Election JNotice. i fflO 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 history of our country, may be of use; and, at the urgent request of Mr. D. Goldie, who retires in my favour, I have consented to allow myself to be nomi nated to fill the vecaucy caus-d by the retirement of Sir George Grey. If elected, I shall go down to Wellington prepared to &ive Sir Gco.rge Grey my hearty co-operation r.nd support; and, in the great political changes which ?-e 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 Co'ony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, B. TONES. Queen-street, Auckland; July 17,1876. npO THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. I am determined to go to the POLL at all hazards. H. W. FARNALL. fF.O THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. Gentlfmkn.—ln cod sequence rf the Writ for *he Eicotion of a Member for your District for the Seat vacated by Sir George Grey being forwarded from here and returnable bytelegiaph, I find I shall be unable jrerson?!'y to conduct my candidature for the vacant seat. T_.i., although it paces me at a con . iderable difaiv-ntage in not being able to explain in person my reasons for aspiring to the honor of repre senting you, and also to sta le my view;, upon the present political position ; yet at.thi rame time, it is not without its advantages, as, should yon do me the honor of returning me, I should be able to tak the seat at once, without the we.k's delay which would necersarily interyene, should your rep*e"enta tive have to travel here from Auck'and Before entering on subjects of rolitical importance, I will explain how and why it .3 I come before you now as a candidate for ycur suffrages. It will be in the recoollection of those of you who took an interest in the recent general elections, that I wrsa candidate for the reprehension of Rodney, ad-strict I had represented in the la>t Parliament, and also in the pravious one. At the nomination for Rodney, at which the^e were four candidates, two on the «ide of the Government, and two in Opposition, Sir George Grey, who was presumably the loader of the prrty to which I adhered, cime forward and prorostd Mr John Shcehan. In doing so he Eta'.ed that Mr Sheehan was hi. right hand man, (hat his presence in Parliament was essentially necessary to the well-being of the Province, and that he did 1 ot kaow what he could do without him. On Mr Shepherd, one of the Government candi- ) dates withdrawing from the contest, it became at ones apparent th_,t either Mr Sheeh.<\n or myself would have to withdraw, naless we wi.hed to plice +he chancei in favour of the rernVnirg Government candidate being returne*.. My proposer and myself consult d with Mr She*., an, end it was ultimately d'eided that I should re."re in hs favour, on the distinct understanding that should Sir George Grey ultimately elect to sit for .he Thames, I wai to be supported by Sir George Grey's patty for City West, I was influenced in this decision, as also was my proposer, by the er.iogirm passed on M. Sheehan by Sir George Grey, for we lelt that under the circum stances we should not be ju:tified in kceptug out of Parliament a genth man to necessa' y to the party as its leader stated Mr Sheehan to be. The course that I took in this matter gave.howevar, great offence to several of my friends and supporters in the Rodney Distrx., for they were impressed with the belief that they could have returned me a. their representative. It wr.s only when I informed them of the arrangement come to between Mr Sheehan and myself that they became reconciled, for they saw I could look after the'r interest equally as well as member for City West ,s if I were their own chosen representative. This, gentlemen, is my reason for offering 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 n pressing my claims upon your notice. As I have previously slated, I am a supporter of Sir George Grey, and opposed to tbe present Government. I am, and always have been, a Provincialist, and would rather see the pre ent 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 loans, 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 totally oppo.ed lo ' this, and consider ihat loans should only be raised for reproductive works, and any deficit should be rhet 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 be3t meet the present emergency. lam strongly of opinion that one vigor ous Government for the North Island would coon expose and for ever settle that bugbear—the Native difficulty. I also think that the 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 j folded hands whilst peaceable and innocent settlers ; j are being murdered, without making any attempt to 3 I bring the murderers to justice: If this is the view of I Ministers, I feel convinced it is not the view of the



! New Zealand pubMc: and the sooner the present Ministry are displaced to make room for men in whom the trr litional spirit of our race is more strongly develop:.!, the tatter. In conclusion, I may say that I look upon the 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 the leader of the Opposition to the utmost in cutting down tho suicidally extravagant expenditure of our present I am, Gentlemen, Yours very obediently, H.
