Snelson, E.sq., and the elec-—--Hiors- signing the ahove requisiu tion. i- , .Gentlemen, In response 'to your v very flattering and gratifying request ;, £ have gzeoA pleasure in? consenting r to be nominated^as -a "candidate '"for [• M an ? lwa^ u at; the coming election. • . f I shall take an: early opportunity of addressing, the eieotors at the various centres, and explaining my political views in detail. ; fc —in the* meantime I may state that I q : am more in aoqord with the policy of q : the AtkinsdnTVlinistry than with that „ of any of the numerous leaders on the -■■ other side of the present House. Though' that Ministry hae no doubt ,x made mistakes I believe the leading members— of it have on the whole worked honestly, .according to their ■■- lights, ;for ihe good of the colony at large, and that especially they have tried to promote, the prosperity of the country districts by liberalising the ■ land- laws', and by their scheme for the construction of.ro.adp/ 'and bridges, 4he' partial' failure of 'which through want of funds.^attributable to causes 11 beyond' the control of any Government. , 1 cannot, however, agree with Mr Rolleston's projscte<l soheme of perpetual ..leasing, or with \phat it is now the fashion to call the nationalisation of the land. Let the Crown lands be leased oh the' easiest terms compatible ; with . due provision for survey and road, making, but as under the-present Act let a purchasing clause always be 'granted after a fair proportion of improvement has been niade. The truest nationalization of the land, I' hold, is "to settle it with freeholders in moderate sized blocks, trusting for revenue to the development of the resources of the country caused , by such, ..settlement; ., rather . th^^o rents exifacted. by a Qoverftment Jrom. .a State tenantry. 1 I agree generally with the hastive policy! of the Atkinson Ministry, and . ' especially so wltli Mr Bryce*6 "'p'rdposal far the resumption of 'the pre- .;. eniptiye' right. ■' vv ; ' , • I am in favour of sefeular e'ducatibn; and as lohg : as the. .finances of the ,co.l<jjn» tion, ma many case of free, education .up to the , fourth standard. „ . „ . lo should l(ke! to see our- railways z managed by^no^n-poh'tical ßoardV^he inenibers" of ijrbich should ;^ ; .removable in; the same nMn^jE ■'<■ fudges of the > Supreme 'G6xat'..' r L ,~^.> Other and^minor, questions ;i I; will .
