T T THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, —Mr. Travers having resigned his seat in Parliament as one of your members, I have the honor to offer myself as a candidate to fill the vacancy. If you think I can be of service to you, and see fit to re-elect .me to the position of one of your representatives, I shall as heretofore do my best to prove myself worthy of your confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, EDWARD PEARCE. Wellington, Jan. 25,1878. 0 THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, —I beg to announce that mj’ father is a candidate for your suffrages at forthcoming election of a member to represent this city in Parliament. My father’s political opinions are those of an advanced Liberal ; he has been for twentytwo years identified with Liberalism. Ho was one of the originators of the Melbourne Land League, and sat as member for the democratic constituency of North Melbourne up to the time of his leaving for New Zealand in 18fi2. His views are entirely in accord with those of the Liberal party in Parliament, and therefore, if elected, he will give his hearty support and co-operation to Sir George Grey’s Ministry. Mr. Fox’s Local Option Bill is, in my father’s opinion, an effort in the right direction, and calculated to raise the tone and better the condition of the community. Ho thinks that the principle of that Bill, viz., that the people should have a voice in the matter, is a just one, and that the result would probably be not, perhaps, to diminish tho number of licensed houses, but to improve them; to make them less of drinking saloons, and more of accomodation houses, and by suitable arrangements convert them into club-like centres of intelligence and rational intercourse. With this view, ray father would concur in Mr. Fox’s Bill, or any similar measure. May I bo permitted to say that the member for Wellington ought to be a man who can effectively enunciate the views of hia constituents. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ELLIOT L’ESTRANGE BARTON. February 5,1878.
