Electoral tion of strictly public works, and those of a reproductive character ; the schedule of sue works to be in the first place uppro*! <Kit by Parliament previous to the money being raised. The financial position of the colony, I am convinced, demands the earnest attention <<f every nlonist, and as your representative I would be prepared to support most substantial reductions being made in the cost of the administration. A self j reliant policy I hold to be the policy for the future, in order to secure the continued prosperity of the Colony. I am opposed to the acquisition of large areas of native lands by private persons or companies for speculative purposes. It may appear almost unnecessary for me to refer to purely local questions, my opinions on such being probably well known, but I may say that tbe construction of the Thames and Waikato railway, the acquisition of the freehold of the goldn'eld, and the throwing open of all lands for settlement are matters that would claim my earliest attention. As it is my intention to personally address you at an early date, I shall tak9 that opportunity of enlarging upon the matters referred to above, and shall also speak upon other subjects of interest to the electors. I am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, Wh. McCullough. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE THAMES. /GENTLEMEN,— It The dissolution of Parliament Laving put an end to tbe relations which have for so long existed between us, it becomes my duty to acquaint you publicly that it is not my intention to offer myself again fur re-election by the Thames constituency.
