Electoral Notices TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIBARAPA SOUTH. Gentlemen,— In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of yoar district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret the recent division of the old electorates, and in this expression I feel satisfied public sympathy goes with me—not only in this, but in the majority of other districts of the colony. Union, and not dissension, should be the watchword of all the sections of such a district as this, as well as of all its settlers, whether living in town or country. The widespread feeling which has recently arisen that, if we are to prosper as a colony, we must unite in developing the many natural resources which lie in abundance around us, has found its expression in the prominence attained by the local government and other similar questions during the last session of Parliament. Since becoming settler amongst you, any services I may have been able to render in this direction have always met with the most generous recognition ; and I can only assure you that, if elected, no effort on my part will be spared in assisting to place these all important questions upon a satisfactory footing. The Native question requires more than passing notice. It is intolerable that the colony should be called upon to maintain a standing army at such a ruinous expenditure, and Te Whiti should be sternly told (in deeds, and not in words), that his latest departure is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions which will engage the attention of electors, I shall be happy to explain my views at the several centres of population in the electorate. While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by the Hall Government at a critical period of the colony’s history, I shall decline to pledge myself to any party, but wil' give my support in the direction best calculated to develops the material interests of the country generally. I remain, Yours faithfully, 7443 W. C, BUCHANAN. rjlG THE ELECTORS OF THE HUTT. Gentlemen, — I have the honor to solicit your suffrages as a Candidate for the seat in Parliament at your disposal.
