John Dalgliesh James Harvey Wm Weeden Invercargill, December 1, 1875. / l ENTLEMEN,— I feel deeply gratified by \JT this renewed proof of your confidence, and I haye much pleasure in placing my name at your disposal, as a candidate for the representation of Invercargill in the next Colonial Parliament. My opinions are already pretty widely known, and I shall take an enrly opportunity of meeting the electors, for the purpose of a further interchange of views on the political topics of the day. In the meantime, I may say briefly, that I regard the question of the abolition of the present form of Pro\incial Government as practically settled by the legislation of last session, which I am convinced no future Parliament will ever repeal. Pressing questions which still demand attention are : — The further simplification of administration ; increased economy of expenditure ; the extension of local Belf government, and the settlement of the land These objects I regard as of the highest im» portance, and if returned, I will Jeel it my duty to promote them to the utmost of my power. While keeping theßC and other larger questions of Colonial importance always steadily in view, I need hardly add that it will be my care in the future, as heretofore, to give every attention to matters of more purely local interest, should the constituency again return me as their representative to the Assembly. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN R. CUTHBERTSON. ! To the Gentlemen signing the Requisition.
