Kawau, February 2-1, 1875. QUPE U im ENDENCY ELECTI O N. to si a george giugjy, k!c.b. Sir, —We, the undersigned electors of the Province of Auckland, hereby request that you wili allow yourself to be nominated as a candidate for the office of Superintendent; oi the Province, vacant by tbe death of John Williamson, Esq , and we pledge ourselves to use our boss exertions to secure your return. [Here follow the signatures.] Re p l y. TO THE GENTLEMEN SIGNING THE REQUISITION. Gentlemen,—-In reply to your requisition. I have the honour to state that, if elected Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, I shall accept tlie office, and do my best to fulfil its duties in such a manner as to pro mote -he happiness and welfare of the in habitants ol the.Provinoo. I consider the position of Superintendent of this Province as a most; honourable one, and as rdifceting credit upon any man who may hold it. Yet, if lam .elected to the offico great pergonal sacrifices will be entailed on me of many kinds. I shall, therefore, not feel myself called on to make the efforts ursual in such ccisen to secure ray election ; but, iT I am chosen Superintendent, a sense of the duty I owe to yourselves and to a people I have so long striven to serve_ will make me forego all personal considerations, and devote my whole time and energies to fulfil the duties tho public call upon me to perform. I shall strive to show that it is the desire to serve one's country and feliow-JJifc_: which gives dignity to a public position, not the title by which that position may be called. Generally, I would stats to the inhabitants of this Province that 1 consider the office of Superintendent to be an Executive, and not a political one. If elected, I will, therefore, not use fire position for any political purpos _ I will faithfully administer the laws, and any means placed at my. disposal, in the manner tbat appears to me to be best for the general good, and I will, by all becoming means, strive to obtain their rights whether pecuniary or of any other nature for the people of the Province, and then see that they are allowed to exercise and enjoy those rights in the manner most advantageous to them. Although attached, nnd strongly attached, to Provincial institutions, I well know that it is the duty of every man to yield to the views and wishes of the majority ot bis fellow-countrymen, when these views aud wishes are ascertained by constitutional means, and are clothed with the authority of law. Whatever form o( Government may be thus introduced into New Zealand, I shall at all times endeavour to make a success, and conducive in all re spects to "the peace, satisfaction, and pros perity of the people of the Colony. I believe that it is clearly the duty of the Govern ment to state in detail the nature cf the in stitutions they propose to take the place of tho existing Provincial ones, and to allow the people of New Zealand ample time to consider them, and to express their opinions upon the subject. But if Provincial in stitutions are to be swept away in any part of the Colony, I should desire to see such change made a general one, and to have such institutions established in the place of the existing Pro vinces, as would secure to New Zealand gene rally at least these extensive rights in regard to legislation and other matters which the Provinces now possess, and to the various couutry districts a larger share of local self government, and a greater and more direct control over local revenues than is now given to them. To derive full benefit from the sys tem of Immigration and Public Works now being carried on, from which, if judiciously conducted, such great advantages must flow to the country, I should consider it the duty of the Superintendent- to assist, to the utmost of his ability, the Colonial Go vernment in bringing that policy to a suc cessful issue. The Superintendent, upon his part, will have a right to expect from the General Government the expenditure within the Province of that share of the monies borrowed for public works to which it is justly entitled, its due proportion of immi grants brought out by public funds, the prompt payment of all revenues and other monies, lawfully belonging to it, a rigid economy in the expenditure of the monies devoted to Immigration and Public Wqrks, a strict prevention of ail extravagant per sonal expenditure from these funds, and the immediate relinquishment to the Provincial Government of all lands purchased from the natives in the Province for the benefit of its people ; for it is only by a rigorous attention to these details that the Immigration and Public Works policy can attain to that success to which it is so justly entitled. The Superintendent should, in my opinion, see that all requisite steps are taken to pro , vide for the reception of. immigrants, for their comfort and well-doing on their first arrival, and that energetic measures sre taken to secure the permanent location iv the country of the population now here, and of the immigrants who may arrive, by' holding out inducements to take up lands in the best positions which can be seoui'ad for them, and thus lead them to become permanent occu piers and cultivators of the soil. Active steps should be taken to induce people possessing capital sufficient to enable them to undertake.the cultivation.of the.soil,,and the employment of labour, to a^ain resort to this Province, and means might also be advan tageously taken to enable children of estab lished settlers to occupy farms of wastelands, and thus to contribute, as their fathers have done before them, to establish the prosperity of the Colony on a lasting basis. Believing that the mining interest in this great .Province ia as yet only in its infancy, I think the Superintendent should always remember how industrious | a portion of the community the miners are, how largely they contribute to the- per manent wealth, and to the revenues of the Province'and Colony, how trained they have been in the habits and hardships of Colonial life, and how important it, therefore, ia tc the Colony to. retaih them here. To attair



