Election Notices. TO THE ELECTORS OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—l bog to announce myself as a Candidate for Re-election. JOS. A. TOLE. Wellington, August 7th, 1879. rpo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. At the request of 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 representing you in the next Parliament. In withdrawing from the contest for a District in which I myself reside, and for the honour ot representing which I had the very bast assurance of success, I have been solely influenced by a desire to assist the party in securing the return of as many members as possible pledged to support our common interests. I have no doubt you have all seen my published addresses to the Waitemata Klcctors. 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. HMT ON GONUI AND BAY OF ISLANDS X ELECTORAL DISTRICT. I TO THIS 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. JOBN LUNDON. mo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY EAST. Gentlemen,—As my views on many of tho important questions now before the public have nover been declared, I think it right in soliciting your suffrages at once, though briefly to give an indication ot what my opinions are on Bomo of these questions, leaving a moro complete exposition to the time when I hope to havo the pleasure of meeting you farce to face. Should you do mo tho honour of selecting me as your Representative, I shall endeavour to secure a moro equitable distribution of Loans for Immigration and Public Works, and for Auckland some compensation for past injustice also, a division of grants for Bchool buildings in proportion to tho necessities of educational districts rather than on tho basis of population. I consider that the Natire Department should either ba abolished, or much reduced. That the Land Purchase Department should be entirely abolished after completing some of tin most important pm-chas-es now in progress, after which tho Government should purchase no land for revenue purposes. That every facility should bo afforded to Natives, by advancing the necessary funds and otherwise, to have their land surveyed and their titles individualised. That ample reserves should bo made for the Natives, and that the remainder bo sold or leased by auction through the Waste Lands Board ot the District, at the request of tho Native owners, and cffereii at such up-.et price as may in each case bo fixed by them. That an ad valorem duty on every first disposal of such hind i be paid by the purchaser or lessee, in consideration of value given to such lands by immigration and p iblic works. I am opposed to the proposal to abolish multiple voting at Local Elections, and to tho 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 Go vornnient unoccupied land for local works; of promoting the settlement of the country by selling Government lands on the system of deferred payments and occupation ; of manhood suffriiKC, with a residential qualification ; of sending members of tho House to their constituencies, when they join a Ministry; of Triennial Parliament*; of a member addressing his constituency during the recess, and resigning his seat when he finds that he has ceased to represent them. I approve of tho Auckland members of the Houso ot Representatives agreeing to sink all minor differences consulting together upon questions affecting the interests ot the North, and (unless in cases in which principle is involved) unitedly taking such action as the majority may decide upon. J. McCOSH CLARK. rpO THE ELECTORS AND NONELECTORS OF MARSDEN. Gentlemen,— Having received a requisition from sovoral parts of the Electorate, nsking me to offer myself as a candidato to represent you in the Colonial Parliament, I havo felt it my duty to accede to the request. It is quite truo I havenot long been acquainted I with colonial politics, or tho needs of a new coutry like New Zealand, but since the first day of my landing on these shores, I have nover filled to tan c an ac ivo part in forwarding what I believe to bo tho b.st interests of the Colony general 1;, ani moro especially the County of Marsdon, 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 havo not waited until you sent me to Parliament bofor.e using my best endeavours in that direction, and t ust that tho nature of them is a sufficient cvidenco that I havo tho welfare of the district at hoar>, and am worthy of your support. lam confidently of opinion that it is a fact, and ono easily to bo proved that Auckland, and especially North Auckland, has been shamefully iioplocted and wronged in the matter of Public Works. Therefore, whilst not unmindfull of other mattors—and willing to assist ie general legislation to the best of my ability-I 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 bo in power, that justice for Notth 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, aud in person explain moro fully my viow^s on tho several questions which at present agitate the public'mind. On the subject of party I cannot consent to bo returned pledged the blind follower of either of tho two at present forming tho Ministry, and tho Opposition, but I accept in its main features the policy shadowed forth in tho Governor's speech at tho opening of Parliament. Neverthcles'. 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 tho interests ot our County of Marsdon. I am, Gentlemen, STour obedient servant, \\. H. COLBECK.
