Electoral tron of strictly public works, and those of a reproductive character ; the schedule of such wnrks to be in the first place approu-il i,| by Parliament previous to the money being raised. The financial position of the colony, I am convinced, demands the earnest attention of iv-ry c( loutst, and as your representative I would be prepared to support most substantial reductions being made in the cost of the administration. A. self 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 the construction of the Thames and Waikato railway, the acquisition of the freehold of the gold field, 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 take that opportunity of enlarging upon the matters referred to above, and shall also speak upon other subjects of interest to the electors. 1 am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, Wm. McCullough. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. pi 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 lion. John Hall has managed the affairs of the Colony in such a way as to give general satisfaction, 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 have 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* 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 shall also use my best endeavors to secure the freehold of the agricultural leases at Ohinemuri, 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 toEotorua; and the establishing of road communication between the East Coast and Waikato, so aa to enable inland residents to visit the Coast settlements, i 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. , 2892 (For continuation of this class of Advertisements see Fourth Page.)
