I f*\ ENTLEMEN—Statements having been made to 1 me that uncertainty exists whether in the coming \ contest for your representation in the General ? Assembly I shall really appear as a Candidate for j your suffrages, I take this early opportunity of rem vhig doubt on the point by plainly saying it is intention one; again to Beck your votes, with political views that have undergone no materiel change since I last 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, That necessity is one that I hold to be of piimary Importance—let the shade of individual opinions differ as it may on minor matters.

(Ti ENTLEMEN,— have to annouce to you that it is my intention to offer myself for your suffrages at the ensuing General Election. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, SAMUEL LOCKE. ■' TO THE ELECTORS OE THE EAST COAST. t II f~\ ENTLEMEN—Being on the eve of a general r \T election, vital questions of policy will be laid d before the electors by the various candidates j, throughout the Colony, and it is the duty of one and all to use the power conferred under the present liberal franchise, whether in 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 aB free men, living under a free cons' itution. :e l—l am a supporter of the present Ministry, r, 2—l am opposed to the disintegration of the Colony ss as at present constituted. 3—l disapprove of such a retrogade step from assured progress as a rivision to effete Provincialism. 4—l advocate a curtailment of the extravagant expenditure under the preso t County and Road „ Board system, substituting one uniform valuation, - one rate, and one co-operative system of departmental anministration. s—l favor amendment of the Property Tax, or substitution of a more equitable aud lees inquisitorial nun-ure. 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 selecr tion 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. X i Q.__i propose equal rating of lands, including ie Government and Native. He 10—The laws relating to Native land tenuie should Q . be simplified ; all local and unnecessary Acts abolished ; giving extended powors 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 pnolic works of utility, Buch as Harbors, Roads Bridges, Z etc. 13—1 should urge a remodelling of the Civil Service by placing it on a non-po'itical and bona fide guaruntec basis, lie The foregoing is a brief outline of general policy, ly I shall, however, upon the public platform, more er fully dilate upon these and the various local subjects a- touching the welfare of the whole electorate. M In conclusion, gentlemen, I trust you will support my candidature ; fis having served you faithfully in 1. many public positions in the past, I seek your further confidence in my earnest desire to serve your best interests in the future. I remain. Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, T. W. PORTER.
