Gentlemen, —I have much pleasure in coming forward as a candidate for the Ashley district upon your invitation. My view’s on the questions which principally occupy public attention are shortly these:— I should support the present Government in its scheme for promoting the settlement of the country by means of railways and main roads, but I should oppose the further construction of railways on the expensive system hitherto pursued in Canterbury. With regard to protective duties, 1 am in favour of protecting grain and a few other items of produce, also such industries as may appear likely to be able to maintain their ground without protection after being once established. I should oppose any redaction in the price of waste lands, unless it could be clearly shown that such redaction would lead to a solid as well as a more rapid progress. 1 remain yours truly, A. C. GRAY. North Eowai, Jan. 18,1871. C 9722
