A LARGE number of the Electors of the Heathcote District who have hitherto been your supporters, wish you to take an early opportunity to inform them, I. Why, after running the province into debt, to the extent of £100,000, you have suddenly left office, without finding means to pay for this unauthorised expenditure. ' 2. Why, you have done everything in your power to oppose the just claims of the inhabitants of the West Coast of Canterbury, and so provoke Separation. 3. Why, you so effectually smothered the Grey River Coal Company, instead of assisting it, as was your duty as a member of the Government, and 4. Whether, if you are elected, you will | take the same view of the claims of the | Maoris in the North Island for land com- ! pensation, as you have enforced here in your own cases, on the Ferry Road and Lincoln Koad. 397 AVON ELECTION.

Christchurch, Feb. 14, 1866. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,— As a fresh election is about taking place for members of the Provincial Council, and I have had the honour of being one of your Representatives' for the last four years, I beg to offer myself for reelection. As the district is a very wide one, and the constituents scattered, it will be next to impossible for me personally to call upon all of you to solicit your votes. As to my policy, I advocate a reduction in the public expenditure in almost all its, branches ; I think that no great public works should be undertaken unless we have the funds in hand, or are able to obtain a loan on favourable terms, so as not to be driven to borrow at a ruinous cost. I also think that no more immigrants should be introduced until we have the requisite funds to import and work to give them, without injuring those already in the colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ' 398 c A. HORNBROOK. TO MR. JNO. LEITH. SIR— -We the Undersigned, Electors of the Sefton District, being of opinion that at the ensuing election of representatives to the Provincial Council it would be more beneficial to the agricultural interest of this district that it should be represented by gentlemen • Laving ,a more direct interest in it than hitherto, and believing your interests are identical with our own, request that you will call a public meeting to elucidate your political opinions, providing you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as one of our members. John Hood J. H. Moore Wm Hood A. W". Rowlands David Shaw C. E. Paget James Russell Donald M'Lean Thomas James Harman Mahler Alexander Petrie Thomas W. Peacock John Mathews Geo. F. Locke TO THE GENTLEMEN SIGNING THE REQUISITION. Gentlemen.—l thank you for the honour and confidence you place in me, and as lam now at liberty I will be proud to do the best in my power for the permanent welfare of the province, and this district in particular. The question of pre-emptive rights for fencing, which is being allowed at the present time, shall meet with my immediate attention, and I will be happy to meet you . oh a future day, at the School-house, Leithfield, of which I will give immediate no- 1 tice. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN LEITH. J
