TO THE ELECTORS OF TUB EAST COAST DISTRICT. ENTLEMEN,—As you are aware, Mr Locke at hie Tuesday night's meeting, quite unexpectedly, announced that the state of hie health would not permit of hie carrying on his contest for a eeat in the House. His supporters, while regretting exceedingly that Mr Locke has found it necessary to take this step, arc desirous that some one should come out in his place, and have asked me to do eo, This I have, with a certain amount of diffidence, agreed to do, and I now beg to announce myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election. Tbe shortness of the time given me prevents my being able to publish my address to-day, but I shall take an early opportunity of doing so and expressing my views on the various political questions now before the country. Yours faithfully, ANDREW GRAHAM. Gisborne, August 8, 1887. TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
