centres, and explaining my political views m detail. In the meantime, I may state that I am more hi accord with the policy of the Atkinson Ministry than with that of any of the numerous Jeaders of the other fide of the present House. Though that Ministry has no doubt made mistakes. I believe the leading members of it have on the whole worked honestly according to their lights for the 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 roads and bridges, the partial failure of which through want of funds is attributed to causes beyond the control of any Government. I cannot, however, agree with Mr Rollestoh's projected scheme of perpetual leasing, or with what it is now the fashion to call "the nationalization of the land." Let the Crown lands be leased on the easiest terms compatible with ; due provision for survey and roadmaking, but, as under thepiesent Act, let a purchasing clausealways be granted after a fair proportion of improvement has been made , by f the leaseholder. The truest nationalization of the land, I hold, is to settle it with freeholders m moderately-sized blocks,' trusting for revenue to the development , of the resources ,0/ .'the country caused by such settlement, rather than to rents extracted by a Central Government from a State • tenantry, 1 agree generally with the Native ; policy of the Atkinson Ministry, and i especially so with Mr Bryce's proposal ,; for the resumption of the preemptive right, : lam m favour of Secular \Euuca- ; tiorii and so long as the pnaiices of ; the Colony ; warrant ii, pf/reepnm(iry education, and m, any case of free education up to the Fourth Standard.

Other and minor questions I will deal with when addressing the elector* face to face. ! : If I have tlie honor to, be elected, I. can conscientiously say that 1 will j endeavour to the best of my, ability to represent the district i as a whole without bias m favour of any par ticu- ; lar part of it, while remembering at the same time that a member is elected to watch over the interests of the ; Colony at, large. ■....
