repeal of the rating clause us it at present stands. I I sincerely trust, however, chat the question of | education **-»iil be grappled with during the pro- ! sent session ox !lie General Assembly, and one • system adopted for the on;ire colony. As regards I Provincialism, I cannot fail to recognise the truly J lamentabic condition to which this province has been reduced, mainly, 1 am of opinion, through want of accord bet ween the Provincial Government and the .Ministry of the day. If elected, I shall have no desire to bolster up a possibly effete and expiring Systran, bur rattier to give my assistance in devising something better to take its place. I aiu of opinion that the Borough and County system —-that is, local self-government, with the control of eii local funds—would be found bencllr-ial ; provided always — and I trust I shall he hisUectlii under s <njd on this point —that the supreme control be left, as at present, entirely in the hands of the General Government of the I colony. In conclusion, Gentlemen, X beg to assure you that, if elected to represent you. I shall jealously watch the expenditure, and no exertions on my part shall bo wanting to obtain for tins district, its fair share of the public funds. I am, Gentlemen, Very faithfully yours, If. M.
