From my loug residence on the Coast, I am intimately acquainted witli 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 must, m the next Parliament, engage the at ten-, tion of the people's representatives! - Should you do me the honor of electing me as your representative, I shall vote for Triennial Parliaments, Mnnhood Suffrage on a residental qualification to; Europeans, and franchise to men of the Native race who are enrolled on the rafcepayei"s' rolls, or whp hold individual or undivided grants of , land from the Crown. : 1 will support a Bill for the adjustment of representation,, on tlie 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 repre- , sentative to Parliament, which, m my opinion, should have* long ago been the case. . : ' ' ■ : ■■.■■•■'■■.■' '■ ;; ' ; ' With reference to the tidministratipn of Waste Lands, I: am of opinion: that the present sydtem lias not .wdrked satisfactorily, to the country j 1 would,, therefore, support any measure which: would have for its effect the vesting of all Waste Lands m County Councils* giving those bodies the . full powers vested m the ; present Waste? Lands Boards. ;r I approve of portions of the Waste Lands being sold on deferred payments with a view of promoting the settlement of the country, having Watched the operation of this Bystem m the Middle Island and found it to work beneficially. All Waste Lands should be sold by public auction m the principal town, or. towns, of the county m which such lands^ may be situated. I shall, if elected,; endeavor to have all existing land dis^ putes 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 I^ative Lands, the Natives should be treated as Europeans! Failing this, • that tlie Government should hold a pre-emptive 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 th& district, and more fully communicating my views. ;- „"■•"; I ani, GentlemeiH ' ; : .•. •!
