ELECTION NOTICE. TO THE 343 ELECTORS OF DUNEDIN CENTRAL WHO SIGNED THE REQUISITION ASKING ME TO CONTEST THIS SEAT. f^, ENTLEMEN.— I had no intention of Contesting the \JC Seit rendered vacant by the death of our late esteemed Member, Mr. Bradshaw. The strong desire expresseu by a large and influential body of Electors that I should allow m\self to be rominated for my old Constituency, has, however, caused me to reconsider the matter. The spontaneous expression of confidence, which your requisition conveys, is an endorsement of the verdict returned by ore-half of the electors at the last contest, and I should therefore be ungrateful, indeed, if I refused the honour offered me. It has, as you are aware, been entirely unsolicited by me, and it is therefore a comDliment that cannot be too highly prized. If returned as your Representative, I can only promise to support, as I did in the last Parliament, every measure having for its object the welfare of the Colony. I may state that I am a staunch advocate of a judicious system of encouragement to Native Industries. I look forward to a higher destiny for New Zealand than merely growing the raw material to be manufactured by other nations. I hold that if the Colony is to prosper we must have our lands occupied by industrious yeomen who possess a knowledge of agriculture, and we must have a manufacturing population in our towns to work in concert with our county settlers, so that the prosperity of the Colony may depend, in a great measure, on New Zealander3jalone # Thanking you very sincerely for the confidence you have expressed in me, I am, Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, THOS.
