Election JVotices. P4, 3, O A , E L E C T I ON PROVINCIAL COIJNPIL. „,.. . TO THE ELEC^p^.j Gentle JiEN--Having been »sked by a large number of Electors to -offer myself as; a.Candidate^or the ensuing Provincial Couucil, I h&ve decided to do. so .without/-, the necessity of haying a requisition presented, : a? r^b. appears-, to me that a requisition and tKe ballot arei' somewhat at variance in principle," and as I shall take an early opportunity of addressing yon in 1 the' various centres of pop'ulatiori'6n the •; chief topics. :that are - : likely ,tp; ; comer before the , Council, . I shall now only briefly give you an outline! of the principles' tKat. r would guide me in the C6uncil/if ; - Ishou'ld' have the honor to be elected. ,' ; - ; J-'- -s!.t« ! ;-,1, I am opposed to the sale qi any iauri-;:; ferous land that .can be. vyorked by the miner. , I objiect to'capitalists'haying the privilege of j buying large tracts '6f land at iOs an' ; acre for J mere speculation, whereas a poor man, wanting a small homestead ' of 10 0r ,20- acres;: fsV charged £1 or even £2 an acre. I am in favor of auchan^nieridment-ittthe Waste Lands Act that would -permit a man to occupy a" piece. of land, ; and • to have the privilege .of. .turning out. his cattle on the Waste Lands adjoining, all rental paid for it being part of the purchase money.Vproviding that the miner should 1 have free'" access ( 'to| search for gold on all uncultivated ground^' without compensation for 20yearS. ; ' 2. ; I.'^believe the time has- arrived :when) such an alteration in our .Gold-mining Eegulations might be advantageously made in old go]d>n'elds, such as are to be found in i the > dis.tript; of Parpa,, that.^ypuld prev.ent ; any unnecessary interference 'with parties who ' have Deen at a great expehselhbrm ! 2irig'in^ water. I ako contend that an Act having T been passed making a miner's right available for Nelson' add 'Westland' Gbld-field3, ought to be (proclaimed at once. ; .3. Being always in favor of local self-go- _ vernment j; l, ; nevertheless, think 7 that -an,; anomaly exists in haying; two such bodies~« a Provincial Council arid .Road Boards in 'so ' thinly, a scattered, r. population, arid L believe 1 } the latter .ought ,to be dispensed with, tolls beipg substituted on niainroads-tbat'would,, keep them inrepair. : "'. 7 .77 :[."..
