Electoral, rpu TEE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,—l beg to announce myself as a Can didate to n present your interests in the forlhcoming Parliament. I will take an early opportunity of ex pressing my views on the important questions now occupying public attention. Your obedient servant, W. J. HURST. Auckland, 9th December, 1875. Hjp.O THE ELECTORS OF THE DIS TRICT OF WAITEMATA. GENFLSMsy,—I have the honour to announce that at the foithcomirg General Election for the Parlia ment of New Zealand it is my intention to offer myself as a Candidate, to represent your interests in the House of Representatives. I Inve the honor to be, gentlemen, Your obediont servant, J. S. MACFARLANS. Auckland, December 3,1875. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DIS TRICT OF WAITEMATA. Gbstlemsn,—At the request of many of my old friends. I do myself the J-cnor of again soliciting your suffrages at the forthcoming election. My long connection with your district, fhe identity of interests which exists between us, and ycur know led^ of my past career, both politically and other wise, render in unnecessary that in makitig tfcis an nouncement I should enter into any further particu lars. • • At an early occasion I shall have ihe pleasure of meeting you in the principal parts of the district, and then explain more fully my views and opiriions as to the present position of the colcny and the main questions which are likely to come under the con sideration of the new Parliament. I have the honour to be, , Gentleman, Yours faithfully, THOMAS HENDERSON. Auckland, December 8, 1&75. qpO THE ELECTORS OF WAITIMATA. ■ Genti/emes, —The day is fast approaching when yon will be called upon to exercise the privilege and birthright of British subject.", to elect a member to repre3tnt your intecesta in the next Parliament Qf Kew Zealand. As a candidate for your suffrages, I feel called upon to state, for your consideration, that I am of opinion that as a means whereby to secure the confidence and attachment of the people, and maintain the peace, order, and good government of New Zealand on a sound and permanent basis, it ia desirable to declare and recognise the principle that every effort should be macte to secure insular separation of the Northern and Southern Islands of ]New Zealand, by the Thalwog of Cook's Straits, with a Federal Govern ment ; the details of which will, no doubt, have to be arranged by many compromises. I am further of opinion that unless federal separa tion can b8 brought about satisfactorily, to reconcile present conflicting interests, Ancklaid should at once resort to every cinstittuiocal - means of agita tion to secure to itself both financial and legislative powsr3 of self-government, and claim to decide its cwn constitutional future; and out of an ample customs revenue of £300.000 (three hundred thousand jonnds) make provision for securing the payment ol a fair share of the public debt. I am, Gentlemen, &c, &c, WALTER LEE. Albsrt-street, November 25,1875. rjno THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON (Jektlemen,—Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. - There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage. bur own affairs. Surely, we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interestp are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in the past—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure J to put power into the hands of the people, not to Beprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them. WM. SWANSON. pITY EAST ELECTION.
