Notices. i. TO THE ELECTOES OP CITY WEST. riENTLBMBN^T be- to inform V-* you that lam a Candidate for your suffrages, y and my principal reason for being so is" owing to the ,f action taken by the other five candidates in employing lf paid agents to secure signatures in order to have ihem j selves alone-not only individually, but collectively— g returned. Admit they are chosen by a majority of. c live, who is to represent the minority unless the elec -3 tion is contested? Allow Provincial Institutions are s on the decay (and I trust soon to be supplanted by j Local Boards, having only a paid secretary ami 5 engineer). Grant this; but are the Electors of City I West to give a block vote to those ftvo on the ticket who do not deign to condescend to call a meeting and give expression to their views on the questions of the day. Then, if so, I say if they vote for those men let every right, honest-minded man unite with me in saying perish at once Provincial Institutions. I Electors of City West, no man has a right to seek your vote unless he gives you an honest expression of what lie intends to advocate. Now, hear mine. Let us first unite in saving this country from being sunk deeper in debt. Let useless officials be shewn the door and earn their living as God and Nature intended— by the sweat of their brow. Next, let us advance and ' promote education by all means in our power ; and understand by this I mean a good, sound, national sytsem of Secular education, and in entertaining this view I may lose many a vote. But in giving my opinion thus I speak from known and practical ex , perience I received my elementary education in tho A ational Schools of Ireland, established by the Earl ot Derby, and my best and loving schoolmates were those of different creeds ; and now, in my mntr.re years, I can honestly say that my best friends are also those of different denominations. Say in a locality where 60 or SO scholars could be found professing five or six different creeds, it is plain they cannot have a school to suit oach denomination, and I should think it is equally as plain if they cannot have five or six schools that tuey must have one, and that it must be conducted on the Secular system ; if not, see the re sult. The master will have at certain hours to call up all Protestants ("Come to your lessons"), then all Catholics, next all Presbyterians, and so on to tho last two scholars, who happen to be Jews. Enforce this system, and you at once throw into that school the apple of discord, for each party will tell the other they have no chance of goin? to Heaven and the end will be that they cannot be kept from fighting and killing one another. Now I think every man who intends to make this place his home should use every effort in his power to stamp and crush out every thing that would tend to create religious strife and ill-feeling amid the rising generation of New Zealand. On the Permissive Bill question I may state briefly that I am not m favour of any well-conducted house being closed up, and thereby increase the trade of the adjoining iu° f •■,} sllall "HMngly aid and assist any movement that will have for its object the prevention of drink being landed on our shores. Let none be allowed to importit but chemists, and a heavy flneinflicted if sold except on a doctor's prescription ; to effect a cure in any disease the root must be grappled with. Bring pressure to bear on the Government of the day to pass a Bill of this kind, and it will be no longer in their power to increase their own salaries. I have now honestly stated my views If they nnet with your approval elect me as your member. But if, on the contrary, you reject me for giving you the honest ex pression of my sentiments, in that case I shall consider ( it to be a greater honor to be at the bottom than at the top of the poll. There are no loaves and. fishes attached to it. On that account I cannot afford to employ any paid agents ; nor yet on principle will I bail up any man for his vote ; and if returned I will give the interests of the Province and City West Dis trict my fullest attention.
