Election Notice. -..:?.; /^IIEY VALLEY ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OJ? THE GREY VALLEY DISTRICC. ■ . Gentlemen, — 1 have the honor to offer myself as a Candidate for the Representation of the G-rey; Valley ia the General Asseintly; As the approaching session is likely to be of more than ÜBual importance, owing to the Constitutional reforms' which' the present Government have undertaken to introduce, it is necessary that the views of any Candidate should, upon these and other questions, beexplicity stated. I may, therefore, announce that I come forward in the interests' of that Liberal Party, which acknowledges. Sir. George Grey as its leader, and whose object it ia to 'eo reform the* le'gislatiori and the administration that equal rights, equal privileges, and a fair and, equitable distribution of the taxation of 'the Colony, may be.; conferred . upon the inhabitants of KewZealand* ;.••■- • . . ..[ To this end tne extension of the Franc ia<i: co that every adult male may exercise a vote after a limited residence in the Colony j'the re-ad juatment of the Representation bo. that: all parts of the Colony may be properly represented; shorter Parliaments ; and ade-' finite plan for the payment of members, -will largely contribute, and measures to their; effect will have my support. ; -i; • 'Whilst I doubt that the financial circum--scances of the Colony, and the demands for the continuance of Public Works, wUI for some considerable time permit any reduction in the ordinary taxation, I should assist in any ; which whilst ,on the ione hand relieving the taxation of the working classes, would make landed property cod tribute, its' fair share to' the burdens of the Colony. ... ' \/.\l"\\ The efforts of Sir George Grey to procure; the passage of aLaiid Law which will -make ■the possession of land as easy to the working classes for the purpose, of settlement, as to the rich capitalists for the purpose of speculation, would have my hearty 'support; I 'f .;,"•■ Upon the subject of Education, whils^l should oppose any disturbance of the Na-, tional and unsectarian character of the State. : schools, it cannot be overlooked that there: is a large minority of our fellow-subjects; who entertain strong religious convictions' , which, except in special cases, prevent their availing themselves of th-se schools, and. as • they contribute an equal share of the general ! taxation of the Colony, it.is my opinion, that !tb enßiirt the peace, order, and good Go- w vernment of this Colony, some reasonable concession should be made in their behalf, , and I, for one, would support , such a copi- ; promise as this :— Say, for instance, that = where a Catholic school of sufficient importance numerically, and which, upon State in- < spection, reaches the average of efficiency. 1 the managers of such school Bhall receive a sum per head of the children pro rota 1 to the average cost of each child in the
