I Electoral Notices nnO THE ELECTORS !OE THE CITY JL OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen,—l have the honor to inform you that it is my intention to offer myself for re-election as one of your Representatives in the General Assembly. My views on the more important questions of the day are known to most of yon. I shall, however, ask you to give me an opportunity of addressing you before the day of nomination. In the meantime, it may be sufficient for me to say, that I thoroughly approve, of the abolition of the Provincial form of Government, and that I am of opinion there should be but one Parliament, and-one system of legislation for the whole Colony. . . _ I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yonr obedient servant, EDWARD PEAFvCE. Wellington, Nov. 21, 1875. 0 THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen',—l beg respectfully to inform you that it 13 my intention to offer myself as a candidate for the honor of representing the City of Wellington in the House of Representatives. n the year IS7I you were good enough to elect me as one o£ your members, and I have occupied that proud position for a period of five years; you have therefore had abundant opportunity of judging whether I merit a renewal of your confidence. I need scarcely remind you that in the session of 1874 I voted against the Resolution introduced by the Government, affirming the desirability of abolishing the Provinces in the North Island, and that during the past session I opposed the Bill brought in for abolishing Provincial Institutions in both Islands. Knowing this, you will naturally expect me to indicate the course I shall pursue in the event of being returned as one of your Representatives. I have given the subject my careful con-; sideration, and feel convinced that it would be useless attempting to re-establish the old' form of Provincial Government, and I am also aware that a large number of the electors in this city: are of opinion.that it would.not be expedient.; They believe that a better system of local: self-government can be conferred on the in-: habitants of towns,. suburban districts, and: outlying settlements. I shall therefore, if! elected, deem it my duty to endeavor to givej effect to thV wishes of my constituents, and assist, to .the. best of my ability, in passing laws which, .will'carry out to the fullest extent " principle of local self-government. folding these ■. views, it is hardly necessary to assure you that I will strenuously resist all attempts that may be 1 made to disunite the Colony, or to divide it into four Provinces, and cannot help expressing my surprise and Tegret "that such ideas should have been put forward by. men who claim to ,be regarded as sincere Provincialists. • I was elected as a supporter of the present Government, and except on the single question of abolishing the provinces, have always been one of their adherents. I have faith in the Public, Works scheme, because carrying it out involves' the construction of railroads, making: ordinary roads and opening up the country for settlement and occupation. And I believe that by, maintaining peace between the two: races inhabiting New Zealand, the progress and advancement of the' Colony will be best! promoted. When the writs are issued it will afford me great pleasure to come before you, and express' at greater length my views on the various subjects-which will engage the attention of the new Parliament, and at the same time., ish me to answer _ in Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, , GEORGE HUNTER. ■'"'- " iber24,1875.
