TO THE ELECTORS MANAWATU ELECTORATE. I beg to thank you very sincerely for the splendid majority which you accorded to me at the polling on Tuesday last, and I trust that you will again express your confidence at the Poll to be taken in accordance with the Second Ballot Act, next Tuesday, 24th inst. I am, Yours respectfully, EDWARD NEWMAN. TO THE ELECTORS OF MANAWATU. Ladies and Gentlemen, — The first contest for the Manawatu seat has been decided, and now, on the eve of the second fight, I should like to address a few words to you. To those of you who gave me your support on Tuesday last and placed me in the proud position of HEAD OF THE POLL. I return my sincere and heartfelt thanks. Such a majority as you then gave me is the most convincing proof one could have of the decision of the people that A CHANGE IN THE AD3IINISTHATTON of our country is necessary. The issue is straight out: it is not a question of man against man, but PARTY AGAINST PARTY. Beyond everything else it is a ques" tion of FREEHOLD VERSUS LEASEHOLD. The country has shown unmistakably that the Government’s laud policy is bad. What more striking condemnation could we ask for than the defeat by nearly 1000 votes of the Hon Mr McNab, Minister for Lands and author oi the Land Bill. The farmers of Taranaki, that great dairying land, have expressed their opinion of THE DAIRY REGULATIONS by an almost complete VICTORY FOR THE OPPOSITION between New Plymouth aud Wanganui. lu the Oroua, Mr Guthrie, the Opposition candidate, had AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY. It now only remains for you, ELECTORS OP MANAWATU, to place me in a similar position to Mr Guthrie. The Opposition have obtained a tremendous moral, as well as numerical victory. With such a POWERFUL PARTY in the House the Premier’s wings will be clipped, and his unbounded power broken. I have pledged myself to give my utmost support to both Foxton Harbour and the Martou-Levin railway, aud speedy settlement of Native aud Crown Lands, and the GOVERN3IBNT WILL BE CO3L FELLED to give you justice on these questions. I would urge that you do not let any consideration keep you away from the polling booth on Tuesday next. If you have the good of your country at heart and desire to see pure administration ; if you wish to see continued prosperity ; if you want the confidence of the English investors restored ; if you consider you have proper treatment of the dairy industry, which is at present the backbone of the country ; if, above all things, you demand the freehold—then, I urge you, vote on Tuesday next, aud give me a greater expression of confidence even than you did last Tuesday, aud you have added one more to the EVER-GROWING RANKS OF THE OPPOSITION, the party that makes for TRUE PROGRESS AND GREATER PROSPERITY. With sincere thanks for las'Tuesday’s support, and hopefu 1 anticipation of even greater support in the second contest, I remain, Yours faithfully, E. NEWMAN.
