EAST COAST ELECTORAL DISTRICT. / ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myS elf as a candidate to represent your interests in 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 in the matter of expenditure upon public works which has hitterto, beeiywithheld from us ; at the same time giving my assistance in passing the many important liberal measures, which must, iu 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, Man- ' hood 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 in- : dividual or undivided grants of land ' from the Crown. 1 will support a Bill for the adjust- ■. nient 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 representative to Parliament, which, in my opinion, should have long ago been the case. . ' ' • '/. ' "* VV~ith reference to the administration of Waste Lands, I am of opinion that the present system has, not worked satisfactorily to the country ; 1 would, therefore, support any measure which would have for its effect the vesting of all Waste Lands' in County Councils^ giving those bodies the full powers vested in the present Waste Lands Boards. I approve of portions of the Waste Lands being sold on deferred payments j with a view, of promoting the settlement of the country, having watched the operation of this system in the Middle ' Island and found it to work beneficially. All Waste Lands Bhould be sold by public auction in the principal town, or . town*, of the county in 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 in all cases which afterwards shall be given in favor by Government, occupiers should be; remunerated for airimprovementa. I consider that to effectually put a stop to the present difficulties in the acquisition of Native, Lands, the Natives should be treated as Europeans. Failing this, that the Government should hold a pre-emptive right over all lands which have not yet passed through the Court. . . ; . > -i „ . I shall take the earliest opportunity of personally visiting the various centres of population in the district, and more • fully communicating my views. I am, Gentlemen, 3% Yours faithfully, allan McDonald.
