TO THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST. GENTLEMEN,—In compliance with a numer ously-signed Requisition, I offer myself as a Candidate to represent City West in the House j of Representatives. i I beg to state formally the principles which shall guide me, if I should have the honour of b.ing~ chosen by you. I profess to follow Sir George Grey, and to be a Reformer and an Economist. The resolutions proposed in last Par liament by Sir George Grey would have had my hearty support. There being no prospect of the Land Fund being brought into hotch-pot, and made colonial property, the policy of Auckland must be Financial Separation, leading ultimately to Insular Separation. The Counties Act, with its precarious subsidies, having turned out to be a trap, and a mere taxing-machine, I would seek to secure Local Self-government on the basis of the existing Highway District system. As Auckland in the past suffered greatly from dis union amongst it. representatives, I think they should self-denyingly and patriotically strive after that union, which is strength. It is high time that the Government of New Zealand should become something move than a .Hoard of Works and a Borrowing Association If we are to keep abreast, of the ago. legislation must em brace social as Avell as political questions. A watchful eye must be kept upon govermental extravagance aud indirect bribery, and upon the growth ot! officialism, and corruption of the Native Department. I should strongly oppose any attempt to dispose of the colonial railways to English monopolists. In view of the universal tendency of all Goarern- ments to acquire railways in the public interests I should regard it as a fatal blow to colonization if the advantage now enjoyed by Zealand in this resp'Ci; ivere sacrificed to meet a tem pera "y difficulty. Tne franchise, liberal as it is, will soon have to bo placed on a just or and broader basis, in order to check the intrigues of cliques. Sanitary matters demand far more attention and science than they have as yet received here. There is great need of our laws being simplified, and of their administration being cheapened. In a young country the protection of some industries may be temporarily not disadvantageous, but commercial prosperity is inseparably connected with freedom of trade. The providing of the means of education for the young ought to be considered one of the most important depart ments of our affairs. Time, no doubt, will be required for the discussion and settlement, ot some of the foregoing questions, and I have iioav alluded to them in order to indicate the lines in which I think the future legislation of New Zealand must proceed. If 1 should have the honour of being returned to represent you in the General Assembly, I pledge myself, Electors of City AVest, that my voice and my vote shall be given on behalf of Freedom, Education, Economy, and Progress; and against Centralization. Extravagance and Demoralization, which have so.deeply marked political life i" the colonies. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JAMES WALLIS. mOTHEEL E C T 0 R S OK AUCKLAND CITY' WEST. Gentlemen. —At the request of a number of Electors and Citizens of your district, I otter myself as a Candidate to represent you in the General Assembly for the scat vacant by tho resignation of B. Tonks, I.sq. Having been a resident in Auckland for 35 ye*vs, and, during that time, a Member of the Gcnoi'nl Assembly for 12 years, it is but reason able that, I should haA reacquired that experience which should lit. me to l»u your representative. 1 may, without egotism, refer you to my course of action in the past as a guarantee for the faithful performance of my duties in the future. I need scarcely say that I shall strive to Ithc utmost of my power to make the Colonial Land Revenue available for Colonial purposes. The arrangement of ISSU carriedinjustice on its face, and I was one of several Auckland members who not only voted agaimst it at the time, but petitioned the Home Government to disallow the arrangement. In my mind nothing would tend more to the advancement of the North Island than the laying out of reserves of land for tho natives, and the individualising of native titles for the remainder. If such a. measure were adopted, the waste lands, now lying idle, Avould soon be occupied by thrifty European settlers. The opening up of lands for settlement is of vital importance to Auckland, and should be urged on the Government by every legitimate means. I hope the time is not far distant when the Queen's Writ will run through the length and breadth of the land. There should be one law for all Her Majesty's subjects, which every one, European or Native, should be compelled to obey. I have no desire to see Provincial Institutions re-instituted on tli'dr former basis, but will not rest satisfied until a better substitute is obtained tnan tho present Counties Act, and I will sup port Sir George Grey in his patriotic endeavours to obtain justice for th« Province of Auckland, and the right of the people to real self-govern ment. The Road Boards have proved most useful institutions, and might have extended powers given them with advantage. I desire to see the Colony united, with one purse, and one land fund; otherwise I would 1 use every exertion to obtain Insular Separation, on equitable terms. I think advantage ought to be taken of the present state of the money market in England to dispose of our Railways to Companies who would not only extend them, but work them satisfactorily to the public. The proceeds of such sales would be available for other public works, ar.u reduce the liability and heavy taxa tion of the country. If you return me as your Representative I Avill do all in my power to get tho Auckland members to work together.knov. ing from long experience, the desirability of united action. I can give no further pledge that I Avill do my utmost to forward your interests, which are identical with my own, in the Avelfare and advancement of the Colony. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your moat obedient servant, ROBERT GRAHAM. rjn.HE -ONCORE r<OF_EE Prepared by CLOSE BROS. mHE I^NCORE poFFEE Is Packed in One, Two, Four, Six, & Twelve Pound Canisters. rpHE "TCINCORE Is Prepared FROM THE REST PLANTATION BERRY, Fresh Roasted and Ground.
