GentlemenIn view of the dissolution of Parliament, I have respectfully to intimate that it is my intention to seek re-election for the district which Ihave represented for so many years. It is my intention to hold meetings at the several centres of population, when I shall place my views on-matters both of local and general interest fully before you. In the meantime I may state that I intend to give a hearty support to the programme of the Liberal party, including the repeal of ■ the Land Tax, the imposition of a Property and Income Tax, the reduction of the taxation on the necessaries of life, liberal Land Laws, Triennial Parliaments, the vigorous prosecution of Public Works, and other Liberal measures which were indicated in the Governor's speech at the opening of Parliament.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HENEY BUNNY. August 11th, 1879. 923 mO THE ELECTORS OP THE I WjHEARAPA. ' A Government which lias been declared by an overwhelming majority in Parliament to be guilty of th° "grossest maladministration," has appealed to tile people against this verdict. In my opinion, it ought to be thoroughly endorsed by a refusal to re-elect those who voted on the Government side. The two members for this district on this, as on nearly all previous occasions, gave opposite votes, therefore, if there is anything like political consistency, it isimpossible that both can again jointly represent you. This being the case, I offer you my services, and, if elected, I shall do my best to assist to place, and support in office, a Ministry which, instead of being content with enunciation of great principles, and malting reckless promises, will give practical effect to the measures, which, in my opinion, ought at once to be adopted, in order to avert both a Native War, and a serious financial catastrophe. • I altogether deny the right of the present Ministry to monopolise the name of "Liberals, " It seems to me absurd to say that we must submit to their maladministration, because their principles are right, when there is nothing to prevent our securing the advantages of the latter, without the evils of the former. These principles are held by most thinking men in the colony as it has been long seen that the progress of events has prepared the way for their adoption, and therefore I am quite prepared to support in the main, the measures indicated in the Governor' speech, but they must bo given effect to by more competent men than those who have so muddled the Land Tax, that alter the enormous expense already incurred in attempting to collect it, there is every reason to believe that iMvill have to be abandoned, and an Income and Property Tax substituted,
Hie urgent mints o[ !he country are, in my opinion, retrenchment, a satisfactory solution of the Native difficulty, with a view to the speedy occupation of lands now so nnproutably held by them. Settlement on Crown lands of the large proportion of our population, now dependent solely on public expenditure, Encouragement of the immigration of persons with sufficient capital to settle on land, and of capital in any way which will tend to devolop the resources of the colony, Concurrently with this some better provision must be made than mere local rating for connecting tic outlying districts with the railway lines and for the formation and maintenance of roads through unsettled districts, and the sent to'' make bricks without straw" must be placed in a position to fulfil the obligations thrown on them. In conclusion I will only say that 1 have now been long enough before you in various" capacities to enable you to form an opinion as to how jar I am qualified for the honorable position in which I ask you to place me. I trust every elector will recognise the importance of tno contest, and will not therefore fail to record his vote. I hope soon to address you at a series of meetings when I will more fully explain my views, I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, C. PHAIIAZYN.
