Gentlemen, —Your requisition, inviting me to stand for Wakanui, adds one more to the many tokens of goodwill whioh I have received from my fellow settlers in the County of Ashburton. Although I would much prefer at the present time to take no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre sented to me is almost of the nature of a command to discharge a public duty. I therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton £ shall, if returned, be prepared to support whatever measures he may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as would conduce to the establishment of any industry which gave promise of fl mrishing in the land ; but I would object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. 1 should vote for the purchase of the District Railways, at an equitable price, as between the shareholders of the railways and the ratepayers of the colony, and would advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should never have been placed upon the Statute Book. The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast I regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the t overnment should take in hand immediately, should it not be taken up by a London Syndicate. Upon the question of Federation, I am of opinoin that New Zealand should, as far as possible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter mined by a Federal Council should be limited to defence against a common enemy, the exclusion of European criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other matters in which there could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT, To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the requisition. COAL AND FIREWOOD DEPOT. R. S. BEAN Is now landing (ex Sunbeam) A SPLENDID SAMPLE OF NEWCASTLE COAL.

Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest. I did so, and from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.
