Should you accede to our request, we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to secure your return. W. 0, WALKER, DONALD WILLIAMSON, and Seventy-five others. TO THE ELECTORS ' OF THE ASHBURTON DISTRICT. Gentlemen, —In reply to your requisition, I have pleasure in placing my services at your disposal. My inducement to re-enter Parliament is the hope to be useful. New Zealand should be now enjoying exceptional prosperity ; causes which, I think, are removeable produce the depression which is driving away capital, paralysing enterprise, and reducing the power to employ labor and encourage industry. I hope to be able to aid in removing the causes, as also to assist in consolidating a strong party. At present public men appear to bo separated, not so much by practical as by theoretical questions. The aspiration to be of service alone tempts me in my present impaired state of health (the result of a alow recovery from a severe illness), to accept the responsibilities you offer me j On account of my invalid condition, I must ask yon to excuse ray addressing more than one meeting. Pray believe I am not insensible to the importance of all parts of the district and to the claims of the electors where ever they reside. I am simply unfit for the exertior now, though after the session I hope to h s able to do much more. Yonr obedient servant, 6 1092 JULIUS VOGEL.
