ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT. r piIERE WILL BE A FINAL MEETING OP MR ROLLESTON'S COMMITTEE AND SUPPORTERS AT THB MUSIC HALL, CATHEDRAL SQUARE, ON SATURDAY (THIS EVENING), At 7 30. 4-30 A FEW FACTS. MR MOORHOUSE NEVER CREATED a Balance on the right side. Mr Moorhouee says in liis speeches that he retired in 1868 becauee his Executive and the Council prevented him carrying out his PROGRESSIVE Measures. The following is a Message sent down to the Council by Mr Moorhouae, on the 7th April, 1868. See message No 5, 54, Council Reports, Session 28 and 29 :— "The Superintendent desires to communicate to the Council hia intention to resign shortly after the close of this Session. This determination was induced by the pressure of urgent private affairs some time previous to the commencement of the Session, but considerations of public convenience prevented an earlier disclosure of hie intention to retire." The West Coast Road, after the refund on account of Westlend cost £125,000! Mr Moorliouee'e friends state that the road cost £250,000, and also carefully omit to add a word about Weetland being charged with the £60,000! ! The Balance egainet the the Province when Mr Moorhouee left office on the 7th May, 1868, was £53,646 2e. 5d ! ! It is untrue to say that there was a Balance of £130,616 when Mr Moorhouee left office. After paying all the liabilities incurred by the Moorhouse-Stewart Government, and his Overdraft at the Bank, there wae only the balance of about £75,000 left out of the whole Loan of £800,000. Whatever Mr Moorhouse may say about the Contractors getting 7£ per cent., ho and every one else can see in the printed public papers, that the Contractors got 15 per cent, on the cost of the Rolling Stock, and all other expenditure. Mr Moorhouse knoios this well, because it was his own arrangement ! ! Electors will do well to recollect this, and also that Mr Montgomery's Government put a stop to such reckless Progress, and that if Mr Moorhouee is elected, we ehall have a repetition of it with the Northern Railway. Don't forget this, Working Men especially. Who spent £14,000 on a Shed at Ferrymead, that could have been done for £3000 ? MOORHOUSE ! Who paid the Contractors for the Southern Railway in full, notwithstanding the continnal reports of the Engineer that the line was incomplete ? MOOKHOUSE ! Who wants to make the Northern Railway by large contractors ? MOORHOUSE ! SEE HIS ANSWERS AT KAIAPOI! Who brought Cattle from the North that Diseased all the Cattle of the Farmers at Kaiapoi, and now wants £6 a head for his diseased Cattle ? ( ) What sensible man will believe such humbug that Moorhouee will obtain BEEF, BACON, AND BEER FOR THE WORKING MAN ? WORKING MEN !—REMEMBER the MEETING of the UNEMPLOYED !— Who was then your Superintendent ? MOORHOUSE ? What answer did you get from him ? "GRIN, AND BEAR IT"!!!
