GRAHAM, RICHAB.D SECCOMBE, AND THE OTHER REQUISITIONISTS. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to accept your requisition, inviting me to became a Candidate for the Representation of the District of Eden in the General Assembly. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, HUGH CARLETON. Auckland, December 15,1875. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICT OF EDEN. ■ . ' Gentlemen,—l bavo accepted a requisition to come forward as a Candidate to Eeoreaenfc you in the Assembly. My Political views are so welUmown that very few words may suffice. You are aware of them from rny votes in the Jlouse, for a period of seventeen years, and from my frequent correspondence with the Public Press. . , . ',- In the last Session of Parliament, much was abolished, seemingly in accordance with the wishes of the people. A harder task is now before us,—that of construction. Toward this, I offer all that I can lay claim to; experience in legislation. It is the hope of being useful that brings me out, If elected, I should strive to extend Local Government to the utinout. I desire to strengthen the Upper House by election, under such regulations as would ensure that end. I am desirous to promote the harmonious action o' the Northern Bepresen tatives,- an object to bo attained by fair give and take on all sides. In this I should not be found wanting. It is my belief that a great reduction of public expenditnre might be effected if tho task be undertaken by the House irrespectively of party. I have little I should be found ready to act, as I always have been, in tho exposure of every abuse without regard to persons. I am in favour of reducing the members' " honorarium" to payment of actual expenses. I am opposed to the borrowing policy, bnt admit that works undertaken havo to be completed. The practical consideration now is, how to stave off heavy taxation, for payment of interest on the debt If taxation be unavoidable, I should vote for such as would press lehst upon tho necessaries of life. I am of opinion that the interest of the debt ought to bo made a first charge upon tho Land Fund of tho whole Colony ; and have no party ties to hinder mo from an outspoken expression of that opinion. I am of opinion that the two Islands ought to be equally represented in the Assembly ; and that failing this, other means should be sought towards neutralizing political predominance. I shall take an early opportunity, if permitted, of meeting the electors. I am. Gentlemen, Yours obediently, HUGH CARLETON. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTIUCI OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,— ,At tho requestor many of «oy old friends, I do myself the honor of again soliciting your j suffrages at the forthcoming Election. My long connection with your.district, the identity of Interests which exists between us, and your knowledge of my first career, both politically and otherwise, render it unnecessary that in makiDg (his announce, ment I should enter into any further particulars. On an early occisiou I shall have the pleasure <>f ■meeting you in the principal parts of tlio district, and then explain more fully my views and opini ins as to the present condition of the colony, and the main questions which are likely to come under the consideration of the new FarlUment. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Toun faithfully. THOMAS HENDERSON. Auckland, Bth D«oe»ber, 1875. ~.., . . J; mo THE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,— Being assured that several of the candidates, desirous of representing ?our district in Parliament, are making an, active canvass of the electors, aud endeavouring to obtain pledges of theirvotes, 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 nlso being likely to lend to the stirring up of • animosity botween friends. I trust, that my mode of action may not bo misconstrued into indifference to obtain the support of all electors who may deem mo worthy of their confidence. .
