TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA. n ENTLFiMBNTHE present Parliament lias, for all practical purposes, ceased to exist. I thank you sincerely for the confidence you have hitherto reposed in me by twice electing mo one of your representatives, The Representation Act provides for the division of tho Wairarapa electorate into twi districts, viz,, Wairarapa North and Wai. rarapa South. It is my intention to offer myself as a candidate for the northern divi sion. I therefore avail myself.of the present opportunity to assure the electors that, if elected, I shall ever consider it to bo a pleasing duty to promote the interest! of both electorates with which I h:ive long been so intimately connected. •Again thanking you for the ovidonccs of kindness and oonfidonco which I have always received at yonr hands, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GEORGE BEETHAM. TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA NORTH. /IENTLEMEN,I have the honor to inform yon that it is my intention to offer myself as a eandidalo for the representation of your district at the approaohiiij} genoral election, I ehall ask you to moot ma at the various centres of tho Electorate, in order to afford me opportunities for explaining fully my views on political questions of the day. I will not now attempt to do more than ask you to believe—if you think me worthy of a continuance of your confidenoe-tliat I shall always endeavor, to tho utmost of my ability, to assist in the material develop, ment of New Zealand generally, and especially that of Wairarapa, one of the most promising country districts of the Coloay.

TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA p ENTLEMEN,In compliance with' the wish ex. pressed at a recent public meeting, I offer myself as a candidate for your representation at the forthcoming election. I shall take an early opportunity of meeting you in different parts of the district, and explaining my political views, I am, gentlemen, Yours truly, A.W.EENALL. I'o THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself as t candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. , Without wishing to raise any class erf, I may state that in my opinion the time has irrived when all classes of settlers should lie represented. ■ Hitherto tho small holders of property have not h\d their share of representation. In my long and' intimate acquaintance with the working of tho laws under which we live, it has caused mo ofttu to feel that such a state of things ought not to exist. It is really no ust our burking this question; all feel that a change is necessary. The largo holders already havo their representative, anil. wo are entitled . Although not altogether in favor of many actions of the present Government, yet believing as I df> that unflinching economy is still necessary in tlm administration of nnr finances, I shall he prepared to give the flail administration an independent support, reserving to myself tho right to vote for whatever I consider to be for tho benefit of the peoule and the advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the .County Councils, in conduction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily he better acquainted with our requirements and the management of local aff.urs than a Government official located at Wellington. Tho generous amount of support [promised to me wherever 1 have made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no persinnl feeliug in the contest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers. I hope to meet you at the various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed. Yours faithfully, HUttTON BOYS. Taratahi, September 28,1381. ,:.'
