Election Notices. TO THE ELECTORS OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l bos to announce myself as a Candidate for Re-election. JOS. A. TOLE. Wellington, August 7th, 1870. rriO THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. At the request of the Party, and -with the consent o£ many of my supporters for Waitemata, I havo agreed to withdraw from my candidature for that constituency, and now seek the honour of representing 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 bost assurance of success, I have been solely influenced by a desire to as3ist the party in securing the return of as many members as possible pledged to support our common interests. I have no doubt you havo all seen my published addresses to the Waitemata Electors. It is, therefore, unnecessary that 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. ik/fOls GONUI AND BAY OF ISLANDS .lvJl ELECTORAL DISTRICT. TO THE ELECTORS. Gentlemen,—l am a Candidate for your Suffrages in the coming Election, and shall tako 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 noverbeen declared, I think it right in soliciting your suffrages at once, though briefly togivean indication of what my opinions are on some of these questions, leaving a 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 Representati?e, I shall endeavour to secure a more equitable distribution cf 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 the basis of population. I cDDsider that tho Native Department should eithor be abolished, or much reduced. That tho Land Purchase Department should be entirely abolished after completing some of tho most important purchases now in progress, after which the Government should purchase no land for revenue purposes. That every facility should be afforded to Natives, by advancing the necessary funds and otherwise, to havo their land surveyed and their titles individualised. That ample reserves should be made for the Natives, and that tho remainder bo sold or leased by auction through the Waste Lands Board of tho District, at the request of the Nativn owners, and offered at such upjet price as may in each case bo fixed by them. That an cut valorem duty on every first disposal of suoh land? bo paid by tho purchaser or lessee, in consideration of value given to such lands by immigration and public works. I am opposed to the proposal to abolish multiplo voting at Local Elections, and to the Maor dual vote. I approve of tho present system of secular education; of imposing a tax upon uncultivated land held for speculative purposes; of rating Government unoccupied lacd for local works; of promoting the settlement of tho 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 Ministry; of Triennial Parliaments; of a member addressing his constituency during the recess, and resigning hia seat when he finds that he has ceasoi to represent them. I approvo of the Auckland members of the Houso of Representatives agreeing to sink all minor differences consulting together upon questions affecting the interests of the North, and (unless in cases in which principle is involved) unitedly taking such action as tho majority may decide upon. J. MoCOSH CLARK. mo THE ELECTORS AND NONELECTORS OF MARSDEN. Gkntlkmen, —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 dufy ta accede to the request. It Is quite true I havo not long been acquainted with colonial politics, or the needs of a now coutry like New Zealand, but since the first day of my landing on these shores, I have never failed to tako dn aoi ive part in forwarding what I believe to bo tho best interests of the Colony gonerallr. ani more especially the County of Marsden, in whioh 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 havo not waited until you sent mo to Parliament before using my best endeavours in that direction, and trust that the nature of them is a suffloiont 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 ono 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 unmindfull of othor matters—and willing to assist in general legislation to tho bost of my ability—l should not havo accented the position in whfch you flnd me. had it not been that I think it my duty to attempt to wrest from whatever Ministry may bo 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, bnt intend to visit each district, and in person explain more fully my views on the soveral questions which at present agitate the publiclmind. On tho subject of party I cannot consent to be returned plodgcd tbo blind follower of either of tho two at present forming the Ministry, and tho Opposition, but I accept in its main features tho policy shadowed forth in the Governor's speech at the opening of Parliament. Nevertheless I do pledge myself to cooperate and work with tho Auokland 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 tho interests of our County of Marsden. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. H. COLBECK. Te Ratapu, Kaipara. mo THE ELECTORS OF WAIPAGentlemen,—l have the honor to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages.
