TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE ARO DISTRICT. (~V ENTLEMEN— The Representation Act \JT having constituted To Aro a saparato electorate. I have the honour to offer myself as a candidate for that District. My views npon some of the most important questions are aa follows :— I should oppose any legislation having for its object tho separation of the colony by giving separate Legislatures to the North. and bouth Islands, and any attempt to 1 evert to the Provincial system. At the same time, I thiok that the powers of County Councils should be increased. I am opposed to further taxation, because I think that by retrenchment tho revenues of the colony will pay the interest upon loans and provide for carrying on the Government. If further taxation becomc3 necessary, I should Bupport tho Property I Tax, exempting machinery and agricultural implements in use, and tho present exemption of .£SOO, and an Income Tax on incomes above a reasonable amount. These taxes should be so arranged as to ensure the burden being borne by all of us proportionally to our means. I am in favor of Free State Education, but under the present financial difficulties of the colony the expenditure is more than we can afford. This should fcr a time bo reduced consibtently with not destroying the system itself. "When the finances of tho colony are again satisfactory I should support an increased sum being placod on the Estimates. I should support any measure having for its object tho introduction into tho colony of small capitalist farmers, and thoir occupation upon favorable terms of the wasto lands of the colony, and every measure which will enable persons to become bond fide settlerß of small blccka of land onreason*ble terms. lam in favor of taxing native lands. The colony incurs a '.large expenditure, specially applicable to natives and native land, and I think they and their lands ought to bear a portion of the taxation. I am a strong advocato for local industries such as tho proposed woollen factory. Every effort must bo made to keep within the colony the industrial population, which, unfortunately, has been for some time past leaving us. I think that by economy, by encouraging and promoting local industries, and by the development of the resources of the colony, we Bhall soon overcome our difficulties. Local industries cannou grow up or our resources be developed without both capital and labour, and care must be taken that both are encouraged. I should strive to obtain for this city and the adjoining districts a larger share of publio money than they have received in the past. I consider the completion of the West Coast Railway an essential to tho welfare of this city, and would do my utmost to further any legislation to that end, aa also to obtain for the Harbour Board ondowment3. There are other subjects of importance requiring legislation, which I will refer to when I address you personally. If elected, 1 shall eudeavour to do my duty aa your representative. I have no grievances to redress and n:> personal end to serve. I will address you personally at an early date. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, E. STAFFORD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THORNDON ELECTORAL DISTRICT. f^i ENTLEMEN,— At tho request of my V?T friends, I beg to stato that I now havo fully determined to offer myself aa a candidate for a scat in the House of Representatives for tho above elect >ral district. I shall avail myself of tho honour of addreasing you personally before the day cf election. The principles I purpose enunciating shall be thoroughly radical. My supporters aro hereby cautioned not to pay any attention to Btupid reports that I am only running as an advertisement to my business or in favour of any other candidate, as such reporta are only malicious electioneering canards. Yours faithfully, THOS. DWAN. TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIBARAPA SOUTH. f^i ENTLEMEN,— The Waiiarapa being V?T divided into two Electoral Districts, I beg to offer myself as a candidate to represent tho Southern Division in tho next Parliament. Having represented the Electors of the Wairarapa in fivo successive Parliaments, I, with confidence, again ask you to eloct me. As soon as the Writs are out, I shall invite you to meet me in the several centres of population. I am, Your obedient servant. HENRY BUNNY. TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIRARAPA SOUTH. ENTLEMEN— In accordance with my vX already published intention, 1 now beg to offer myself as a candidate for tho representation of your district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret tho recent division of tho old electorates, and in this expression I feel satisfied public sympathy goes with me— not only in this, but in the majority of other districts of the colony. Union, and not dissension, ehould bo the watchword of all the sections of such a district as this, as well aa of all it 3 settlers, whether living in town or country. Tho widespread feeling which has recently arisen that it we aro to prosper as a colony we mu-t unite in developing the many natural resources which lio in abundance around us, has found its expression in tho prominence attained by tho local government and other similar questions during last session of Parliament. Since becoming a settler amongst you, auy services I may have been ablo to render in this direction have always met with tho most genorons recognition ; and I can only assure yon that if elected, no effort on my part will be spared in assisting to place theso all-important questions npon a Satisfactory footing. The Native question requires more than passing notice. It is intolerable that tho colony should bo called iifon to maintain a standing army at such a ruinous expondituro, and Te Whiti should be sternly told (in decda, and not in words), that his latest departure is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions which will engage the attention of electors, I shall be happy to explain my views at the sevoral centres of population in the electorate. While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by the Hall Government at a critical period of the colony's history, I shall deoline to pledge myself to any party, but will give my support in the direction best calculated to develope the material interests of the country generally. I remain, Yours faithfully, W. C. BUCHANAN. THE MAYORAL ELECTION. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN— A report having been put in circulation that it is Hot my intention to contest the coming Mayoral election, I desire to give such report an unqualified contradiction. I now beg to announce my intention of contesting the said election against all comers, and therefore respectfully solicit the votes and interest of tho ratepayers as a body, particularly those who so faithfully supported me on tho occasion of the contest between his Worship — the present Mayor — and myself. Yours faithfully, ANDREW YOUNG. jgALSALINE, The Great Food Preservative. This invaluable antiseptic compound is TA-TELESii, ODoURLbSS, and perfectly HARMLESS.

It contains nothing that is deleterious, and may be safely mixed with food. It possesses the antiseptio properties attributed to it, and to a very remarkable extent. A tea-npoonful of a solution, obtained by dissolving four ounces in a pint of water, when added to a quart of fresh milk, will arrest all chang except the rising of the cream, and prevents the milk from turning sour or thickening when standing expo3ed to the air for a period of at least five days in warm weather. — James Hector."
