Electoral Notices ma THE ELECjpRS OF THE CITY JL OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN,—I beg respeclfullly to inform you that it is my intention to offer myself as a candidate for the honor of again representing the City of 'Wellington in the Hou-e of Representatives. Indisposition prevents my writing at any length; but it is my intention to issue a second address in the course of a few days, in which my views on the large questions at present agitating the public mind will be fully discussed. I will also make arrangements for calling my friends together and tor convening public meetings in various parts of the city, in order that opportunities may be afforded of explaining my conduct during the past, and of indicating the course of action I shall pursue in the future in the event of your doing me the honor of re-electing me. I remain. Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE HUNTER. Willis-street, 12th August, 1879. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen,— My political principles have been so frequently indicated and I believe are so well understood that they require little explanation. When I say that I am a Liberal I speak of myself as a Liberal who has no dubious beliefs to explain away, no past history to hide under cover of specious phrases ; a Liberal who believes in a thorough and efficient representation of the people as a whole, and one whose only aim in political life would be to promote the advancement and prosperity of the community. This latter point would be to mo at all times superior to party politics. These being the fundamental principles of my political creed, I need not say that I heartily approve of the policy shadowed forth in the speech delivered by his Excellency the Governor on the opening of Parliament. I believe that great necessity exists for the introduction of measures to secure a more equitable representation of the people, and a proper distribution of the burdens of taxation. I believe in Triennial Parliaments and in Manhood Suffrage with a residential qualification, and if elected I should actively co-operate in the passing of measures to give effect to these views. In order to facilitate the settlement of the people on the land, I should support the establishment of village settlements, believing that, as in the case of the Feildiug and Katikati Settlements, they would assist greatly in building up the prosperity of the colony. As to Public Works, I should urge the claims of the Cityand Provincial District upon the Parliament with the energy which X have exerted in a lesser sphere ; the first work to which my attention should be directed .being the West Coast Railway, the completion of which is of such importance to the whole Provincial Dis-' trict. I shall shortly have the opportunity to explain any points not touched upon in this short address. I remain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE FISHER. Election for the city of WELLINGTON. TO ROBERT M. GREENFIELD, ESQ, Senior Councillor for Cook Ward. We, the undersigned Electors of the City of Wellington, believing that liberal principles and the growing necessities of this city demand a more vigorous representation in the House of Representatives than has been given for many years past, and knowing that you are a strong advocate for the many measures of reform that are now engaging public attention, and also being of opinion that you will bring to the consideration of these questions a rare singleness and honesty of purpose, and in addition, will work vigorously for the best interests of the city, respectfully ask you to allow yourself to be nominated as a candidate at the forthcoming election, and we pledge ourselves, not only to vote for you at the said election, hut to use all our efforts to secure your return. We are, dear sir. Your obedient servants, Henry Gills John Daniel C. Thomas B. Garnham James Williams J. Pattersen Joseph T. Hollis J. Spiers S. Cimino James Wright Geo. Pirie W. B. Robinson Thomas P. Ransom J. C. Cooper A. Murray T. IC Macdonald Paul Coffey Joseph Saunders David Robertson John Maginuity J. Dixon R. H. Edwards William Smith George Leggett W.

TO THE ELECTORS OE THE WAIRARAPA. Gentlemen, — In view of the Dissolution of Parliament, I have respectfully to intimate that it is my intention to seek re-election for the District which I have represented for so many years. It is my intention to hold meetings at the several centres of population, when I shall place my views on matters both of local and general interest fully before you. In the meantime I may state that I intend to give a hearty support to the programme of the Liberal party, including the repeal of the Land Tax, the imposition of a Property and Income Tax, the reduction of the taxation on the necessaries of life, liberal Land Laws, Triennial Parliaments, the vigorous prosecution of Public Works, and other liberal measures which were indicated in the Governor’s speech at the opening of Parliament.
