Electoral TO THE ELECTORS OF PH.E EAS'I COAST. '/GENTLEMEN.—As you will shortlj be called upon to elect a member tc represent you in Parliament, and as Captain Morris baa publicly announced hie intention of declining to contest the seat, and as the requisition to the Hon. Mt Hail seems to have fallen through, I have the honor to request your kind support, vote, and interest. Believing that the present Government under the leadership of the Hon. John Hall has managed the affairs of the Colony in such a way as to give general satisfaction, I am prepared to gire it a hearty and independent support, so long as I believe its policy beneficial to the colony, but I will not, hesitate to oppose it on any ques. tion in which I may consider its action detrimental to the interests of the Colony and this district in particular, and in ray opinion somo of its measures hare been such. If you do me the honor of returning me as your representative, my best exertions will be devoted to secure that justice for the East Coast which has been so long denied it, to open up the country by roads and bridges, to promote the settlement of waste lands by the introduction of capita lists from home, and the extension of the deferred payment system so as to give the working man the opportunity of acquiring a freehold on easy terms. The conjunction of capital and labor in a district affords an opportunity for working men to get abundance of remunerative employment, thus enabling them to cultivate their holdings and pay their instalments to Government on the land taken up by them. With regard to deferred payment land, I shall endeavor to have such an alteration effected in the law as will do away with the restrictions now imposed, such as personal residence, &c. I consider the working man should be allowed to take up areas of land without being bound to an arbitrary residence, and being obliged to give up his business which he may be carrying on elsewhere. I shall also use my utmost exertions to have the law dealing with mining matters improved. I consider the present system inflicts a grave injustice on a large and deserving class of the community. I need hardly state that I shall use my utmost exertions to secure ample reserves for the district, so as in time to lighten the rates. I shall also use my best endeavors to secure the freehold of the agricultural leases at Ohinemun, the extension of the telegraph system through that district, and the fuller development o.Lthe.goldmining.JndußtryJby-thc-open-ing up of roads to batteries, and encouraging the work of prospecting by Government aid; the opening of the Port of Tauranga; the laying of a Steam Tramway toßotoma; and the establishing of road communication between the East Coast and Waikato, so as to enable the inland residents to visit the Coast settle, ments. The interests of the important settlements of Opotiki and Wbakata'ne will receive my earnest attention. I shall advocate a measure for encouraging the settlers to prosecute the cultivation of maize, tobacco, and other crops, for wbioh their fertile lands seem so specially adapted. The further opening up of that part of the East Coast by roads, and its connection with Tauranga and the Thames on the one hand, and with Gisborne on the other, will engage my attention. The 'Hot Lakes and Taupo districts have hitherto been shamefully neglected, but I hope to take measures to bring their attractions more fully under the notice of. the country, and thus induce a further influx of tourists—which will of course mean so much money to the residents. I shall take an early opportunity of addressing the electors in every convenient part of the constituency, when T hope to state my views more fully. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, GEO. VESEY STEWART. Mount Stewart, September 30th, 1881. ' Notices VACCINATION WITH PUBE CALF, LYMPH.
