Election Addresseß. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE * BOROUGH OF NAPIER. fi ENTLEMEN—-Statements having been made to me that uncertainty exists whether in the coming ' contest for your representation in the General Assembly I shall 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 ones again to seek your votes, with political views that have undergone no material change since I last solicited your confidence. Recent political events must, I think, have served to point unmistakably to the necessity in this community of some base for united and concerted action being taken by its members on leading questions, That necessity is one that I hold to be of piimary importance—let the shade of individual opinions differ as it may on minor masters. Tour very obedient servant, JOHN BUCHANAN. TO THE ELECTORS OF NAPIER. 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 shortly, and lay before you my reasons for coming forward. In the meanwhile I ask tho electors to suspend their judgment. I have tho honor to be, Gentlemen, Tour Obedient Servant, JOHN W. McDOUGALL, GENTLEMEN.--pnrpose to Address you in the THEATRE ROTAL on the Evening of WEDNESDAY November 30th. 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 tor 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 purposes, but also to promote the settlement of the people and the extension of agriculture. After mature consideration 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 mc the houor of electing me, I Bhall endeavor to obtain an endowment for the Napier Breakwater, and thus prevent a repetition of that Kidnapner scare by which your interests were go seriously imperilled. I have the honor to be, gentlemen. Your obedient servant, JUSTIN M-SWEENET. HAWKE'S BAY DISTRICT.
