JONES, SADDLER, HARNESS-MAKER, & IMPORTER, 1 154, QUEEN STREET. TO THE ELECTOES or the 1 PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. Gentlemen,— In pursuance of the announcement made "by me when consenting to become a Candidate for the office of the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland that I would take an early opportunity of laying my views before you, I have now the honor t6 state that for some years past I have looked upon the Provincial Government as costing more money than it was worth, and this view I have repeatedly ex pressed to some members of the Provincial Council without being shown by any of them any reason to cause me to alter or even modify my belief. My opinions as to the desirability of getting rid of the Provincial Government of Auckland have lately .been strengthened, as I feel perfectly satisfied that thegood derived if oin its operations are not at all commensu rate with-its costs, and as I .am quite convinced that nearly all the work done by»the Provincial Govern ment could be done better, more economically; and with greater satisfaction to the ratepayers through the instrumentality of local boards and local instituting than by a Superintendent resident in Auckland. In addition to' the expense that would, in my opinion, be gaved'to the country by the work of the Provincial Council being done by local road and other boards I believe that these boards would work more harmoniously with the General Government th>n the Provincial Government has hitherto done; and as opening up the country is the undertaking of greatest importance to the colony the best method of getting the work done should most certainly, in my opinion, be adopted without loss of time. And as regards the goldfields I entertain no doubt that the people on these fields could manage their affairs without the intervention of a Superintendent not resident in their neighbourhood, and that their 'local i representatives could deal better with the Supreme Government of the Colony than a Provincial Government. ■ ■ ■ With reference to the desirability of having, the railways pushed on quickly of course I entirely concur,, and with regard to fostering the establishment of native industries I presume I need only refer you to my actions .during the last few years. With regard to the present Government I believe it,.to. .be the most able Government that New Zealand ever had, and I fully expect that if the Government receives from the forthcoming General. Assembly that support to which I consider them entitled, the native diffi culty* and all other obstacles to the government of tho colony will disappear I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. S. MACFABXANE. Auckland, Juno 5,1878.' TO, THE ELECTOES OF TJ±E DISTRICT OF THE BAY OP ISLANDS MONGANUI AND WANGAROA,.. . ' GknTlbmen, -I have the honor to offer myself as a Candidate for Election to the seat in the General Assembly vacated by Mr McLeod. I have resided in New Zealand latj about thirty years, and may be Jcnown \o many of your community;,but as I ;have never bc6npi«ct any politicial or public office, you may desire to- know the grounds upon which I ask your SUAllqw me then to state that I. ask your votes In belief that you, will, consider that niylengthened ex perience in business matters, coupled with my know ledge, of local concerns, will enable me to form a correct judgment of-what measures'l should support in the .Assembly as being likely to be beneficial to your district; and I take leave to solicityoitr attention, to the fact that I have ever been ready to promqto and encourage all those undertakings and industries calculated to advance the prosperity and wealth of 'the colony; in short, while many have peen counsel ling theestablishinent of new industries, I have in a great many instances created most useful and valu able institutions; ~.', '•" • •'.'. ■•■ ,' With regard to the present Government, .my. views are most .favourable to the policy which they have inaugurated. I consider the.Government-essentifllly one of progress, and I beUexe.that.the great schemes of public works and immigration are of incalculabte value to the whole colony, as being the best means for promoting settlement 6£>' pdpulaflon,* as thereby se curing peace. But though'l:eo highly appreciate the value of the schefnes referred' to, I do not asseit that in the carrying out of the same .serious mistakes have not; alreadyj been) made, many of which would possibly have been avoided had the Government received more cordial support and assistance from the Assembly, as I consider that much valuable time was ; lost,, and the energies of the Government distracted or paralysed by' Opposition, .which had the effect of impeding and delaying the business of the country, one ot the many Public' Works so delayed being the .Railway, from Kawakawa Coal-mines to deep water. J. trust you ' will pardon me for asking you to keep in view, when deciding for which candidate ypu'will record your votes, that any meniber Bent to ths Assembly who.is likely to be antagonistic to the present Government,' or favourable to the Opposition, will, ia my opinion, most seriously Injure your district and the coiintry generally.
