TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIKOUAITI, RESIDING IN DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN,— I beg most respectfully to request that you will do me the honor me on Tuesday evening, 7th December, 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 aay. The time is indeed a critical one for us all. I entirely deny that we must choose between Separati n or Federalism on the one hand, a%d Centralism on the other. I belong to that party of politicians who are Abolitionists and net Central acs—who mean by Abolition not ten-ra.l vul**, but local management —who object to the disintegration of t.,e exi ting Provincial divisions —who want to keep what is left of our J and 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 expenditure and simplicity of administration ; and who, however well they know that the public finance is in a critical state, would yet far rathor 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'leturn to Provincialism as it was is impossible ; but I hold that no political danger looming ahead is at all equal to the sJjingcr 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 whh to speak with respect of any proposal for Otago that comes from Mr Macandrew ; but it is as certain now as it has always been that no Separation Bill nor Federal Bill will over be passed in both Houses of our Parliament as at present constituted; and that a Separation struggle can only play into the hands (f the few who would yield up North and 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 ? 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. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. I JOHN M'LAFEN, having consented to , stand at the forthcoming election as a Candidate, will take the opportunity of addressing yen on) Saturday afternoon, at 5.30., as I cannot get a hall large enough in town. I will expatiate largely on the swindles of Provincialism, not forgetting the actors in the drama.
