To Mr. G. W, MARSHALL, and the Gentlemen signing the requisition. GENTLEMEN,-I thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me hy asking me for the third time, to represent your interests in the Provincial Council. I have much pleasure in acceding to your request. My long acquaintance with you renders it unnecessary for me to enter at length upon my political opinions. lam, however, distinctly averse to any alterations in the land regulations; and will, as far as lies in my power, advocate the interests of your district. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, R. H. RHODES. Lyttelton, Feb. 21,1866. TO THE ELECTORS POST VICTORIA DISTRICT. INTLEMEN.-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, 64 c A. HORHBROOK.
