GENTLEMEN, —In offering myself for re-election, I beg to lay before you the following statement: — I am favorable to evory permanent colonist in New Zealand having a vote, whether by residential qualification or otherwise, and I have shown this by supporting the Electoral Bill of last year, which was abandoned by the present Ministry after it had been passed in the shape in which they proposed it. Nothing will induce me to support what is Vote." which the Ministry wish to give to the Maoris. I am a supporter of free, compulsory, and undenominational Education. I was the first Candidate who advoeated Triennial Parliaments at the last General Election, and have always voted for it since. I have for a number <£ year s supjortod the sale of Crown Lands on deferred payments, as tending to assist the settler of tmall means. I am favorable to regular and sufficient provision being made for Hospitals and Charitable Institutions and purposes, and am consequently opposed to the viewa ' of both the late and present Governments, who have proposed to rely largely on voluntary contributions for those objects. Whatever further revenue may be required to support the public expenditure should, in my opinion, be raised by a general property tax, as advocated by me at the last general election, to be imposed upon a strictly equitable principle. I shall take early opportunities of addressing you, when I shall be glad to answer questions you may wish to put to me on anv other subjects of public interest. 199 E. C. J. STEVENS.
