TO THE ELECTORS „ viv OF THE EAST COAST ELECTORAL DISTRICT. / ENTLEMEN,— I-beg to oflfer myX^X B el£ as a candidate to represent your interests m Parliament. From my loug residence on the Coast, I am intimately acquainted with the requirements of the electoral district, and if elected, my main object will be to secure for the district that justice m the - matter of expenditure upon public works which has hitherto been withheld from us ; at the same time- giving my assistance m passing the many important liberal measures, which iriitat, m • the next Parliament, engage the attention of the people's representatives. Should you do me the; honor of electing me as your, representative, I/shall vote for Triennial Parliaments, Manhood Suffrage on a residental qualification to Europeans, and franchise to men of the Native race who are "enrolled on; the ratepayers' rolls, or who hold individual or undivided grants of land from the Crown. : I will support a Bill for the adjustment of representation, on the basis of population. Such a Bill would secure for our district an additional member, thus enabling the Bay of Plenty and Poverty Bay to send each its own repreBentatiye to Parliament^ wllich, m my opinion, should have long ago been the case. - With reference to the.' administration of Waste Lands, Tarn ; bf opinion that the present system has! not worked satisfactorily to the country ; I' would, therefore^ support any measure ; which would have for its effect the vesting of all Waste Lands. Iri County Councils, ' giving those -.bodies, the full powers vested m the present Waste Lands Boards. ■••.".' I approve of (portions, of the Waste Lands being sold on deferred payments with a view of promoting the settlement of the country^ having : Wtched . ' th'je, operation of this system .m the Middle Island and found it to work beneficially, j All Waste Lands should be Bold by! public auction m the principal tpvfn^ or towns, of the county m which such lands may be situated. I shall, if elected, endeavor to have all existing land disputes : between Europeans and the- Government referred"to arbitration at once for final settlement, so as to place the country on a sound footing, and m all cases which afterwards shall be given m favor by Government, occupiers should be remunerated for all improvements. I consider that to effectually put a stop to the present difficulties m the acquisition of Native Lands, the Natives should be treated as Europeans. „ Failing this, that- the Government should hold a pre-emptiv6 right over all ► lands which have not yet passed through the Court. • - : I shall take the earliest opportunity of personally visiting the various centres of population m the district, and more fully communicating my views. •' • : lam, Gentlemen, Yours ' faithfully, Allan McDonald.
