TO THE ELECTORS OE THE DISTRICT OF WAITEMA.TA. Gentlemen, -Finding it impossible to return to New Zealand in time for the ensuing session of Parliament I have this day Resigned my Seat as Representative of your district in the General Assembly, and in thus acquainting ycu of this I would take the opportunity of not only thar.king you for the confidence y.u have s > long reposed in me, but also of asking you to preserve the kindly feeling which has at all times existed between us I intend returning to New Zealand shortly, and need scarcely nssure you that it will afford me great pleasure to be again called upon to represent my old and valued constituency. I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, THOS. HENDERSON. San Franciico, April 27,1874. TO THE ELEOTOBS GE THE DISTRICT OF WA.ITEMATA. Gekti/embk, — Consequent upon the retirement of Mr Thomas Henderson from the representation of your district' in tho Legislative Assembly, I have th« honor to offer myself as a Candidate for tho vacant Seat. ... At the present juncture there are three objects which the Representatives of the people of this Colony should strive to secure. They are— Firstly: The establishment, on a firm and lasting basis, of good and peaceful relations between the Settlers and the Natives. • Secondly : Tho careful and wise expenditure of the money borrowed for Public Works, so that they shall do good to districts such »s W'aitemata, a large and important portion of which has suffered, so seriously from want of proper communication. And, Thirdly : A. careful supervision of the system of I Immigration, upon which the success of the Railway and Public Works policy must of necessity to a large . extent depend. Deeming the completion of the Kaipara Bailway as ■of vital importance to the Waitemata district, I have taken, all alor^g, the greatest interest in the pressing on of that work, and its extension from Riverhead to Auckland ; and a few months ago I originated a de putation to the Honorable the Premier, from the Chamber of Commerce, when he was shewn the large promises of traffic /which the district offered if com munication by rail was secured. Then, and subse quently, the assurance of Government was obtained tnat the lice would be constructed, and that the Auckland and Riverhead extension will shortly be commenced Since then an adverse report by the Engineer-in-Chief has been published, and the aban donment of the extension been referred to I con sider that the faith of the Government and the Legislature is pledged to the extension cf this line to Auckland, for, from the Engineer's own shewing, the line incompleted will be of little value to the district: while, fully finished, it would be of immense service in developing a latent trade, increasing settle ment, and thereby addicg to the products, profits, and prosperity of the settlers. If you honour me by returning me as the Represen tative of your district I shall make this a prominent point in my exertions on its behalf ; and I feel sure that, aided by other members and the justice of the case pleaded by me, the Kaipara Extension Railway will soon be an accomplished fact. . I may add that in all matters concerning the in terests of the district, the province, and the colony at large, 1 shall, if elected, use every effort to promote their welfarfe ; and hope to cultivate such satisfactory relations between the Electors and myself as Member for the district as those which have for ao many years existed between you and your late represen ai hope shortly to have an opportunity of addressing you personally, snd shall then more fully enter into matteis of colonial and provincial concern. I am. Gentlemen, • Your obedient Bervant, G. YOU DER HEY.DE. TO P. A. PHILIPS, Esq, MAYOR, M.P.O. Sir,—We, the undersigned, Electors of Waitemata, respectfully request you will become a candidate for the Electoral District for the Seat in the House of Representatives vacant by the resignation of Thomas Henderson, Esq. Should you consent we pledge our selves to vote for you, and do our utmost to secure tour return—We we, Bir, your obedient servants, John Leek S? vidß« rn\i George Banks ™°mas £°* * WillUm Atkin Wls i»m BoA d m Thnmaa Dndor V.
