D. JOHNSTON, Junr., Returning Officer. Gisborne, July 17,1884. 292 ELECTORS OF WAERENGA-A-HIKA AND ITS DISTRICT. LECTORS, —Owing to Mr. W. L. Rees’ action against me, which has not yet terminated in the Resident Magistrate’s Court, I shall be unable to address you this evening. Electors, —I trust to your generous sympathies, and a strong desire for fair play, to stand by me on the day of Polling. Nothing will prevent me from going to the Poll, and if elected, of which I have net the slightest doubt, shall most certainly take my seat in the House as your Representative. As this notice may not be read by the whole of you, owing to the lateness of the hour it will reach your hand, I shall ask it as a special favor that those who receive the communication may notify to those who have not. Yours faithfully, 290 SAMUEL LOCKE.

EAST COAST ELECTION. MR . LOCKE will address the Electors at the times and places as follows :— Friday, 18th July, Hall, Makaraka Saturday. 19th July, Bruce’s Hall, Ormond Monday, 21st July, Macfarlane’s Hall, Gisborne 268 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST DISTRICTS. LECTORS, —You are aware, by a previous notification published in the newspapers, that it is my intention to again solicit your support for the coming election. The large majority which returned me as your member for the very brief session of Parliament assures me that the same honor will be conferred on me at the close of the coming contest. It will bs my pleasure, as it will, I feel, be my duty, to address you at the several centres of the districts, when I will explain my views and what are my intentions as your representative. I have the assurances of late Ministers that, whether in or out of office, they will give their most cordial support towards advancing the interests of the Poverty Bay districts. The little I was able to accomplish during the two or three days I was in Wellington is, I think, a guarantee of the bona fides of their intentions. You may feel certain that I will go for that party who are at once willing and able to assist me in advocating the many requirements of this long neglected electorate. It will have been seen by you that Mr. W. L. Rees, who stood lowest on the poll at the late election, has laid an indictment against me under the Corrupt Practices Act. The charge I shall meet, having a strong wish to court investigation. The motive which has actuated Mr. Rees in this action is too transparent to require explanation. Electors, I have no fear of the result of this contest. I believe you know that my political expressions are sincere, and that what I promise I will do my best to perform. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 265 SAMUEL LOCKE. KI NGA IWI MAORI O TE TAERAWHITI.
