GENTLEMEN, —A.s happily the election contest will be concluded on Monday next, I may be permitted to remind you or the 'lfead:ing principles »vhich I have submitted for consideration throughout the dist-ict. My opponents, having no other ground of objection to my candidature, insist that my views are unformed, and lvxve been purposely unexplained. T refer them to my stat.eineut at Hamilton, published November 26. I then stated that. I was in favor of each island sethe sole control of its own affairs, while the existing Assembly should only be allowed to retain purely federal functions. I also stated that if returned I should give my strongest support to the Opposition party in defeating the Government, and iu establishing a system of government which would give local control to each island. Since Nov. 26 this simple political platform has teen fully advocated by Sir J. L. Richardson, Mr. Macandrew, Mr, Stout, Mr. Rolleston, and others. If my opinions are en! irelv unformed, I am in excellent compa.ny, and desire no oth-r. 'i V Otago can retain, her.own boundaries it she elects to do so, but. she lia3 no right to claim to dictate to her sisters what each for herself lias' the sole righttn determine '-upon." This' details of local government m each island should reit with the people of each island. As Of ago claims to be free to stand by her own Province endowed with absolute powers, so she must allow the remainder to be five. to ur>ite with one another or with Canterbury as they chose.

- I need not repeat my'em phatic statements made at every meeting as to the unfair tasa (ion to b.e, perpetuated, if the Grove.-nment adhere to their announced policy,under the specious; pretence of them selves to find a/subsidy, throiigh the Custom House. Neither need I particularise upon the legislative "chains forged list session to hamper, and in the end to entirely destrov, alluvial goiduiining. It will be my duty to endeavor to the utmost to place gold™iners in a position of independent equality in the State. . My views on Land Administration and Pastoral Tenure have been circula ed among you. My sole principles are First. A<° ministration of the existing land laws of to all alike, be they pastoral tenants or agricultural settlers. Second— Localisation of district land revenue for redemption of land under those acts for the people. I hope when in the Assembly to be able to lend a staunch and useful support to all members holding- liberal views, llie present oppressive custom duties levied upon industrv must be rcli ved, and pi-opcriy he made to bear a fair share of the burden which is kept u>> mainly for its own protection. During this canvass I have employed no agents ; I have organised 110 co>nmitt«»es ; I have molested no individual for his vote. At every meeting in the district I have been accorded a mos! hearty and unanimous vote of confidence and promise ofsUDport. A. support so eordial'y volunteered from every quarter will make me more diligent in the future to prove not. unworthy so high a mark of y<mr publio confident. 0. A. DE LAUTOUR.
