j -^LECTORS OF TITABSDEN. Gfntlehen. —My Wliangarei opponents , having lodged a technical objection to my name being retained on the Electoral Boll— an objection, which while fatal to my candidature, has been rendered so by influences that others ; had the power to control— l have no option but to retire from the contest. I do so with the_ very greatest reluctance, and it only remains for me to express to my numerous supporters my most sincere and heartfelt thanks for their many expressions of sympathy and confidence: and especially do I thank those who attended last Wednesday's meeting at Whangarei, especially to support my candidature. But for the abrupt manner in which the Chairman of that meeting vacated the chair, I should have made known my position. Though excluded for the time from public life, it will still be my aim to assist in every way possible to advance the interests of a district with which I have for so many years been identified ; perhaps on some future occasion I may have a better opportunity of placing my views before you, and, if necessary, may again seek your suffrages. In the present election I shall take no part whatever. Yours to command — t „_ _„„„ G - E - ALDEBTON. June 30, 1887. jl2 1 -piLECTORS OF MARSDEN. G eotlehbw,— I beg to announce myself as a candidate for the Bepresentation of your district in the next Parliament. Many of you are aware that it has been my desire to be placed in a position in which I cam more effectually serve you. The development of the coal mines, the improvement of Whangarei Biver, and, especially, the railway system, demand more energetic action than has yet been taken. In general politics my watchwerd shall be : Betrenchment in departmental expenditure, rigid economy, the settlement of the people on the land, and the active encouragement of industrial pursuits. I shall address public meetings in various centures in the District within the next few weeks. I am gentlemen, Yours faithfully, ' „„ J. M. DARGAVILLE. jell tf . npO THE ELECTORS OF MARSDEN.

Mr Thompson has declared himself an opponent of the present Government, I have much pleasure in supporting his candidature, and respectfully request my friends to rally around him. on polling day. .'*"" E. MITCHELSON. WANTED! -' • ~ WANTED ! a fit and proper person id represent Marden in the 10th Parliament of New Zealand. The following are a few of the necessary qualifications : — • He must be independent. By this is meant, not so much material wealth as that true man- ■ hood which makes a man delight to live on what he earns, and not what he can snatch from others. He must be prepared to uphold to the fullest extent the rights of the people to govern themselves. His previous training such as to teach him if a man or a state spends 21/ for every pound received, they must, sooner or later, nnd themselvess in. trouble. " Must be Srepared, at any cost of feeling or toil td bring ie expenses . of the Government below the revenue, by abolishing all fat sinecures and getting value received for all public money expended. Must be one who has shown sufficient skill in the management of his own affairs to warrant his being placed in trust for the public. Must be true ana just in all his dealings ; who will not rob the public purse for his own pocket or distribution amongst his constituents, or stand by and see others do so without exposing the fraud from one: end of the . colony . to the other. Who would scorn to be elected by votes secured by promising to electors anything more than they were justly entitled to. A hater of shams, a scorner of frauds, the ■worn foe ef tyranny and .oppression. Has, no motive for 'submitting tfe election save his oountry' s good. Whose mind is sufficiently expanded to see that, although he represents one district, : Its best interest can only be permanently secured by the prosperity and hapipi .* aesß of the colony as a whole. To be comprej_erisive,~he shonld bear some near resemblance politically, socially, and commercially, to what it is desirable the whole community should be, because, being placed in such a position, he is copied by the rising geaeration. As such men are somewhat scarce, and too modest to push themselves forward, any information respecting him will be thankfully received by the Public Meeting to be held in Whangarei oh the 29th inst.
