Gentlemen, —A Government which has been declared by an overwhelming majority in Parliament to be guilty of the “ grossest maladministration,” has appealed to the people against this verdict. In my opinion, it ought to be thoroughly endorsed by a refusal to reelect those who voted on the Government side. The two members for this district on this, as on nearly all previous occasions, gave opposite votes, therefore, if there is anything like political consistency, it is impossible that both can again jointly represent you. This being the case I offer you my services, and if elected I shall do my best to assist to place, and support in office, a Ministry which, instead of being content with enunciation of great principles, and making reckless promises, will give practical effect to the measures, which, in my opinion, ought at once to be adopted, in order to avert both a native war, and a serious financial catastrophe. I altogether deny the right of the present Ministry to monopolise the name of “Liberals.” It seems to me absurd to say that we must submit to their maladministration, because their principles are right, when there is nothing to prevent our securing the advantages of the latter, without the evils of the former. These principles are held by most thinking men in the colony, as it has been long seen that the: progress of events has prepared the way for their adoption, and therefore I am quite prepared to support in the main the measures indicated in the Governor’s speech, but they must be given effect to by more competent men than those who have so muddled the Land Tax, that after the enormous expense already incurred in attempting to collect it, there is every reason to believe that it will have to be abandoned, and an Income and Property Tax substituted.

The urgent wants of the country are, in my opinion, retrenchment, a satisfactory solution of the native difficulty, with a view to the speedy occupation of lands now so unprofitably held by them. Settlement on the Crown lands of the large proportion of our population now dependent solely on public expenditure. Encouragement of the immigration of persons with sufficient capital to settle on laud, and of capital which will tend to develop the resources of the colony. Concurrently with this some better provision must be made than mere local rating for connecting the outlying districts with the railway lines, and for the formation and maintenance of roads through unsettled districts, and the counties, instead of being expected, as at present, to “ make bricks without straw,” must fce placed in a position to fulfil the obligations thrown on them. In conclusion, I will only say that I have now been long enough before you in various capacities to enable you to form an opinion as to how far I am qualified for the honorable position in which I ask you to place me. I trust every elector will recognise the importance of the contest, and will not therefore fail to record his vote. I hope soon to address you at a series of meetings, when I will more fully explain my views. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, C. PHARAZYN. Longwood, August 12tlj, 1879. EN E RAG ELECTION. WELLINGTON COUNTRY DISTRICT. REQUISITION TO CHARLES O’NEILL, ESQ., C.E., J.P. To Messrs. Mitchell, Fitchett, Monaghan, Thacker, and the other sixty Electors who signed the requisition. Gentlemen, —I have much pleasure in acceding to your request to allow myself to be nominated as a candidate for your district in the forthcoming election. In this address I can only Indicate a few of the main points of my opinions. I should, If returned, advocate a broad Liberal policy, tending to extend public works, widen the political power of the people, and secure the progress of permanent and happy settlement on the waste lands of this fine colony. I am in favor of extending the franchise, readjusting the electoral divisions .of the country, and shortening the duration of Parliament. I consider the present system of taxation should undergo careful revision and readjustment, in order that a due share.of public burdens should fall in just proportions according to the means and possessions of those who ought to contribute to the revenue. I will support a vigorous prosecution of the Pnblie Works policy—a policy which was strongly supported by me when 1 held a seat in Parliament. I believe in no half-measures. I consider that the recent Five Million Loan —at a time when money is so abundant and cheap at Home—is too small for the read requirements of the colony. Considering these requirements, I would approve of another loan at once, feeling sure that it could all be so well expended for the permanent welfare of the country. New Zealand has already shown the great expansive power of her natural resources, especially when the growth of these has been fostered and encouraged by the national system of railways and other public works. I consider* however, that those works in the North Island, and particularly in this part of the North Island, have not been carried on'with the same vigor or just apportionment of expenditure as has marked their prosecution iirthe South. If elected, it shall be my earnest endeavor to obtain justice to the North in this direction. 1 The public works should he boldly planned, so as to render promising districts of the country I accessible by road or rail. I shall have the pleasure of seeing the electors personally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, CHARLES O’NEILL,
