TO THE ELECTORS OF THB CITY % OF^JBLSON. GENTLEjfflil^When I lauded in Nelson this morpffig I fully purposed holding a publiuileeting to-night or to-morrow evening, bQfidr&m obliged to forego my intention, as I learn that carrying it into effect would necessitate my staying here for five or six days, thus being a week longer in attending iv my piece in the House. I have therefore determined to proceed by the Ladybird to Wellington, as I think I may be able to perform better service therefor the interests of Nelson, than by remaining here comparatively idle. I shall, I need hardly say, give my earnest attention to Nelson interests, as I bf lieve that Ne'aon, like some other provinces, merits special consideration at tho hands of the Government. The lands of the Southern provinces aie producing vast revenues, which are being locally expended, and yet these very same provinces are about to ask for special provincial loans Ths railway and public works policy, t igether with the* immigration return, has tended greatly to enhance the land in different provinces. It has enajilftf Canterbury, for exuuple, to sell larg^mock8 x cf land at a high price, snd honee h/ttcoffera are full. This is due to the expenditure of the colonial loan for which the wJfole coiony ia responsible. In my opinion Jris not just to the less fortunate parta of Jbe colony that they should receive nothing, while those which are rolling in richesfobtain the lion's share of the advantages anu other provinces are left comparatively n/cared for, if not wholly neglected. On taese grounds alone, it Is but just that Nelson should apply for colomii astutqnee ; andr on these grounds I shall support a loan /or Public Works for Nelson, and a'so ufge'on the Government the propriety of extending the Foxhill railway snch additional distance as. shall be necessary to reach the seafca^ff coal found in the Hope district by Mr JsScffibri^, t \ I shall say no more now, but after the close of the session sha& take -«n. opportunity of addressing you in J»son. Offering my earnest thanks for the confidence you have hefetofore reposed in me in the past — a confidence I trust I shall do nothing to forego. • lam, Yours faithfully, D. M. LCCKIE.
