Electoral tion of strictly public works, and those of a reproductive character ; the schedule of such works to be in the first place approved of by Parliament previous to the money being raised. The financial position of the colony, I am convinced, demands the earnest attention of every colonist, 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 Waikatq railway, the acquisition of the freehold of the goldfield, 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. I am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, Wm. McCxjilouoh. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE OLD THAMES DISTRICT. S^\ ENILEMEN— yj ■ The Representation Act of the last session of Parliament haviDg divided your district iato two electorates, it has be come necessary for me to determine for which of the two seats I will seek reelection. After full consideration I have decided to ask for a RENEWAL of the confidence of the Electors of the Thames Borough. In thanking the Electors of Ooromandel for their past confidence and support, I desire to assure them that, if elected for the Thames Borough, I shall be at all times willing to work hand in hand with the member for Coromandel in securing the common interests of both Districts. I remain, Gentlemen, 1 Yours faithfully, JOHN SHEEHAN. Wanganui, Oct. 24. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE THAMES. p ENTLEMEN,— The notification whioh I have ad dressed to the Electors of the Old Thames District will have informed you of the fact that I have decided to again seek at your hands a renewal of your confidence. No better proof could be given of the importance of your district than the large array of candidates, and if you, gentlemen, fail to secure a good man to represent you it will not be for the want of a large field from which to select. My views oa colonial and district matters are so well known th»t I may be excused from referring now to a large number of topics about which I hope I shall have the honor of talking with you in a few days. No matter what the result may be, it will not prevent me from being duly thank* ful for your j-.revioua generous favours, nor for remaining, as for many years past— . i Your Obedient Servant, JOHN SHEEHAN.
