We fed that men of practical ability and independent positions are required to represent ua in theses times of depression and Government extravagance. Knowing that you possess these qualifications, wo trust that your reply will be favorablo to etfr request, and wo promise to give you our entire support, Roslyn, June 4,1887. .. .. , ,„ irwH (Signed) N. Y. A. WALES JAMES WILKIH A. MATHESON, And 145 other Electors in Roslyn Bleotorate. Roslyn, June 9, 1887. . Gentlemen,—Accept my cordial thanks for your requisition, with the terms of which I have pleasure in complying. I am deeply sensible of the honor you would confer upon me, and, I hope, am also duly sensible of the responsibilities which the position as your representative in Parliament would impose on me. In the event of your electing me I would be prepared to advocate political action on the following lines: — Ist. Reduction of the number of memb is. 2nd. Abolition of honorarium to Legislative Councillors. 3rd. Reduction of Governor's salary and allowances to L 5.000. 4th. Reduction of departmental expenditure, and amalgamation of oiHccs. sth. The completion of the Otago Central Railway to a point where it can bo made to return revenue. 6th. 1 and and income tax on graduated scale. 7th. Giving assistance to local industries, Bth. Continuing the present system of education, but believing a saving would be effected by raising the age of admission to six years instead of five, as at present. 9th. Agisting to my utmost ability in placing people on the lands of tho Colony. I remain, gentleman, Your obedient servant, (Signed) WALTER CARLTON. To Messrs N. Y. A. Wales, James Wilkie, A. Mathcson, and tho 145 gentlemen who have signed the requisition. TO THE ELECTORS OF DUNEDIN EAST. ENTLEMEN,—I again offer myself as a _ " Candidate for your Suffrages, and I will take an early oi>portunity of meeting you and explaining the political situation. Meantime, I may state that the following, amongst others, are Planks in my Platform: — 1. Retrenchment in the Public Service. 2. Any additional taxation iequired by means of the property tax to be so arranged as not to increase the burdens of persons of small means. 3. Any necessary increase of Customs to be imposed so as to assist our local industries. 4. Tho continuance of the Small Settlement scheme of Crown lands inaugurated by the present Ministry, and the general furtherance of the agricultural and pastoral interests in every way possible. 5. The strengthening of Local Government by the decentralization of all possible government functions. 6". The maintenance at all hazards of our Educalioral System. I am adverse to any scheme that would throw the representation of tho people into the hands of the few or the wealthy, and unduly reducing the number of members in the House of Representatives would have this very effect. I bslieve retrenchment in our legislative expenditure can be effected, but this can bo carried out without interfering with the number of the members of Purliament. Were the numbers reduced several outlying and thinlypeopled districts would be practically unrepresented. Even now some districts are far too larpc. It seems passing strange that many of those who increased the number of members in 1881, when the population of the Colony was 400,000, should now advocate a reduction when we have 595,000 people. What the present Ministry has done for the Colony by its legislative measures and administrative acts I shall detail to you when I address you. I may just add that our aim has been to frame truly liberal and democratic laws, and to carefully, p udently, and economically administer the affairs of the State. We have fcucceeded, in many instances, in the face of strong party opposition in both Houses. We have effected large savings in the public expenditure, and more families have been placed on the land by us than under any previous administration. With the hearty assistance and co-operation of the Liberals in the Colony we can do much'more than we have done, and it remains for you and the other constituencies of the Colony to cay whether this is to be permitted, or whether the legislation and administration of tho Colony are to be handed over to a party that haß denounced our attempted savings in the Civil Service, repudiated our effort to relieve the less wealthy from the property tax, refused to aid the local industries of the Colony, attempted to burk our Village Settlement schemo, and whilst in power neglected necessary public works in many districts. Thanking you for all you have done for me in the past, and for your many kindnesses, Believe me to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ROBERT ST UT.
