Electoral TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. fi ENTLEMEN.—As you will shortly be called upon to elect a member to represent you in Parliament, 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 butistaction, I am prepared to give 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 my opinion some of its measures hate been such. If you do me the honor of returning me as your representative, my be9t 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. 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. a I shall also use my best endeavors to secure the freehold of the agricultural leases at Obinemuri, the extension of the telegraph system through that district, and the fuller development of the goldmining industry by the opening 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 to Rotorua; and tho establishing of road communication between the East Coast and Waikato, so as to enable the inland residents to visit the Coast settle* ments. I I shall take an early opportunity of addressing the electors in every convenient part of the constituency, when I hope to state my views more fully. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, GEO. VESEY STEWART.
