Austin & Co., Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, Wyndham street, Auckland, The Business, which is one of the largest in Now Zealand, has been successfully carried on for three years, and the Provisional Direotors have satisfied themselves it is a very-profitable one (the Balanco-Bheots have been duly certified by Mr John Milne, Pnblio Accountant), and that, with increased capital, It may be considor hly developed. The Stock has been carefully taken at low rates, and the Machinery and Plant valued by an expert, at whose valuation it will be trans ferred to the Company. The Maohinery Is all of modern construction and in good working order, and the Company will at once step into a pros perous trade witbont having to erect Buildings and purchase Machinery. The Vendors will continue their interest in the concern by taking a larße portion of the pur ohaae money in Shares in ttte Company. Mr John Gittoß is willing to take a seat on the Board of Direotlon, and the secvioeffof Mr J. J. Austin. who has conducted the Business hitherto, are secured as Manager for a term. It 18 proposed to retain 1,000 Shares to be alloted to the Employees of the Company, thus giving those who work for the Company a direot interest in their own labours. As soon as a sufficient amount of Capital is subscribed, a Meeting of the Shareholders will be held to form the Company and elect Directors. Applications for Shares may be made to mem bers of tne Brokers' Association, or to Mr Thos. Hodgson, Secretary, at the Office of the Com pany; and further information may bo had from any of the Provisional Directors. The Share List will cloae on FRIDAY, the 16th day of December. 1881. when the allotment •will be made.

Asa candidate for that honour I wish to state, amongst other reasons,. why I have neither canvassed you personally nor at public meetings. A house to house canvass over suoh a large dia" trict as yours was to me 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 as I do that the private judgment of the individual elector should be the test of a candidate's fltnoss for tho position he aspires to. The Town of Onehunga. whloh now forms portion of the newly-created District of Manu kau, has honoured me with its unbroken con fidence for the last 21 years. I believe there is nothing antagonistic between the Interests of Onehunga, Panmure, Remuera, Epsom, One tree Hill, and Mount Roskill, and I have oonse! quontly felt emboldened to offer to represent the enlarged District of Manukau. It has been my misfortune during my political oareer to see Auckland shorn of its glories. No one can say that 1, by act or word, ever wavered in my devotion to my constituency or province. If anyone thinks 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 lta settlers has dono it, nnd the wheel coming round, I now begin to see around me signs of a new era of prosperity dawning* upon this portion of the colony, and let it not be considered auy unworthy ambition of mine to desire 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 whloh I shall not particularise. Outside of my duty as member for my dis. trlct.l have never shrunk from endeavouring to do my duty, without fear or favour, in the public body—whether Provincial Counoll or House of Representatives -of which I wta a 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 these positions I have had but one desire.todomy duty fearlessly and faith fully In the enforcement of that order which I felt was due to tho representatives of the people New Zealand and to tho protection of the Parliamentary liberties of Her Majesty's sub eots in this colony. It rests with you now to express approval or disapproval of my oonduot in my publio capacities. Leaving now the issue in your hands, I await my acceptance or refection as your representa tive, at the poll on Friday nest, Ab your obedient servant, G. MAURICE CHOREE. Onohungs, December 3,1881 : mO THE ELECTORS OF WAIPA. Gentlemen,— I have the honour to Inform you that I shall be a Candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming general election. I shall take an early opportunity of meeting you at the various centres, when I shall give you an outline of the past, and state to you my views of the future. FKED. A..WHITAKKR.
