DAMANT, SO2 Returning Officer. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE FOSTON DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN —I have again to request the honour of your Votes at the approaching election. Under present circumstances it,is impossible to predict what parly will he in power after the new House meets.' I come forward as au independent candidate, pledged to no party, but willing to support that which is likely to be heat for the colony. We are very deeply in debt, and our expenditure during the last year has exceeded our income. We must retrench and adopt a course of strict economy. X think that the cost of the Civil Service may be materially reduced, aud especially a great saving effected with regard to the Native Office. The working of the Education Act coats far too much money. Whilst maintaining the principle of the Act, I would reduce the amount spent upon it, I am in favour of retaining the Legislative Council with its present constitution, hut I would abolish the payment to the members of that House, and reduce by one-halt tlie payment to the members of the Lower House. I am in favor of the State selling land on the deferred payment system. The price of the land should be low enough to enable the poorer settlers to take advantage of the system. X am not in favor of the theory which advo. cates the leasing only of the public estate. If such a system weie adopted, I fear settleis of means, with practical agricultural experience, would be deterred from coming to the colony. They would object to a new change from landlords elsewhere to landlords here. I am entirely opposed to the resumption by the Government of the pre-emptive right over native lands, I am opposed to further borrowing, except for most absolutely necessary purposes. The Main Trunk Line of Railway must be completed. Money must also be fouud for working the Roads and Bridges Construction Act. For this purpose the Government might borrow on the English market and lend to j local bodies at English rate of interest, taking proper security for repayment of principal aud interest. X have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 390 CHAS. B. IZARD. TO THE ELECTORS OF TE ARO. GENTLEMEN, —I am again a Candidate to represent you in Parliament.
