A variety of causes, and reasons have conduced to the determination' on my own part to offer myself as a candidate.for the office of Superintendent.', ■. ~ I It is quite evident that the ftitur-j advancement of this province must arise principally from ita mineral resources.

I reflect on the apathy shown boih by the Provincial Council and the Executive, as evinced in the session just closed, I arrive fit what appeal's to me to be the only just conclusion—that up to this time you have been directed by men unequal to the circumstances and the times; men who neither know what ought to be done or how to doit. , I do not take the present step hastily or unadvisedly* For some time past I have been solicited to do 8$ and received voluntary offers- of support; and, after maturely considering the subject; I am inclined to Con** ply with the suggestion; because I see no hope or possibility of a change of moasures without * change of men. ; - •..-■■-■ .■.■;;■ ■•...-■■•■ ■;..■ -.v , ->;■-;■;:;■' ";-- I have now lived long enough in Nelson to bewell known to the electors of the province, and' I believe it is generally, accorded to me that Itake a lively interest in all that concerns its material progress andiwelfare. As to my qualification to fill the gap already made, it does not .become, me to assume, yet I may be permitted to say I have passed the long period of forty years in those particular pursuits, the management of which are1 the particular requirements to^ the kdVanccnient of the proyincetqahigh..'degreeofprosperity, and I look forward to th^i-esult of tKe^*y.<Jf elation for the confirmation 'of this belief f and,'shoiil3;,l attain to the honorable position' I aspire1 to, my best energies shall be'taxed-to bring about* beneficial change in the present state ofstagnation.1- ' ! ; I look upon it as unwise, and therefore improper, in a candidate for any office t<> load his pretension with promises, and therefore only add that it would be my constant study jto promote the interests' of all classes, mercantile, agricuHural, and mineral, without; partiality or ; prejudice, s aud that I adopt;as my motto, 769 • r , WILLIAM LONG s WRRY.
