ELECTORS OF THE WELLINGTON Gentlemen, —I offer you my services to represent you in tlio Parliament about to be elected, and I solicit your support. Five years ago, when I was personally known to but very few amongst you, I was induced to contest the scat with the sitting member, and although I was then unsuccessful, the support which was accorded me, and the encouragement and kindness which 1 experienced in all parts of the district, incline me to believe that now, when I am bettor known both personally and publicly, my candidature will prove acceptable to a majority of ray fellow electors. When I last addressed you, I expressed a strong conviction that one Government and one Legislature would be quite competent to provide for the peace, order, and good government of the colony. 1 urged that the existing form of Provincial Government should be abolished, and that the management and administration of matters of purely local concern should be placed in the hands of Municipal or Shire Councils, endowed with necessary means and well defined powers, 'these views were not then generally popular, but T have the satisfaction of knowing that they are now entertained by a large majority of the electors of the Colony. I hope to see them effectually carried out by the new Parliament, and trust that I may he enabled to have a part in the task of framing new institutions, calculated to fully develop the true principles of local self-government, and so promote the well-being of the Colony. Believing that the people should hi; consulted before any radical constitutional changes were made f, during the late session, strenuously opposed the proposal that an expiring Parliament should legislate dellnitely on the subject. With the form in which the Abolition Bill became law, I however, cordially agree, and 1 need scarcely say that I should to the utmost oppose any attempt to prolong the existence of the present Provinces as political entities, or to revive Provincialism in any shape or way. The proposal to create two Provinces in each Island I regard as especially dangerous. The practical effect would be insular separation, and the whole scheme is altogether opposed to Colonial interests, No plan of Constitutional reform will be complete which does not provide for an alteration in the Constitution of the Legislative Council, so as to bring that body more into accord with the spirit of J?opresentative Government. I think, also, that the financial condition of the colony demands the earnest attention of the people, and that economical reform in the administration of colonial finance is imperatively required, as well as a revision of the incidence of taxation, so that the revenue may bo raised more equitably as well as be administered more prudently. On these and other subjects of interest at the pre. sent time, I shall take an early opportunity of addressing you fully and personally. I have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, E. T. GILLON.

npo THE ELECTORS OF THE -1. WELLINGTON COUNTRY DISTRICTS. Gentlemen, —You will shortly be called upon to elect a member to represent you in the next Parliament. I respectfully solicit that honor. The abolition of the Provincial Governments having been so far accomplished, I would support a strong Central Government with extended powers of real local self-government to counties, municipalities, and road-boards ; and would oppose separation of the islands. I have every faith in the Public Works policy, involving the construction of roads, railroads. &c, but have no faith in it, unless settlement by industrious families takes precedence of the present pernicious system of allowing the country to bo bought up by speculators. The Land Laws, and the Native Land Laws, require altering. I should support that party who will relieve the burdens of taxation upon the necessaries of life, and who will make the monopolists of land, property, and capital, contribute their share to the revenue of the country; considering as Ido that New Zealand has been a fertile field for land speculators, and foreign capitalists, who hitherto have escaped payment of taxes of any importance. I would support a measure to make the Legislative Council elective. I would support a liberal system of Education. I would at all times bo ready to advocate any local wants the constituency may require Parliament to consider, and would support all liberal measures for the benefit of the colony generally. To the Early Settlers and their families I will explain that the petition presented by their true friend Sir George Grey, K.C.8., was favorably received by the Public Petitions Committee, and the services of the pioneers so far recognised by Parliament ; and I have the further assurance of Sir George Grey and other influential representatives that in the early part of next session the claims of the pioneer settlers shall again be placed before Parliament, and justice done. I will take opportunities of explaining more fully my views upon the various subjects that will engage the attention of the new Parliament. I remain, gentlemen. Your obedient servant, .1. 11.

Floitiline !—'Von the Teeth and Dreatii.—A few drops of the liquid “Florilino,” sprinkled on a net, tooth-brush, produce a pleasant lather, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiarly poarlywhiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoke. “The Fragrant Florilino,” being composed in part of Iloncy and sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discovery of the age.
