TO THE ELECTORS OP CITY WEST. f3.ENTLE.MBN,— I beg to inform V-* you that lam a Candidate for your suffrages, and my principal reason for being so is owing to the action taken by the other five candidates in employing paid agents to secure signatures in order to have themselves alone—not only individually, but collectivelyreturned. Admit they are chosen by a majority of. five, who is to represent the minority unless the election is contested? Allow Provincial Institutions are on the decay (and I trust soon to be supplanted by Local Boards, having only a paid secretary and engineer). Grant this; but are the Electors of City West to give a block vote to those five on the ticket who do not deign to condescend to call a meeting and give expression to their views on the questions of the aaj'. Then, if so, I say if they vote for those men let every right, honest-minded man unite with me in saying perish at once Provincial Institutions. Electors of City West, no man has a right to seek your vote unless he gives you an honest expression of what he intends to advocate. Now, hear mine. Let us first unite in saving this country from being sunk deeper in debt. Let useless officials be shewn the door and earn their living as God and Nature intended— by the sweat of their brow. Next, let us advance and promote education by all means in our power ; and understand by this I mean a good, sound, national sytsem of Secular education, and in entertaining this view_ I may lose many a vote. But in giving my opinion thus I speak from known and practical experience. I received my elementary education in the National bchools of Ireland, established by the Earl of Derby, and my best and loving schoolmates were those of different creeds ; and now, in my mature years, I can honestly say that my best friends are also' those of different denominations. Say in a locality where 60 or SO scholars could be found professing five or six different creeds, it is plain they cannot have a school to suit each denomination, and I should think ltris equally as plain if they cannot have five or six schools that they must have one, and that it must be conducted on the Secular system ; if not, see the result. The master will have at certain hours to call up all Protestants ("Come to your lessons"), then all Catholics, next all Presbyterians, and so on to the last two scholars, who happen to be Jews. Enforce tins system, and you at once throw into that school the apple of discord, for each party will tell the other they nave no chance of going to Heaven and the end will be that they cannot be kept from fighting and killing one another. Now I think every man wLo intends to make this place his home should use every effort in his power to stamp and crush out every thing that would tend to creato religious strife and ill-feeling amid the rising generation of New Zealand. On the Permissive Bill question I may state briefly that I am not m favour of any well-conducted house being closed up, and thereby increase the trade of the adjoining hotel. I shall willingly aid and assist any movement that will have for its object the prevention of drink being landed on our shores. Let none be allowed to importit but chemists, and a heavy fineinfiicted if sold except on a doctor's prescription ; to effect a cure in any disease the root must be grappled with. Bring pressure to bear on the Government of the day to pass a BUI of this kind, and it will be no longer in their power to increase their own salaries. I have now honestly stated my views If they mtet with your approval elect me as your member. But if, on tho contrary, you reject m 6 for giving you the honest expression of my sentiments, in that case I shall consider it to be a greater honor to be at the bottom than at the top of the poll. There are no loaves and fishes attached to it. On that account I cannot afford to employ any paid agents ; nor yet on principle will I bad up any man for his vote ; and if returned I will giye the interests of the Province and City West District my fullest attention. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully W. KIBJBY. O~AVJNG- been requested by a J-L large and influential number of Electors for the district of Newton to represent their interests in interests in the next Session of the Provincial Council, I hereby announce myself as a Candidate for tho above District, and will take an early opportunity of meeting the Electors to explain my views.
