Electoral Notices legislative Council elective. I would support a liberal system of Education. I would at all times be ready to advocate any local wants the constituency may require Parliament to consider, and would support all liberal measures for the benefit of the colony generally. To the Early Settlers and their families I will explain that the petition presented by their true friend Sir George Grey, K.C.8., was ivorably received by the Public Petitions committee, and the services of the pioneers so far recognised by Parliament; and I have the further assurance of Sir George Grey and other influential representatives that in the early part of nextjsession the claims of the pioneer , settlers shall again be placed before Parliament, and justice done. I will take opportunities of explaining more fully my views upon the various subjects that will engage the attention of the new Parliament. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. H. WALLACE. Wellington, 25th November, 1875. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WEL- _ LINGTON COUNTRY DISTICT. Gentlemen, — I beg to offer myself to represent you again in the House of Repreentatives. Questions of vital importance to the future welfare of the colony must be discussed and determined in the ensuing Parliament, particularly with reference to the administration of local affairs, the financial position of the colony, and taxation. I will take an early opportunity of meeting and explaining fully to you my views on these and other subjects. In the meantime, allow me to remain, Gentlemen, Your very faithful servant, A. de B. BRANDON. Wellington, December 2, 1875. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAIRARAPA. Gentlemen, —Having had the honor to represent you for the last eleven years in the Parliament of New Zealand, I again place my services at your disposal should you think fit to re-elect me, While not thinking it necessary within the limits of an address to express my views upon all the important questions to be discussed during the next session of the General Assembly, yet I think it right to state my opinion upon the proposed constitutional changes now before the country. In reality, alterations in the forms of Government are not of such great importance as many people imagine. The success of all Governments entirely depend upongood administration, and without this no form of Government can be of advantage to the people; therefore, as in the late session the abolition of the Provincial form of Government was decided by a largemajority, and as the electors generally seem to approve of such decision, I shall be prepared if reelected to give my assistance in framing such measures as will give to the people the best form of Local Self-Government, with large powers and means to carry on the important duties which will then devolve upon them, but in order to furnish such means the manner of raising our revenue will have to be considerably altered, and property will have to contribute its fair share towards the taxation of the country, whilst the necessaries of life must be relieved from the high Customs duties now charged upon them. I also inform you that I will be no party to any scheme which might tend to bring about the disunion of the colony. As soon as the writs are issued, I shall hold meetings in the several centres of population, when I shall be prepared to express my opinions upon the various matters which will have to be dealt with by the Parliament about to be elected. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HENRY BUNNY. Fernside, Wairarapa, November 30, 1875. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, —At the urgent request of a number of your body I have consented to my nomination as a candidate for the Mayoralty of the City. The limits of an ordinary advertisement preclude such an exposition of my views on municipal questions as it is proper should be submitted to you. I shall not, therefore, attempt any statement here, preferring to address you in public meeting if you will favor me with your attendance in the several wards, where a free exchange of sentiments can be gone into. The dates of holding these meetings will be duly announced as soon as I shall be able to arrange them. Meantime, I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM HUTCHISON. p IT Y CO U NCI. ELECTION OF MAYOR.
