I am, gentlemen, years a cam tarhai Wit I may arrive! be rep of pro prcsen icquai under to feel to cxi this q necessa their ours Althtl actions' Believing aa I do that unflinching economy still necessaryin tlm administration of our finances, I shall he prepared to give the Ball administration an independent support, reserving to myself the right to vote for whatever I consider to be for the benefit of the peoole and the advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the County Councils, in conjunction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-Bettlers must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements *nd the management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington. The generous amount of support promised to nie wherever 1 have made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no persinal feeliug in the contest, hut simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers. I hope to meet vou at the various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed, Yours faithfully, BURTON BOYS. Taratabi, September 28, 1881,
