- -Eleotorai r : : - - 0 THE ELECTORS OFISE t ■ ' /V ' Gentlemen,—l have accepted a qnisition to come ; forward as. a Candidate .td Eewent you in the Assembly. f ., j* - My Political views are so well kjvn that very fow words may suffice. You are awarpf them from my j votes in the House, for a period ({seventeen years, j and from my frequent correspondffce with the Public a Press. ' ' / s In the last Session of Parliamt much was abolaeemingly in accordance w| the wishes of the people. A harder task is now bete us,— that of construction. Toward this, I offer (i that £ can lay - claim to ; experience in legislatiol It ia the hope of ] being useful that brings me out. 1 ' If elected, I should strive to eid Local Government to the utmost I I desire to strengthen the Uppeiouse by election, under such regulations as would enre .that end. - lam desirous to promote the haionious action of , the Northern Representatives ; to be attained by fair give and take on alldes. In this I should not be found wanting. It is my belief that a great redut>n of public expenditure might be effected if the tq be undertaken by the House irrespectively of pai. I have little j hope from any Government wliateve. - I should be found ready to act, j I always have been, in the exposure of every abuse jthout regard to persons. lam in favour of reducing the " honor- 1 arium" to payment of actual expensel I am opposed to the borrowing plcy, but admit that works undertaken have to be conleted. The practical consideration now is, Iw to stave off heavy taxation, for payment of interei on the debt If taxation be unavoidable, I should for such as would press least upon the necessaries llife. I am of opinion that the interest of ie debt ought to be made a first charge upon the Lai; Fund of the whole Colony; and have no party tieso hinder me from an outspoken expression of that dnion. I am of opinion that the two IfllarW ought to be equally represented in the Assembly ; & that failing this, other means should be sought toLrds neutralizing political predominance.* r | I shall take an early opportunity, ifjermitted; of meeting the electors. j >. I am, Gentlemen,I Yours - .

Auckland, December 15, 1875. TJ\O THE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,— -Being assured that several of the candidates, desirous of representing your district in Parliament, are making an active canvass of the electors, and endeavouring to obtain pledges of their votes, I deem it my duty to intimate to you that I disapprove altogether of trying to influence electors to give any promise whatever, and that I consider such proceedings to be virtually an improper interference with electors, and calculated to destroy the usefulness of the vote by ballot, as also being likely to lend to the stirring up of animosity between friends. I trust, therefore, that my mode of action may not be misconstrued Gito indifference to obtain the support of all electors who may deem me worthy of their confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. s. macfarlane. Auckland, 10th December* 1575. mo THE ELECTORS OF WAITEMAT A.
