Gesti,emes—candidate for your suffrages, • I have now had the honor of ] representing you in Parliament for nearly three years, during which period I have, I believe, never lost an opportunity of conserving your inte- »;»«, uuu nave always endeavored to procure for your important district a fair share of Sir George Grey ara now thoroughly endorsed by large majorities of both branches Of the Legislature. The maladministration of the present Government in nearly all brandies of the public service has seriously affected the progress and well-being of the Colony. The question of the settlement of a population on our Waste Lands has not as yet, in my opinion, received the attention its importance demands, A liberal extension of a deferred payment system is, I consider, the best method to encourage the settlement of an industrial population. The present circumstances of the colony do not warrant a continuation of Free Immigration, but I am prepared to support a liberal system of Nomination, A Property and Income Tax would, Ibe lieve.be the fairest system that could be adopted to ensure that all classes of the community should bear a just share of the burdens of the Colony. The repeal of the import duty on Timber a nd Grain was a grave error. In tome districts of the colony the effect has been most disastrous. An Electoral Bill similar in character to cordis support. _ Fencing and Drainage are subjects of great importance to this district. Further legislation on these questions has become a necessity. The Counties Act will require many important amendments. The Rabbit Nuisance Act also will require careful amendment by tho new Parliament, The system of personal Government that meut is eminently unsatisfactory, I believe that the time has arrived when the Natives should be treated as reasonable beings, and not in an exceptional and unjust manner. While the colony, as at present, is able to borrow on favorable terms, I am convinced that it is a judicious policy to laise loans for expenditure on reproductive works. I shall endeavor to meet you as soon as possible in tho various centres of population. 1 shall then have the honor to address you more fully on all matters of local and general import. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 225 ■ GEORGE BEETHAM,
