■ Election, THE SUPERINTENDENCE SELECTION. ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. GENTLEMEN,— It appears to me that it has now 1 ecome desirable that the con trol of Auckland Provincial affairs should be trans ■ ferrcil to tha hands of others than those by whom the province has been governed fluting the past. I With splendid resources in land, com], gold, iron, ! and other minerals ; with a climate unsurpassed by : any in the world ; and with a sturdy and | industrious population of from 00,000 to' 70,000 j people, who pay some £300,000 per annum |in t'lX.s in one shape or another for purposes I goon* government, public works Ac., it is ! saddening to find that we as a province are not only i malum; little or no ndvai.ee towards pern ancnt pros perity, but that at many point* we are actually retro ; grading. | T attribute this state of things to misgovernment, j the ill-judged expenditure of mibbc money and ex travagance in the past, which have entailed upon tbe ' j community grievous bunions in the form of public. i debts, for which intomf and sinking funds have now I to bo provided by oppressive tariff duties and other I forms of taxation. I So far has this state of'bines already gone that at I the pres'iit moment the Provincial" authorities of Auckland are at their wits'end, and find it oxcecd | ingly difficult and embarrassing to provide adequate moans even for such an important object as educa- I ton This Province is placed at a further disadvantage by reason of the manner it Irs been dealt with by the General Government in the expenditure of the larce loans which were ncgotia'ed on the credit of the wjiolo colony for purpos-s of Immigration and j Public Works. Although we in Auckland ar« | chargeable with the re-payment of about one-fourth j part of these loans, and although we contribute in ) about that proportion towards providing interest and ; sinking funds thereon, yet owing to want of united ■ action by our Superintendent and Representatives only a very small portion of the borrowed money has , ben employed for our benefit. I Our Provincial Bevenuc for the ensuing year will probably be under £50.000. and out of this sum we have to maintain our Police, Gaols, Hospitals, Lunatic i Asylums, Sick and Destitute. Harbours, &c, which cost some £33,000 per annum. After paying the Provincial salaries anil Departmental expenses on the present scale little or nothing will therefore remain for aid to Road Boards, for Bridges, Kerrios. Tram ways at the Goldficlds, Ac, and in view of this state of things 1 belli ye it is our tirst duty to reduce these Provincial salaries and Departmental expenses to an amount proportionate to our altered means. Our next duty is to require at the hands of our re presentatives that they unite in demanding fr,->m the Assembly and tbe Government that justice shall no longer be denied to this province in the matter of the expenditure nf tbe money borrowed upon our credit conjointly with that, of the rest of tbe elony. I desire tobccoi c Superintendent of the Province that I may be in a position to give practical elfeet to the above views, ami that there may he rnmo com bined effort made to hi ing about, a different state of tilings that more vit'lity may be imparted to our in dustries, such as Mining, Agricultural pursuits, Trade nuil Oommereo, ami Manufacture*. If, however, you ;ire content, to go on as of vorc, and elect a politician of the old Auckland school, 1 think you will find, when too late, that ad ditional burdensome taxation must specdilv be resorted to. You will also probably find that the old system of denominational education will be introduced into this province, a system so often used as an instrument of favoritism to one party and ot oppression to another; a sv stem so productive of sectarian jea'ousies and bickerings that it has been abandoned by more advanced communities in favour of a national secular educa tional system. Should you restore tho old retime to power you will also find that the control nf the Police will scon be transferred to the Piovineial authorities to be used as it was before, for parly or political purposes During this election contest r have been treated with unfairness by a portion of the Auckland tress, but as many of you arc aware the persons whom th'-so papers represent are interested in reintroducing and continuing the state of things which has led the province into its present position I.v the abuse of political power and patronage in the p-ist they them selves have been unable to prosper, while the pro vince has so languished that it can hardly be in a worse position, and it now r-sls with you electors to say by your votes whether you will entrust your a frails for another period of four years to the old hands, or whether you will give nic your confidence and support, that I may with the aiil of a well clKsen Provincial Council be enabled to inaugurate a change towards a better anil healthier era. If you d me_ the honour to elect rue I will apply myself diligently anil strenuously to effect retrenchment in Provincial salaries and other Oepartmental expenses • to obtain just'ee for the Province at the bands of tho General Government and to provide permanently for the means necessary to carry out a system of education without resorting to any such obnoxious and unjust measure as the present i_ducntion Tax I am, Gentlomen, Yours faithfully, .1.

Kerosene. C AMER ON'S DIAMOND KEROBINE OIL, 112, AND OVER FIRE TEST, AND GUARANTEED NON-EXI'LOSIVE. 0000 WE call your attention to this Oil, which we recommend for families, being as white as pure spring water and perfectly free from smoke, smell, odour issuing from common Oils, and burns longer without trimming or crusting the wick than any other Oil. 0000 For Sale by all dealers In New Zealand. Sole Agents in Auckland: JO H N ROBE RT 0 N & C 0., DURHAM STREET. T\ OWNER'S KEROSENE, 3s. Cd. PER GALLON. DEVOE'S KEROSENE, • a. PER GALLON. Delivered in any Part of the City. Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should! be used by Consumers in preference to _ny ■ i.ne Petroleum Oil. Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than 125° Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It sives less trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process j has been adhered to from the beginning, without re I gard to expense. _3T N.B.— DOWNER'S KEROSENE is THE ONLY BRAND Thatjwillj'give[entirojsatisfaction in the.Anucapnic Lamp.
