Electoral, mo THE ELECTORS OF FRANKLIN. Gentlemen, —The many promises of support made by the elector* in various parts of your large distriat has induced me to offer myself as a candidate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Lusk as your representative in the Parliament of New Zealand. Questions of vital importance to you will occupy the attention of our legislators at its next session. I will, if elected, give Sir George Grey's Ministry my cordial support, and co operate in bringing:. about tbe many reforms promised, and which are so urgen ly'required. I am in favour of abolishing " The Counties Act."- and all toll-bars, and placing tbe main roads in charge of the various district I toad Boards. These institutions have done their work well, and ought to bo fostered and encouraged. I fail to see the necessity of a local taxing machine like "i be Counties Act," with its official and billet-creating power, just to keep a few miles of road 3in repai)-, while the principal part are maintained by the ratepayers and are free for anyone to travel on. If tbe people are alive to their own interest they will see that no Government who -prides itself on giving the people local self-government daie force.such an obnoxious Act upon the rate payers of a free country. Tho "Representation Act" requires con siderable a'teration, and 1 quite endorso tho principle of manhood-suflVasre, pure and simple; :that the'people who -ptiy the taxes"ohbuld have a voice in the government of the courtry by a vote at the elections. I think the man who only owns a carpet-bag, and who contributes' his share, to ;the revenue, may be quite "as capable of forming a correct opinion of what is right and fair as any other man. ! Another question closely affecting the interest of the people is the Licensing Law. Thia has long been and still is a-very difficult, problem to solve. There' is scarcely a session in which attempts are Bdt'made to amend or alter this law, but the difficulty of deoliug with the trade •remains still unsettled. Tiro principlcof the Permissive Bill has. been, endorsed by succes sive Governments ;: b;it'the machinery for carrying it out has been made unworkable ; the districts are much too large for any practicable', good. I should 'he in favour ox making them the same as rhe- Road Districts, and give .the people immediately • intere'.rtcd the right to control tho licensing question, as they Ought to bo the best iudges of their own requirements. I am in favour of reducing the duti. s on,the necessaries of life, and of making property and fucome bear a fair-share of th? burdens.which at present press very unequally on the labourer and wealth-producer ot the country. While holding these views, I'am'prepared to sink personal considerations for the public good, and to unite with the maiority of the Auckland members on all questions affecting the interest of this Island and the Colony generally. I have only to add that I have no ends to gain except your confidence, and have no party to serve except the public. It is not my intention. to canvass the district for votes, but I shall be glad to meet the electors and explain my views more fully. .. Should you do me the honour of electing- me as your representative, I -hall to the utmost of my power endeavour to merit the confidence reposed in me by studying the wants of your very important district. I flatter myself that you cannot find one possessing such a ! varied experience of colonial life, and who knowt the wants of your district, and with interests more identical with your own, or will serve you more faithfully and honestly than myself. lam, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN JENKIfTS. Newmarket, April 29,1878. O THE ELECTORS OF THE . ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF : '• ■- - ; j -FRANKLYN. Gentlemen.—As there is a vacancy, in the* House of Representatives caused' by. the resignation of Mr Lusk; one' of our members, and as numerous enquiries have been made of me as to whether I would allow myself to be nominated for the vacant seat, I beg now to inform you'that after giving the matter my serious consideration, I have resolved to place my services atyour disposal. I am in some degree alive to the sacrifices I shall have to make if you choose to return me as your representative, but this I shall not regret, if I can succeed in giving you satisfac tion by an honest endeavour to discharge the duties devolving upon inc. . As a native of the Colony. I feel sure that you will believe me when I tell you that I take the deepest interest in its well-being, and further that I am not likely to forget the interests of the Province of Auckland, and the electoral district of Franklyn, where I reside. Should I have the honour of being returned, it will be my earnest desire to support those measures which in my opinion will be best calculated to promote the interests of this, our rising and growing country.
