Electoral. .' rpO THE ELECTORS 0# FRANKLIN. -According to promise, I again beg to offer myself as a candidate for yonr suffrages at the 1 forthcoming general election. Should you honor me with your confidence, I shall faithfully adhere to the political traditions of our great constituency by .whomsoever administered. 1 shall maintain the unity of New Zealand by supporting real local self-govern' menV as represented by "Municipalities and Road Boards, providing the Government BiU includes these j-"i.? roir systems. For the more efficient and expeditious working of the above, I shall urge the immediate completion of the main trunk line of railway from, say, the Bluff to either Kelson or Picton in the South Island, and from Wellington to Russell (Bay of Islands) in the North, of course, taking care to, in no way, violate the territory of objecting natives in this island, .1 shall support ah immediate re-distribution of seats based upon the population as shewn by a special census, and subject to the presentliberalqualifications A Commission of non-politicians to fix the future boundaries of each electoral district, and Mr Gladstone's ingenious scheme of 1866 might be taken as a permanent standard for an equitable re-adjust* ment. " To further develop the somewhat backward condition of the .North Island through unavoidable causes in the "wretched past," T shall urge th* granting of free farms to bond fide country settlers under the following conditions: To settlers resident for fifteen years and upwards in one province, 400 acres; and to those of ten years and upwards, SOO acres in that province only. Buildings costing at least £50 to beerectedwithin six months from date of possession' a 1 legal fence to enclose the property within eighteen! months, and the whole to be cleared,'and under crop' or grass at'the end of five years, when a Crown Grant would be issued subject to the official report of the district surveyor. ' No lien or mortgage over farm to' be legal within the five years. . Insnraoce of buildings, stock, and crops to be allowed., Grantees .to be mar. : ried, and to reside on their farms, and to pay, with the 1 others, the expense of surveying their block.- Appli-\ "cants to-ballot for . the respective farms in each block, - and the land to be of the best quality disposable.' "" i The recent deplorable loss of the ships ' Cospatrfck' atid ' Btrathmore*,'—the former conclusively proved to> be by fire—demands,rl consider, special legislation. As the population ,of-the' Australasian Group now I numbers nearly two millions and a quarter, I propose' establishing a central'factory for ail kinds of gunpowder and explosives similar to the Hints'in Sydney and Melbourne : all'forelgn shipments to bo then prohibited, and speolal craft engaged solely for carrying -these articles between the different colonies, as required. , • The proposed codification l or consolidation of the! ProvinclalEducation, Land, and other Acts > will receive my earnest attention. A moderate sub-< sidy,.to connect Fiji with'.New Zealand, by telegraph, "also the'further reduction of Press telegrams and railway fares, will be supported. . . The. construction of the Thames' Valley Railway, either by Government or private enterprise, will still bo' kept in view. " . . •* I shall urge also the completion of the Auckland Lunatic Asylum, the Supreme Court-house, and the "Post-oifice. ' « I am, Gentleman, Your obedient Servant, F. H. TBCTOP. fjpo THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Gentlemen^— Having reason to believe' that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and khowihff that I did my best-to do so* I offer myself, as a Candidate for re-election. . There is nothing I can say that will enable-you'to know 5 more of mo than you do now, as I am-anrd . have been personally, known for many years to nearly all of you. f As to what is to be done now, x say let us, 'as far as possible, manage our own affair?. Surely we, who _ know, and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whoso interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect, me, my conduct will be the same in the future as'it has been in. theipast—an endeavour, as far. as possible, to get unity-of action among our Membors ; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to put uower into the hands of the people—not'to de prive 'hem of it; and that all great questions should bfr submitted to them. = . • - WM.
