasoi to represent them. I approve of the Auckland members of the House ot Representatives agreeing to sink all minor differences consulting together upon questions affecting tho interests of the North, and (unless in cases in which principle is involved) unitedly taking such action as the majority may decide upon. J. McCOSH CLARK. mo THE ELECTORS AND NONELKCTORS OF MARSDEiV. Gentlwmen,— Having received a requisition from several parts of the Electorate, Bsking me to offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the Colonial Parliament, I have felt it my duty to accedo to the request. It Is quite truo I havenotlonft been acquainted with colonial politics, or the needs of a new coutry like New Zealand, but since the first day of my landing on tlieso shores, I have never foiled to tafto an active part in forwarding what I believe to be tho b.-st interests of the Colony generally, 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 tho interests and well-being of this Electorate, and have not waited until you sent me to Parliament botore using my best endeavours in that direction, and t:ust that tho nature of them is a sufficient evidence that I have the welfare of the 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 neglected 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 havo accented 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 like this, but intend to visit each district, and in person explain more fully my views on the several questions which at present agitate the publitfmind. ' On tho subject of party I cannot consent to be returned pledged tho blind follower of either of the two at present forming the Ministry, and tho Opposition, but I accept in its main foatures the policy shadowed forth in the Governor's spcoeh at tho opening of Parliament. Novertholes', I do pledge myself to cooperate and work with tho Auokland Party, and do my best to koep that an united body. Assuring you that, whether in or out of Parliament, I shall always work earnestly to promote the interests ot our County of Marsden. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. H. COLBECK. To Ratapn, Kaipara. TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIPA. Gentlemen,—l have the honor to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages. My views in regard to the questions now agitating tho public mind are known to most of you, as I had the pleasure of meeting you last year on an ■occaaicn similar to the present.
