ELECTION NOTICE.; \ To thelslectors op THE ~! -AKAROA. ■ . /S ENTLEMEN,—As the present. \OT House of Representatives will shortly be dissolved, and \trits issued fori the election of memberg to serve in the Parliament, I have the honor to ask you to again return"tae' as your representative. _ . t t , I "hold precisely the same political opinions which I enunciated wheft I addressed the electors on' March' ,6 last, i namely— J The extension of the franchise- to in- < elude manhood suffrage' yri&t the resi-1 dence qualification." i Representation on the basis of population ; population to mean all natural born or naturalised subjects of Her Majesty, in all districts in which the Queen's writ can run. Triennial Parliaments, Unsectarian Education. * Property tax |n aid of indirect taxar tion, so that every nia_. shall contribute according to his means to the revenue required to meet the necessary expenses of, the Colony. Public Works' where "> necessary . toi establish communication between various parts of the Colony, and to develop its resources ; such works to be undertaken only after" careful survey, estimate of cost, and consideration of the financial condition of the Colony. ;.-u Economy in expenditure.—ln order that the business of the country may be properly conducted and oppressive taxation averted, I believe j-igid egonpmj*, must *be enforced in every department of the Government. lam firmly of opipipi} that a large saving may be made in the annual '■;■;' .77 Since I last addressed you the Native questipn.has assumed such prominence as to threaten the peace of the Colony. I consider the great mystery which has enshrouded Native affairs for so many years must be dispelled for ever ; that personal Government in Native matters must be abolished y that the Natives should be treated justly and 'kindly; but that, for the future, the supremacy of the law must be upheld, and promptly enforced. In conclusion, I beg to add that believing it is of the utmost importance that a House of Representatives should be elected at the earliest date possible under laws securing the extended suffrage of the people and a re-distribution of seats on an equitable basis, I shall, if I have the honor to be returned as your representative, assist to the best of my ability in passing the necessary measures during the ensuing session, so that a reformed Parliament may be called together early in July, 1880.
