Election Addresses, TO THE ELECTORS OF THE i 4 BOROUGH OF NAPIER. r ——— GENTLEMEN'— Statements having been made to me that uncertainty exists whether in the coming contest for your representation in tbe General ' Assembly I .hall really appear as a Candidate for your suffrages, I take this early opportunity of removing doubt on the point by plainly saying it * is my intention onci again to seek your votes, with 5 political views that have undergone no material change since I last solicited your confidence. Recent 1 political events must, 1~ think, have served to point i unmistakably to the necessity In this community of some base for united and concerted action being taken by it 3 members on leading- questions. That necessity is one that I hold to be of piimary importi ance—let the shade of individual opinions differ as it may on minor matters. Your very obedient servant, JOHN BUCHANAN. 3 TO THE ELECTORS OF NAPIER. S~i ENTLEMEN—I have the honor to inform you that I intend to seek your suffrages at the coming election, I will address a public meeting Bhortly, and lay before you my reasons for coming forward. In the meanwhile I ask the electors to suspend their judgment. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Tour Obedient Servant, JOHN W. McDOUGALL. TO THE ELECTORS OF NAPIER, GENTLEMEN,— An opportunity is now at hand when something must be done to secure the stability and increase the prosperity of Napier, and as at a meeting of the Harbor Board the casting vote of the gentleman who has already solicited your support prevented the Engineer for the Oamaru Breakwater being sent for to report on the feasibility of constructing a Breakwater at the Bluff, 1 am impressed with the conviction that the wellfare of Napier would not be promoted by his election 'to Parliament, and therefore, as a resident of the town, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages. I advocate a property and income tax, and also a graduated tax on land not only for revenue pur. poses, but also to promote the settlement of the people and the extension of agriculture. After mature uonsideration I regret that I can see no basis for united action with Mr Ormond. except by the continued sacrifice of the interests of Napier. Should you do me the honor of electing me, I shall endeavor to obtain an endowment for tho Napier Breakwater, and thus prevent a repetition of that Kidnapoer scare by which your interests were So seriously imperilled. I have tho honor to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JUSTIN M-SWEENEY. TO THE ELECTORS OF HAWKE'S BAY.
