Ele toral Nctices TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITS' OF WELLINGTON. GENTL '-'MEN.—In offering myself as- » candidate for the vacancy in the representation of the citv, I do so in the conviction that my political opinions are very much in unison with those of a majority of the electoral body. I am very strongly in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the Public Works poliev, in so far as the completion of unfinished lines*of useful railway and other reproductive tmder-t-'kings is Concerned. I regard it as a public loss that rail way ' lines, such as, that from Wellington to Masterton, should not have been pushed on more expeditiously inthe past. The group of Local Government Acts whichbecame law in 1876 are essentially a und in principle. They presei ve the true tradition of British liberty ; but having been factiously opposed in their progress, and ultimatelypassed in haste, the Acts themselves require amendeut in detail. Their consideration and improvement should form an important item of parliamentary business next session. , To d-rive the full benefit which an extension of Public Works and the institution of Local Government is capable of conferring upon the country, our land laws require furtherrevision, so that settlement by an industrious population may easily be effected without burdensome conditions. A general system of free primary education, whereby the children of the colony can be taught useful knowledge, without reference to religious dogma, ought to he one of the earliest measures brought before Parliament, a measure I should have much satisfaction in supporting. I am an earnest advocate of economy and retrenchment in Gov-rumen t expenditure, wherever these can be applied without detriment to the public service. Knowing that the members of the Government are administering the affairs of the country satisfactorily ; believing, moreover, that they are fully aware of the requirements of the colony, and will be prepared at the proper time, to submit to the Legislature such measures as may be necessary to meet their requirements,—l have no hesitation in stating that the present Government should have my firm support. It seems almost unnecessary for me to add that any proposals likely to militate against the permanent establishment of the city of Wellington as the seat of Government for a united colony, would encounter my meet -treuuous opposite-u; while everything tending to advance its interests might reckon, .with cqu I certainty, on my hearty support. And I can see no reason to anticipate the least likelihood of divided counsels amongst those who are actuated by similar views on these points. .Respectfully soliciting your suffrages, I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WII.LIAM HUTCHISON.
