I have-not yot definitely decided to become a candidate; thia will.depend upon whether 1 can arrange my private business so as to allow of mybeinjj absent-in Wellington.for the time necessary to devote to public affairs. This I hope-to succeed in arranging, butif not, I shall withdraw from my candidature within a very few days and intimate the same to you. <In this case I shall probablysoekyoursuffr.ag.es on. some.future occasion.), Although personally unknown to many of you, yon will find, as the election proceeds, that I am very far. indeed from boing unknown in Jsew Zealand, whioh I hare made my home now for noarly thirty years, and I venture to hope that jyouwillnndineMotunfavourablyknown. , I Meantime I oarnostly trust that the general ofvthe eleotors will resist all attempts to ! obtaifr promise's ofi tlioir votes until they are in a i position, to decide upon the important iseues 'which will be placed before them in this elecition, and have fully heard all the candidates.

My colours, gentlemen, are, I firmly believe, your colours. If, however, it should turn out I that I have been incapable of gauging and of Identifying myself with your intelligence, the consequence of the failure must be mine, as I always nail my colours to the mast and fight through. , ~ ...
