HENDERSON. San Francisco, ' \ April 27; 1874. v [•' TO THE ELECTORS OE THE "DISTRICT OF WAITEMATA. ; GEKTi.KM-.K,-i*f3onsequent upon the retirement of Mr Thorn's Hen»trson from the representation of your district in the Legislative Assembly, I have,.. th» honor ;to. offer myself as a Candidate for the vacant Seat.. , . ' i - !At tho present juncture there are three objects j 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 rela.ions between t^ie' I Settlers and the Natives. \ Secondly : The carfful and wise expenditure of the money borrowed for Publ c Works, so that t.hey shall do good to districts such »s Waitemata, a large and important portion of whiqji has suffered so seriously from want of proper communication. And, • Thirdly: A careful supervision of the system of ■ 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 along, 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 t ffi which the district offered if com munication by rail- was secured. Then, and subse quently, the assurance of Government was obtained tnat the line 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 bahalf ; 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, T shall, if elected, use every effort to promote their welfare ; and hope to cultivate such satisfactory relations between the Electors and myself as Member for the district as those which have for sO many years existed between you and your late! represen . tative. . ,•'[' 1 I hope shortly to have an opportunity of addressing you personally, and shall then more fully enter into matte, s of colonial and provincial concern.