Electoral. J-- '. his desirable object, measures should be devised by which they could occupy free -3 holds white still ensued in milling pursuits , —restrictions at-present placed upon them should ho modified aud relaxed, and theun -3 eqcs.! taxation to whioh they are now subject should be re-adjusted and equitably dis tributed over th» entire community. I do not think that the principles which control and regulate general public education J ia this Province, as they have now been 1 settled, iieed be re-opened by the Superin tendent ; but I do think that tho 1 system of taxation established for educa -5 tional purposes should be reconsidered. All who draw wealth or revenues from this 3 country are interested in seeing that rising j generations grow up educated and well-con , ducted member- of the community ; but it is the duty of all to contribute with some refer ence to their wealth, and it seems hard to oblige tbe struggling labourer to pay largely from his small means for this purpose, whiist those who draw great incomes from . New Zealand pay but a trifle in proportion to their ability, or, if they be absentees, pay ; absolutely nothing. 1 J. originally devised and introduced into 1 this Province a system of Hundreds, presided ; over by Wardens, which has since been elabo rated iuto the present Highway Board system, lam glad to know that these local bodies have '. well earnedand deserved each fresh concession ' that has been made to them in the direction i of local self-government, and. I think tbe i Superintendent should strive to increase their j powersJso as to^enable them to perform many | local acts which can now only be done for ! them by the authorities at Auckland or Wei : lingtoh. I have thus stated my views upon some of | thechief points which are likely to occupy the I attention of your new Superintendent. I have, j with much care and deliberation formed I opinions upon other points perhaps of equally I great importance, and-probably opportunities j will offer of my expressing myself in reference !to them to the electors. I have stated i already that I cannot, for various reasons, ! have recourse to the methods usually adopted by a candidate with the view of securing his return ; but I have said this with no intention of avoiding proper duties, or of evincing any want of sympathy with my fellow-settlers, or their happiness or interests. I have, in retirement, had an opportunity of reflecting much, and of form ing conclusions, under undisturbed and favourable circumstances. I have no desire to obtrude my views ; but. if the electors desire that I should personally address them, I shall consider it my duty to go to Auckland and the Thames—the two chief centres of population — for that pur pose. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, I Your obedient servant, G. GEEY. Kawau, March 5, 1875. "VTEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT LIFE. INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES. The above Department affords the following ad vantages, which are secured by special Acts of | Legislature, oyer any other office in the colony :— 1. All policy holders participate in the profits of . the Department. __.. 2. The Premiums are lower by at least 7s (seven shillings) per cent, than those of any other office. 3. The Security is infinitely superior to that of any private office, the consolidated revenue Of the colony being available for any deficiency. 4. The whole of tho money paid in Premiums is retained in the colony, whereas in private offices so much capital is sent to foreign parts. ' - ; ' 5. Policies for wife or family are absolutely pro tected from creditors. 6. No policy is forfeited by non-payment of Premiums after first year, so long as sur render value will insure the amount. Por example, a person aged forty, insured under a Policy on which five annual payments had been made, would not forfeit it on account of non-payment of Premiums until the expiration of five years and eighty-six days from date of default, provided that the other conditions of the Policy had not been violated, and it could be renewed at any time within such term, on paying up arrears with interest; or if it became a claim within that time, the Policy would be paid, less arrears with interest. No Policy need therefore be sacrificed in consequence of tlie pressure of any temporary loss of employment or other mone tary embarrassment. The Investment of Funds is by special Act of.' Parliament in Government Debentures. Agencies at every Money Order Office in the Colony. W. J. --MOOXEY, Agent for Province of Auckland. HOURLY Expected,; bj .
