Election Notice. f^.O THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. JL. GENTLEMEN,—At the repeated solicitation of a large number of Electors, who believe that my ser vices at Wellington, at this important period in the i history of our country, may be of use; and, at the I urgent request of Mr. D. Goldie, who retires in my favour, 1 have consented to allow myself to be nomi nated to fi'l the vacancy caused by the retirement of Sir George Grey. If elected, I shall go down to Wellington prepared to give Sir George Grey my hearty co-operation and support; and, in the great political changes which are now taking place, to, unite with the other Auckland members in endea vouring to obtain for this Province a controlling voice in her own government, and a fair share of the revenues of the Colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, - ..-I ,-■''' B. TONKS. Queen-street, Auckland; July 17,1876. rpO THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. I am determined to go to the POLL at all hazards. H. W. FARNALL. <TpO THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. Gentlemen.—ln consequence cf the Writ fjr the Election of a Member for your District for the Seat vacated by Sir George Grey being forwarded from . here and returnable by telegi aph, I find I shall be unable personally to conduct my canididature for the vacant seat. This, although it places me at a con siderable disadvantage in not being able to explain in person my reasons for aspiring to the honor of repre senting you, and also to sta*-3 my views upon the present political position ; yet at the same time, it is not without its advantages, as, should you do me the honor of returning me, I should be able to tak e the seat at once, without the week's delay which would necessarily intervene, should your representa tive have to travel here from Auckland. Before entering on subjects of political importance, I will explain how and why it is I come before you now as a candidate for your suffrages. It will be in the recoollection of those of you who took an interest in the recent general elections, that I was a candidate for the representation of Rodney, a district I had represented in the last Parliament, and also in the previous ope. At the nomination for Rodney, at which there Were four candidates, two on the side of the Government, and two in Opposition, Sir George Grey, who was presumably the leader of the party to which J adhered, cime forward and proposed Mr' John Sbeehan. In doing so he stated that Mr Sheehan was his right hand man, that his presence in Parliament was essentially necessary to the well-being of the Province, and that he did iot know what he could do without him. On Mr Shepherd, one of the Government candi dates withdrawing from the contest, it became at once apparent that either Mr Sheehan or myself would have to withdraw, nnless we wished to place chances in favour of the remaining Government candidate being returned. My proposer and myself consulted with Mr Sheehan, and it was ultimately decided that I should revire in his Uvour, on the distinct understanding that should Sir George Grey ultimately elect to sit for the Thames, I was to be supported by Sir George Grey's party for City West, I wes influenced in this decision, as also was my proposer, by the eulogium passed on Mr Sheehan by Sir George Grey, for we felt that under the circum stances we should not be ju»tilled in keeptng out of Parliament a genth man to necessary to the party as its leader stated Mr Sheehan to be. The course that I took in this matter gave.however, great offence to several of my friends and supporters in the Rodney District, for they were impressed with the belief that they could have returned me as their representative. It was only when I informed them of the arrangement come to between Mr Sheehan and myself that they became reconciled, for thej saw I could look after their interest equally as well as member for City West as if I were their own chosen representative. This, gentlemen, is my reason for offevlng myself as a candidate for your suffrages, and I feel confident that the inborn love of honesty and fair play which every Englishman possesses will cause you to acknowledge that I am perfectly justified i_ pressing my claims upon your notice. As I have previously stated, I am a supporter of Sir George Grey, and opposed to the present Government. I am, and always have been, a Provincialist, and would rather see the present Provincial system re modelled than swept away altogether. The Counties Bill now before the country appears to me to be simply a bill to create twenty-two Provinces in the North Island instead of four, with the astounding difference that each of the twenty-two Provinces way indulge in the luxury of raising Joans, whereas the Provinces as at present established are prohibited from so doing. There is also a clause in the bill enabling a County to borrow in order to pay off previous loans. This appears to be now the system upon which the finance ' of this Colony is conducted. I am toti'ly opposed 1 o this, and consider ihat loans should only be raked for reproductive works, and any deficit should be met out of revenue. I am opposed to any change n the Constitution that does not cause the land fund of the Colony to become Colonial Revenue. In my opinion, the forma tion of the two Islands into two Provinces, with a Federal Government at Wellington, a common land fund, and each province to enjoy its own Customs revenue, would best meet the present emergency. lam strongly of opinion that one vigor ous Government for the North Island would soon expose and for ever settle that bugbear—the Native difficulty. I also think that tho Public Works and Immigration policy can be far more economically and more satisfactorily conducted by a local Government in each Island than by a Chamber composed of a majority of Southern members. As regards the Native question, I consider the position in which we stand at present towards the King Natives as most disgraceful, and if allowed to continue much longer will bring down lasting shame, upon us. A member of the Ministry stated in so many words the other night, that "at present we must. be content to submit to them," i.e., we are to remain passive spectators Whilst a portion of the Native race (who are Her Majesty's subjects' as well as ourselves) _ openly defy us, and are to sit with folded hands whilst peaceable and innocent settlers are being murdered, without making any attempt to bring the murderers to justice. If this is the view oi



Ministers, I feel convinced it is not the view of the New Zealand public; and the sooner the present , Ministry are displaced to make room for men in whom the traditional spiiit of our race is more strongly j developed, the better. In conclusion, I may say that I look upon tho opening of the country by means of roads and bridges, in order to facilitate the occupation of the land, is of far more importance to us than the continu ance of, the present extravagant system of Govern ment, and, should I be returned, I shall support tho leader of the Opposition to the utmost in cutting down the suicidally extravagant expenditure of our present ruler 3.
