TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. fl. ENTLEMEN —Statements having been made to me that uncertainty exists whether in the comiDg contest for your representation In the General Assembly I shall really appear as a Candidate for i your suffrages, I take this early opportunity of rem viug doubt on the point by plainly saying it is intention one i again to seek your votes, with political views that have undergone no materiel ch»nge 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 matters.

I hold strong views on many questions of moment, bearing directly upon our rights and privileges as free men, living under a tree cons itution. I—l am a supporter of the present Ministry, 2—l »m opposed to the disintegration of the Colony ' as at present constituted. 3—l disapurove of such a retrogade step from assured progress as a rivision to effete Provincialism. 4—l advocate a curtailment of the extravagant expenditure under the prese t t'ounty and Road Board system, substituting one uniform valuation, one rate, and one co-operative system of departmental a. ministration. 5— I f*vor amendment of the Property Tax, or substitution of a more equitable aud lees inquisitorial ruia ure. 8 lam a supporter of Free Trade, and promotion of local manufacturing industries i,y liberal bonuses on value ( f products. 7—l strongly advocate a better administration and more rapid settlement of our Waste Lands, by selection at nominal rates, free grants, and monetary assistance to farmers. B—l disapprove of reckless alienation of the public estates to absentees and large capitalists. 9—l jropose equal ratiug of lands, including Government and .Native. 10—Tri«l*ws relating to Native land tenuie should be simplified ; all local and unnecessary Acts aboli died ; «iving extended powers uuder the existing Native Land Act of 1880; a system of local registration introduced, and a regular circuit of the Courts established. 11-A modification of our present expensive system of primary education is necessary. 12-Districts geographically debarred from the benefits of Railway extension should in fair proportion be agisted in tho construction of other pnolic works of utility, such as Harbors, Roads, Bridges, etc. 13—1 should urge a remodelling of the Civil Service, by placing it on a non-political and bona fide guarantee basis. The foregoing is a brief outline of genoral policy. I shall, however, upon the public platform, more fully dilate upon theso and tho various local subjects touching the welfare of the whole electorate.
