Napier, 20th August, 1881. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. /~1 ENTLEMEN—Being on the eve of a general VjT election, vital questions of policy will be laid before the electors by the various candidates throughout the Colony, and it is the duty of one and all to use the power conferred under the present liberal franchise, whether Iα the position of an elector or candidate. In the latter position I come honestly forward to express my views, and use my most strenuous efforts in support of such measures as I deem essentially beneficial to the welfare of the electorate, and conducive to the future prosperity of the Colony at large. I hold strong views on many questions of moment, bearing directly upon our rights and privileges as free men, living under a free constitution. I—l am a supporter of the present Ministry, 2—l am opposed to the disintegration of the Colony as at present constituted. 3—l disapprove of such a retrogade step from assured progress as a rivision to effete Provincialism. i —l advocate a curtailment of the extravagant expenditure under the preset County and Koad Board system, substituting one uniform valuation, one rate, and one co-operative system of departmental administration. s—l favor amendment of the Property Tax, or substitution of a more equitable and lees inquisitorial measure. 6--1 am a supporter of Free Trade, and promotion of local manufacturing industries by liberal bonuses on value of products. 7 —l strongly advocate a better administration and more rapid settlement of our Waste Lands, by selection at nominal rates, free grants, and monetary assistance to farmers. B—l disapprove of reckless alienation of the public estates to absentees and large capitalists. o—l propose equal rating of lands, including Government and Kative. 10 —The laws relating to Native land tenuie should be simplified ; all local and unnecessary Acts abolished; giving extended powers under the existing Native Land Act of 1880; a system of local registration introduced, and a regular circuit of the Courts established. 11—A modification of our present expensive system of primary education is necessary. 12—Districts geographically debarred from the benefits of Railway extension should in fair proportion be assisted in the construction of other pnbllc works of utility, such as Harbors, Roads, Bridges, etc. 13—1 should urge a remodelling of the Civil Service, by placing it on a non-po/itical and bona fide guarantee basis. The foregoing is a brief outline of general policy. I shall, however, upon the public platform, more fully dilate upon these and the various local subjects touching the welfare of the whole electorate. In conclusion, gentlemen, I truat you will support my candidature ; ne having served you faithfully in many public positions in the past, I seek your further confidence in my earnest desire to servo your best intorests in the future. I remain. Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, T. W. PORTER. Gieborne, October 20th, 1881.
