Electoral Notices TO THE ELECTORS OE SOUTH WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, — In response to numerous requests, I beg to inform you that I am a Candidate for the representation of your district in the House of [Representatives. I shall take an early opportunity of putting my political views fully before you, and, as 1 believe that they will be found to be in harmony with those of the majority of the electors, I trust to be favored with your support on the day of polling, I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. B. EDWARDS. Island Bay, 27th October, 1881. 7451 TO THE ELECTORS OE WAIRABABA SOUTH. Gentlemen, — : , In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of your 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 develope the material interests of the country generally. I remain, Yours faithfully, 7443 W. C. BUCHANAN. rjAO THE ELECTORS OE THE HUTT. Gentlemen, — I have the honor to solicit your suffrages as a Candidate for the seat in Parliament at your disposal. I trust shortly to have the pleasure of meeting you in various parts of the district, when I will explain the political opinions that X entertain, and sketch out before you the course of action that I intend to pursue if returned as your representative. I am, Gentlemen, Yours very faithfully, 7301 HENRY JACKSON. TO THE ELECTORS OE THE FOXTON DISTRICT. Gentlemen, — At the request of numerous electors I venture to offer myself as a Candidate for the Foxton seat in the new Parliament. I shall have the honor of stating my political views to the electors at meetings to be held on early dates, of which due notice will be given. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 7219 WM. FRANCE. rjpo THE ELECTORS OP THE HUTT. Gentlemen, — At the request of my friends, I am induced to offer myself as a Candidate for the seat in the new Parliament as the Representative for the Hutt Electorate. At an early date I propose to state my views on the great questions of the day. My endeavour will be in the future, as it has been in the past, to promote the welfare and progress of the colony in general, and of the Electorate in particular. Yours faithfully, THOMAS MASON. Taita, September 24th, 1881. 7143 TO THE ELECTORS OE THE SOUTH WELLINGTON DISTRICT. At the request of many friends and electors, I beg to inform you that I am a candidate for the honor of representing you in the next Parliament of New Zealand. I shall take an early opportunity of perj sonally explaining my views to you, and if you deem me worthy of so great a trust, it will be [ my earnest aim at all times to promote the interests of this district, and New Zealand in general, irrespective of parties. Yours obediently, PAUL COFFEY. Olyde-quay, 29th October, 1881. 7483 O THE ELECTORS OF THE FOXTON DISTRICT. Gentlemen, — Some years ago I had the honor to contest the Manawatu seat with the present Postmaster - General, and, although defeated, I obtained a substantial majority of votes in the settlements now included within the new Electoral District of Foxton. On thanking my supporters for this expression of confidence, I promised to offer myself again on some future occasion. The approaching General Election affords me that opportunity, and I have now to announce myself a candidate for the honor of representing your District in the new Parliament. It is my intention, before the election, to visit the various centres of population for the purpose of explaining to you fully my views on the leading questions of the day ; and, in the event of my being returned, it will be my earnest aim at all times to prove myself deserving of the confidence and support which I now solicit. I am, Gentlemen, yours faithfully, WALTER L. ROLLER, Wellington, Sept. 26, 1881. 7174 O THE ELECTORS OE THE THORNDON ELECTORAL DISTRICT. Gentlemen,— I have the honor to inform you that 1 shall be a candidate for the representation of your district at the coming election, and in soliciting your suffrages, I trust that my past acts as a public man justify me in asking your support and the continuence of the confidence so generously reposed in me during the time I have represented the City of Wellington. In the event of your placing me in the position to which I aspire, you may rely on my every effort being devoted to the advancement of your interests and the progress and prosperity of this city, with which I have been all my life identified. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, W. H. LEVIN. Wellington, 24th September. 7162 O THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF. WELLINGTON, Gentlemen,— The new Representation Act having now received the Governor's assent, I shall shortly be compelled to hand back to you the trust you have confided to my keeping for the past two years. While I much regret the voice of Parliament has decided that the unity of the city constituencies is to be disturbed, I yet hope to bo selected to serve the electoral district of Thorndon in the next Assembly, and, in the event of my election, I shall none the less devote my energies, as hitherto, to the advancement of the city as a whole. No words that I can use would give adequate expression to my feelings of gratitude for the consideration I have invariably experienced at your hands, and I shall ever entertain a warm recollection of the confidence reposed in me during the time I have had the honor of representing you. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, W. H. LEVIN. Wellington, 24th September, 1881. 7161 TO THE ELECTORS OE THE FOXTON DISTRICT.
