' j i . ;■')'■' ■■'■■'- ~ ! — i , . ; r H? ying been requested by a number of my -fellow-citizens to allow myself to be placed in • nomination at the approaching election for ftEfe. i*-tioi3^ r^ i sl )er of the House of ; A Representatives, I Have much pleasure in spacing, my services at your disposal. The dissolution of Parliament has been brought -about by a vote being carried against Sir ; i Geoige Grey's government, affirming th&p l^theyhSvtsineglfected.ari'd mismanaged the adj- ; ministrative business -, of; the Colony. Tbi£ opinion I fully endorse, believing as I do, that the Ministry, as at present constituted, is no ■ longer eutitled to the confidence of the peoplp ■ of New Zcn.ln.nd. Moreover, lam decidedly . opposed to the autocratic will of one man governing the country. Tbe real question before the constituencies is simply one of administration. As to the policy indicated ; in the Governor's speech, that was not discussed during the recent brief session of Parliament. ! 1 ouching my politics I may declare myself a -liberal in the taiest.sense of the. term, Jbeing • altogether,; in favor of equil able legislation . between /class rand fclass abd mari and; man, and shall do my^uttgvmost to promote this should you do" me the honor to elect me as your representative. On a former occasion I expressed myself in favor of an extension.of •the franchise by the addition of a residential ; of triennial Parliaments; arid of a readjustment of the boundaries of electoral districts— always provided that property as well as, persons is represented. While 1 am in f avTor of 'indirect taxation thrpugSTthe - -Custom _36u^e7as- a means of raising Colonial ! revenue, I should be glad to see the neces,saries of life relieved from all bnrdens'jby a transference of these to a large variety, of articles which may be termed luxuries?-' I ■ .hayej briefly;; alluded to the leading questions ' whiclf how engagepnblic attention. If there ■■ should be any other subject npon which : information .is ? required, IsbaU.fi.nd opportu^ nity between-this and polling day to declare myself more fully. - "V - I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, < * '■■ Your obedient Servant, 7 --? ' ■;■;:... .-■;.:. J. WALKER BAIN, rpO THE ELECTOKS OF WALLACE. Gentlemen, — ' ':_? , In soliciting a renewal of the confidence ; ' ybu reposed in me at the last general election, I deem it necessary to refer briefly to my action as your representative. Returned pledged to support Sir George Grey in -hi? opposition to Abolition, I found myselfr-iu common with others — when tbat unconstitutional change was finally effected, free.to form fresh party relation? without laying myself open to any charge of breach' of faith. It was at this" juncture that Sir George Grey gave it to be understood that he-in r tended to devote himself to the task of shaping the legislation of the colony in accord 'with Liberal principles — principles which I had myself, to the best of -my ability, for many years persitently advocated, and I therefore unreservedly gave in" my allegiance to his leadership. That he has since, against the bitter— almost it might be said malignant— opposition of the privileged classes, striven with all the force of a--character remarkabie for firmness and decision, to bring about urgently-needed reforms, is undisputed.? For this reason I have been and am a " Greyite," a term sometimes used as one of- reproach, but which I regard as the symbol of staunch adherence to a policy, the leading points of which are "familiar in men's mouths as household words,"— a policy '.■that the opponents of Sir George dare not openly gainsay. The extent and scattered nature of the population of the district will prevent the personal canvass that I should like, but I shall hold as many meetings as possible at the several centres of settlement for. the purpose of fully explaining my viewsj. Meantime, *' , f J I remain, ? .. J i Gentlemen, \ Yours respectfully, , | , v . . . JAMES P. JOYCE. TO THE ELECTORS OF RIVERTON DISTRICT. \" Gentlemen, — At the last General Elections in 1876, as you are no doubt aware, I intimated in my notice of withdrawal from the contest for the representation of your district that I would again offer- my services whenever a vacancy occurred. In accordance with that promise, I lihaye to become a candidate at the approaching election, arid* I'have how the pleasure of soliciting your suffrages. , ! ] As my interests are still' identical with /those of the majority of the electors, I feel "that I may fairly claim, your 'support. „ J J-l will avail myself, at an early date, of an opportunity of explaining , ray views' on the : leading political questions; of the , day , when I have every, reason to believe that' they will be -found to be in accord rwit'h.-yJDurs, - ', , " , I am, Gentlemen, \ ' \.
