Electoral Notices TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITX OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN,—As Mr. Pearce has definitely expressed his intention to resiga ini seat for this city, I now address you as a csa.~ didate for election. My views on matters more immediaJasx affecting the colony are as follows : I am not an opponent of the preaen 1 Gov mcct, and should willingly assist them in parsing any measures tending to good and ecouiß, mical administration. I believe that many of the errors whkst, occurred in the legislation of last session wascaused by the embarrassment to which lha Government were subjected by members s£ v party with whose views and proceedings I Lavano sympathy. I should utterly oppose any attempt toiSs. member the colony, the unity of which is, in.nr* opinion, essential to its permanent welfare. I am prepared to support the extension cir the Public Works scheme so far as may be requisite for bringing productive outlying districts into easy communication with the centrfjr of population, this being, as I conceive, tbehest means of promoting the progress of ths colony. The laws of the colony admittedly require revision and simplification, and I should step* port any measure for giving effect to this object. I think the Civil Service Regulations amendment. The temptation which lavst 1 exists to exercise patronage for party ends [ ought to be removed. Indeed, Governiasak itself should be protected against the imper* tuuities of those who urge the exercise cS patronage as a reward for political services. With regard to the interests of this city mj views are as follows : Whilst its position and its noble haibcg' must necessarily secure for it a considerable measure of prosperity, that prosperity wtxtSibe very largely increased were the construct its.of the railways intended to connect it wi-tL the country districts pushed on and completed with rapidity. I believe the resources of this provincial district would amply warrant th*. expenditure necessary for that purpose, and 3 should unhesitatingly urge it upon the Goveat* meet. There are many matters connected with municipal interests of the city which could bgf usefully brought under the consideration of Ha Assembly, and I should be happy to give tbaat my best attention. In all matters in which the interests of thicity are concerned I should be willing to mieaifc you during the sessions, in order to hear yesa views in public meeting; but I should dscßss to occupy the position of a mere delegate. If, holding these views, I can be uf servaefc to you, I shall be happy to occupy the positkas; of one of your representatives in the Assembly,. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WM. THOS. LOCKE TRAVERS, March 3, 1877. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITS' OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN.—In offering myself aa & candidate for the vacancy in the representation of the city, I do so in the conviction teak my political opinions are very much in vmfac®. with thc.se of a majority of the electoral body. I am very strongly in favor of a .yigorcca prosecution of the Public Works policy, in. sa far as the completion of unfinished lines d: useful railway and other reproductive under* takings is concerned. I regard it as 3, public loss that railway lines, such as from Wellington to Masterton, should aofc have been pushed on more expeditiously in the past. The group of Local Government Acts whis®. became law in 1876 are essentially » und In principle. They preserve the true tradition, cf British liberty ; but having been fact!onsly opposed in their progress, and ultimately passed in haste, the Acts themselves requirft. amendeut in detail Their consideration r.-ss'i improvement should form an important iteot of parliamentary business next sessionTo derive the full benefit which an extern «ioa of Public Works and the institution m Local Government is capable of oonfenkaj upon the country, our laud laws require furtbta revision, so that settlement by an industries population may easily be effected withissk burdensome conditions. A general system of free primary, edueatina, whereby the children of the colony can hi taught useful knowledge, without reference tsreligious dogma, ought to be one of the earnestmeasures brought before Parliament, a meaadrs I should have much satisfaction in supporting. I am an earnest advocate of economy ks&. retrenchment in Government expenditure-, wherever these can be applied without'detriment to the public service. Knowing that the’ members of the Government are administering the affairs of &*. country satisfactorily ; believing, moreovatj that they are fully aware of the requixemeate of the colony, and will be prepared at thaproper time, to submit to the Legislature sacb. measures as may be necessary to meet tiL«a--requirements,—l have no hesitation iu statSar that the present Government should have 22jfirm support. It seems almost unnecessary for me to ac& that any proposals likely -to militate against: the permanent establishment of the city c,f Wellington as the seat of Government for *, united colony, would eneounter mj zasxA strenuous opposition; while everything tending; to advance its interests might reckon, wSut. equal certainty, on my hearty support. Abul. I can see no reason to anticipate the loaefe likelihood of divided counsels amongst those who are actuated by similar views on tiras* points. Respectfully soliciting your suffrages, .- I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM HUTCHISONMarch 5.
