HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES To THE ELECTORS OP THE INANGAHUA ELECTORAL DISTKICT. f^i ENTLEMEN,— At tho request of \JT very many old friends among you I have now to declare myself a candidate for your vacant seat A few days will, 1 trust, bring us face to face, and it will be then my business fully to enunciate my political views, and the line of conduct which, as your representative, I would propose to adopt. Meanwhile, the following are brief indications of my opinion on various questions intimately affecting your interests on public works : — I think no railway system for the South Island is complete without a connection being established between the great trunk line and the West Coast. In any case railway communication with Christchurch must be made as early as possible an accomplished fact. A considerable portion of, the Four Million Loan ought to be permanently allocated to the construction of this lino, and the short Greymouth line pushed on vigorously iip the valley. A good coach road, well bridged and gradad, between Reefton, Ahaura, and the Can- . terbury Plains is urgently required, and ought to be completed within the next twelve months ; so, too, a road from the Big Grey to Charleston The harbor works at both Greymouth and Westport should of course be steadily prosecuted, and the success that has attended the initiatory work at both places fully warrants the expenditure required in the future. As to education, the present Act has its minor defects, but on the broad question of secular education I am of opinion it adopts the only logical and practical method of State interference in educational matters. In finance I believe we have at present as Colonial Treasurer the ablest man available, but I am not in • favor of Government Insurance against poverty. It is an Utopian Bcheme, which, if ever carried out, would press most lieavily on the industrious. The system of administering justice in the Colony re<{uires a radical reform. I hope to have ii ii opportunity of detailing to you the changes which for many years have appeared to me necessary. If you do me the honor of selecting me as your representative I shall enter the House as an independent member, inclined to give a ,venei-al support to the present Government, but perfectly free to vote and act as I may consider best and wisest in your interest and that of the Colony at large. <"-ie thing you may feel sure of, that you v'-l find no one who has a more affec- < : <»'iate and lively concern for the well-1-!'i!r of the district and the people in it th.w myßulf . I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, ; Your obedient servant, Edward Shaw.
