mo THE ELECTORS OP THE 1 WAIRABAPA. Gentlemen—--111 view of the dissolution of Parliament, I have respectfully to intimate that it is my intention to seek re-election for the district It is my intention to hold meetings at the several centres of population, when I shall place my views on matters both of local and general interest fully before you. In the meantime I may state that I intend to give a hearty support to the programme of the Liberal party, including the repeal of the Land Tax, the imposition of a Property and Income Tax, the reduction of the taxation on the necessaries of life, liberal Land Laws, Triennial Parliaments, the vigorous prosecution of Public Works, and other the Governor's speech at the opening of Parliament. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yoiu obedient servant, HENEY BUNNY. August 11th, 1879. 223 mo THE ELECTORS OF THE I W4IBARAPA.

Gentlemen— A Government which has been declared by an overwhelming majority in Paffiftinent to be guilty of tin' 'grossest maladministration," has appealed to the people against this verdict, In my opinion, it ought to he thoroughly endorsed by a refusal to re-elect those who voted on the Government side. The two members for this district on this, as on nearly all previous occasions, gave opposite votes, therefore, if there is anyThis being the case, I offer you my services, and, if elected, I shall do my best to assist to place, and support'in office, a Ministry which, instead of beins; content with enunciation of great principles, and malting reckless promises, will give practical effect to the measures, which, in my opinion, ought at once to be adopted, in order to avert both a Native War, and. a serious financial catastrophe. I altogether deny the right of the present Ministry to monopolise the name of '• Liberals." It seems to me absurd to say that we must submit to their maladministration, because their principles ate right, when there is nothing to prevent our securing the advantages of the latter, without the evils of the former. These principles are held by most thinking men in the colony as it has been long seen that tho progress of events has prepared the way for their adoption, and therefore I am quite prepared to support in the main, the measures indicated in tho Governor' speech, but they must be given effect to by more competent men than those wno nave so muddied tho Land Tax, that after the enormous expense already incurred in attempting to collect it, there is every reason to believe that it will have to be abanI cloned, and an Income and Property Tax substituted.

Ibo urgent wants o( ;hc country are, in ray opinion, retrenchment, a satisfactory solution of the Native difficulty, with a view to the speedy occupation of lauds now so unprofitably held by them. Settlement on Crown lands of the large proportion or our population, now dependent solely on public expenditure. Encouragement of the immigration of persons with sufficient capital to settle on land, and of capital in any way which will tend to devolop the resources of the colony. Concurrently with this some better provision must be made than mero local rating for connecting tie outlying districts with the railway lines and for the formation and maintenance of roads through unsettled districts, and the Counties instead of being expected as at present to'' make bricks without straw" must be placed in a position to fulfil the obligations thrown on them. In conclusion I will only say that 1 have now been long enough before you in various capacities to enable you to form an opinion as to how far I am qualified for the honorable position in which I ask you to place me. I trust every elector will recognise the importance of tne contest, and will not therefore fail to record his vote. I hope soon to address you at a series oi meetings when I will more fully explain mv views: I am, Gentlemen, ' Yours respectfully,
