'0 THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. ENTLEMEN,— At tho request of a JT large number of my fellow wttlera I aye consented to stand for the district. I feel honored by the distinction of being jkoil to represent the district which I have ved in for seventeen years, and have seen j improved by settlement as to be one of le best in the colony. I need hardly say that if returned I shall o my utmost for the electorate. While feeling that I should be greatly ouored by b3ing returned, I yet consider hat Electors are under an obligation to a lember, if he does his duty, for the time, rouble, and expense he is put to on their ichalf. I regret that I cannot spare time at this msy season of the year to canvass, nor am I o wealthy as to be able to spend money over he election. I will at the larger centres of population iddress the Electors and give such informaion as to my political opinions as may be iccessary, which, combined with a knowedge of me that a great many of my ellow-settlers have, should be amply suffi;ient to satisfy Electors in voting. I should, if returned, expect to exercise jntire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to vote as I think right and best suited for the constituency. I am a believer in the present Government, with Sir Harry Atkinson as Premier, though I should not be a blind supporter. I think the late addition to the Ministry and the new distribution of seats likely to strengthen the present Government ; and I consider their steady conduct in the affairs af the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment.has materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing. This country, I believe, is now recovering from the long depression, and only wants a, continuation of the present careful management, and rest from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leaps and bounds as formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis. i should vote for reduction in taxation directly it is possible. I believe in every facility being given for men of small means to acquire land, and that land for such purposes should be opened tor selection wherever suitable. In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe in absolute free trade, removing all possible restrictions. I am a strong advocate of free education, but consider that under present circumstances the cost is greater than we can afford. From my long residence here I know the district intimately, and our wants and interests are identical. I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full justice to the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may possess I should use it to the utmost of my power for the better government of the country and the benefit of the district. 630 A.
