JACKSON. Onohunga, mo THE ELECxOBS OF MANUKAU. Qentlbmkn,—Tho result of the nomination for the honour of representing your district in the General Assembly of New Zealand involves aoontest, Asa candidate for that honour I wish to state, amonftat other reasons, why I hava neither canvassed you personally nor at publio meetings A house to house oanvass over such a largo dis trict as yours was to mo impossible, and I did not think it right that I should attempt to bias the electors in tho choice of their representative by the decision of public meetings, believing v I do that the private Judgment of the individual eleotor should be the test of a candidate's fitness for the position he aspires to. The Town of Onehunga, whioh now forma i portion of the newly-created District of Mann kau, has honoured mo with its unbroken con fidence for tho last 21 years. I believe there is nothing antagonistic between the Interests of OnehonKa, Panmure. Remuera, Epsom, One tree Hill, and Mount Roskill, and I have conse quently felt emboldened to offer to represent the enlarged District of Manukan. It has been my misfortune during my political career to see Auckland shorn of lta glories. No one can Bay that I, by act or word, ever wavered in my devotion to my constituency or province. ICanyone thinta I have been unfaithful to my constituency, or to the province of Auckland, let him vote against me. I never despaired of Auckland retrieving its position. The enterprise of its settlers has done it, and the wheel coming round, I now begin to see around me signs of a new era of prosperity dawning upon thin portion of the colony, and let it not be oonaldered any unworthy ambition of mine to desiro to have a voice in directing the advancement of this province. There are many fields open for the develop ment of its resources and Interests which I shal 1 not particularise Outside of my duty as member for my dls wiotj have never shrank from endeavouring to do my duty, without fear or favour, in the pubiio body—whether Provincial Council or House of Bepreientativea-of whlohlwasa member, to all the districts of the province. In both these bodies I have had positions of honour and responsibility conferred upon me unsolicited, and In (hue positions I have had but one dosir o.to do my duty fearlessly and faith fully in tho enforcement of that order whioh I jolt Was due to the representatives of the people of New Zealand and to tho protection of the Parliamentary liberties of Her Majesty's cub jects in this colony. I It rests with yon now to^xpress approval or disapproval of my conduct in my publio oapaolOes. Leaving now tbe issue in your hands, I await my acceptance or rejection as your representa tive, at the poll on Friday nest, ' As your obedient servant, G. MAURICE O'RORKB.
