3LS0TI0:; KOXIOE3. TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIKOUAITI, RESIDING. IN DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN, —I beg most respectfully to request that you will do me the honor I me on Tuesday evening, 7oh Loeember, at the Temperance Hall, when I propose to address you on public affairs. I ask your permission to include in this invitation all those who may wish to hear what I have to say. The time is indeed n critical ono I for us all. I entirely deny that we must choose j between Separation or Federalism on the one hand, and Centralism on the other. I belong to that party of politicians who are Abolitionists and not Centralists—who mean by Abolition not central rule, but local management—who object to the disintegration of the , existing Provincial divisions—who want to keep what is left of our Land fund, and hold what we can of our immense contribution to the revenue—who think that the crying want of the country is retrenchment in exvenditure ami simplicity of administration ; and who, however well they know that the public fin once is in a critical state, would yet far rather continue for another ten years the financial shifts and evasions of the past few sessions, than let the whole business of the country be ever carried up to Wellington. • A’letum to Provincialism as it was is impossible ; but I hold that ro political danger looming ahead is at all equal to the danger of trying to set up a new Provincial system in its place. The Centralists, pure and simple, will again hail a cry for Separation with delight, as they have ever done before. I wi«h to speak witn respect of any proposal for Otago that cornea from Mr Macandrew; but it is "as certain now as it has always been that no Separation Bill nor Federal Bill mil ever be passed in both Houses of our Parliament as at present constituted; and f hat a Separation struggle can only play into the Lands c f the few who would yield up North ami South alike to the rule of a Central Bureaucratic organisation, already too compact, too secret, and too powerful. Must this great Province be for ever torn by internal dissension 'i Is there no possible common ground on which we may at length cease to present the silly show of an eternally divided body, powerless before those who from other Provinces bring in every session a united phalanx on every question that touches their interests ? It is in the hope that one may be found, that I seek a place in the next Parliament.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, FRANCIS DILLON BELL PUBLIC! NOl'lO.'tv. ffIHE Right Way to Build Your Mouse ia JL to provide yourself with a plan and specification.
