Election Addresses. TO THE ELECTORS OP THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. f*\ ENTLEMEN-—Statements having: been made to > me that uncertaintj exists whether ia the coming contest for your representation ia the General Assembly I shall M&Uy appear as a Candidate for . your suffrages, I take this early opportunity o? " removing doubt on the point by plainly saying it is my intention oncj again to seek your votes, Tvith political views that have undergone no materiel ' change since I las* solicited your confidence. Recent political events must, I think, have served to point unmistakably to the necessity in this community of some base for united and concerted action being taken by its members on leading questions, Tha+u necessity is one that I hold to be of piimary importance—let the Bhade of individual opinions differ as ' it may on minor matters. Your very obedient servant, JOHN BUCHANAN. TO THE ELECTORS OP NAPIER. fi ENTLEMEN—I have the honor to inform you that I intend to seek your suffrages at the coming olection. I will address a public meeting Bhortly, and lay before you my reasons for coming forward. In the meanwhile I ask the electors to suspend their judgment. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, JOHN W. McDOUGALL. GENTLEMEN,- -I pnrpose to Address you in the THEATBE ROYAL on the Evening of WEDNESDAY, November 30th. TO THE ELECTORS OE NAPIER, p\ ENTLEMEN,—An opportunity is now at hand \JT when something must be done to secure the stability and increase the prosperity of Napier, and as at a meeting of the Harbor Board the casting vote of the gentleman who has already solicited your support prevented the Engineer for the Oamaru Breakwater being sent for to report on the of ' constructing a Breakwater at the Bluff, 1 am impressed with the conviction that the wellfare of Napier would not be pr jmoted by his election to Parliament, and therefore, as a resident of the town, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages. I advocate a property and income tax, and also a graduated tax on land not only for revenue purposes but also to promote the Settlement of the people and the extension of agriculture. After mature consideration I regret that I can see no basis for united action with Mr Ormond, except by the continued sacrifice of the interests of Napier. Should you do me the honor of electing me, I shall endeavor to obtain an endowment for the Napier Breakwater, and thus prevent a repetition of that Kidnapner scare by which your interests were so seriously imperilled.
