E]ec;oral i it ■iiiould bo ,",iven to s?>en (o afquiru freeholds is a Hulj-'Ct npou .vliicii nil aro agreed, ami assuming I hat purchasers might expect move liberal terms from the Government than from privuto holders, it is wise that the Government should bo the purchaser from tho natives in the first place. Such being the case, the object of the administration in my opinion should tie the spoedy acquisition of all the waste lands of the Colony, anil, being acquired, surveyed, and cut up, the bnd should be thrown open upon favorable terms to men willing to occupy, and in time to purchase under a system of deferred payments. The revenue derived from the safe of such lands would reimburse the Government for the first cost, and besides might furnish the means of opening up the country by roads, and probably defray to some extent the cost of the branch lines of railways, which will require construction after the main or trunk lines are formed from the loans raised for that purpose upon the credit^of the whole colony. It is scarcely necessary for me to refer to the question of Education, as for years I havo been an advocate of the present secular, free, and compulsory system, and if elected will strongly resist any attempt to alter an Act which has been found to place within the reach of every child in the colony the means of getting a good liberal education, and which has since its introduction , bestowed such blessings upon the youth 'of New Zealand. The claims of this electorate to a fair proportion of public works, the early completion of the Thames and Waikato Railway, the construction of a line to the East Coast, the acquisition of the freehold of the goldfield, the claims of the local governing bodies to continued monetary assistance from the Government, the amendment of the County and Municipal Corporations Act, the throwing open of the Upper Thames lands for selection, the question of aiding our timber and other industries, and a number of other matters, all bearing upon the best interests of this e3ectorate f are objects that would receive my attention should I have the honor to be returned as your representative. I shall, at an early date, address you at the various centres of population, and at greater length make known my opinions upon such subjects as are of interest to this constituency. WM. McCULLOUGH.
