TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE AGO DISTRICT. /"NENILEMEN— The Representation Act V7T having constituted Ta Aro a separate electorate. I have the honour to offer myself aa a candidate for that Diatrics. My views npon some of the most important questions are as follows :— ] I shotHd oppose aDy legislation having for its object the! separation of the colortv by 1 giving separate Le^Jalatures' to the North ( and ¦"outh Islands, and Cny attempt to 1 evert t:> the Provinoial systoul. At the j mma time, I think that the power's" of County Councils should be inoroasei. I t oppospd to further taxation, because [ I thiTjk thsfc by retrench meat tho revenues I of the colony \^i!l pay tho interest upon i loans and provide for carryiug on the Government. If further taxation beoomes necessary, I should support the Property Tax, exempting mach.nery and agricultural implements in use, and tho present exemption of £500, and an Income Tax on incomes above a reasonable amount. These taxes ehonli be so arranged a3 to ensure the burden beiug bofac by all of us proportionally to onr means. I am in favor of Free State Kducation, I but under the present financial difficulties ' of the colony the expenditure is more than we can afford. This should for a time be reduced consistently with not destroying the cystem itaolf. When the finances of the colony tire again satisfactory I ahould suppott an inoi ; eji39<3 gum being placed on the Estimates. I should support any measitfo Taring tor its object the introduction into the colony of small capitalist farmers, and their ocCupation upon favorable termß of the waste lands of the colony, and every moasure which will enable persons to become bond fide settlers of amah blocks of laud on reasonable terms. lam in fi.vor of taxing native lands. Tho colony incurs a large oxpenditure, specially applicable to natives and native land, and I think they aud their lands ought to bear a portion of the taxation. I am a strong advocate for local industries snch aa tho proposed woolleu factory. Every effort must be made to keep, within the colony the industrial population, which, unfortunately, has been for some timo past leaving us. I think that by economy, by encouraging and promoting local industries, and by the development of tho resources of the colony, we shall coon overcome our difficulties. Local industries cannot 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 pubiio money than they have received in tho past. I consider the completion of the West Coast Railway an essential to the welfare of this city, and would do my utmost to further any legislation to that end, aa also to obtain for the Harbour Hoard endowments. There aro other subjects of importance requiring legislation, which I will refer to when 1 address you personally. If elected, 1 shall ondeavour to do my duty as your representative. I have no grievances to redress and no poraonal end to serve. I will address yon personally at an early date. I have the honour to bo, Gentlemen, Yonr obedient servant, E. STAFFORD. TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH WELLINGTON. f~i ENTLEMEN— In rospouso to numerous requests, I beg to inform you that I am a candidate for tho ropre?cntation of your diatriot in the Houso of Representatives. 1 shall take an early opportunity of putting my political opinions fully before you, aud as I believe that they will bo found to bo iv harmony with those of the majority of the electors, I trust to be favoured with your support on the day of polling. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. B. EDWARDS. Island Bay, 27th Ootober, 1831. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTH WELLINGTON DISTRICT. AT the request of uiany friends and electors, I beg to inform you that ] am a candidate for the honour of represent' ing you in the next Parliament of New Zealand. I shall take an early opportunity of per sonally explaining my viows to you ; and i you deem me worthy of so great a trnst, i' ¦will bo my earnest aim at all times to pro mote tho interests of this district, and Now Zealand in general, irrespective of parties. Yours obediently, PAUL COFFEY. Clyde Quay, 29th Oct., 1881. TO THE ELECTORS OP WAIRARAPA S< )DTH. -p ENTLEMEN,— Tho Wairarapa beinj vJT divided into two Electoral Districts, beg to offer myself as a, candidate to repre sent tho Southern Division in tho next Par liament. Having represented the Elector of tho Wairarapa in five successive Parlia inents, I, with confidence, again ask you t< elect me. Aa soon aa the Writs tiro out, '. shall invite you to meet mo in the Bevera coutres of population. I am, Your obedient sorvanfc. HENRY BUNNY. TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIRARAPi SOUTH. /~1 ENTLEMEN— In accordance with m; \IK already published intention, I now bo| to offer myself as a candidate for the repre sentation of yonr district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret thi rocent division of the old electorates, and it this expression I feel satisfied public sym pathy goes with me — not only in this, but ii the majority of other districts of the colony Union, and not dissension, should be thi watchword of all the seotions of such a dia trict as this, as well as of all its settlers whether living in town or country. Tho widespread feeling which has recently arisen that it we are to prosper as a colon; we must unite in developing the man] natnral resources which lio in abundanoi around us, has found its expression in thi prominence attained by tho local governmen and other similar qneationa during las' session of Parliament. Since becoming ) settler amongst you, any services I ma; hay* been able to render in this direotioi hay a cays met with the moat (jeneroui recogmti*r md can only assure you that if elected, nt» effort on my part will be spare* in assisting to place these all-importan' queationa upon a satisfactory footing. The Native question requires more thar passing notice. It i 3 intolerable that _th< colony should be called upon to maintain b standing army at such a ruinous expenditure and Te Whiti should be sternly told (ir deeds, and not in words), that his latesi departure is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions whicl will engaga the attention of electors, I shal be happy to exolain my viows at tho severa centres of population in the electorate. While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by tho Hall Government at a critical poriod of the colony's history I shall decline to pledge myself to any party but will give my support in the directior best calculated to dovelope the material in terests of the country generally. I remain, Youra faithfully, W. C. BUCHANAN. f AND FOR SALE, on easy terms, a fi_i Belmont, Scarhro' Terrace, Kilbirnio and Bainp?so, near Foxton, and Manners street.
