TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA nENTLBMEN,-'" j,:.;..,.; The Wairarapa being divided into two Electoral Districts, I Beg to offer: myself as a candidate to represent the Southern Division in the next Parliament. Having represented tho Eloctora of the Wairarapa in -five successive 'Parliaments,. I ■■■■■■■:.: I with confidence ask yon to elect me, i i ..;. As soon as the Writs are out, 1 shall invite " ,: l .' you to meet me. in the several; centres of Yfliir i Wicnt servant, HRNIiYIhjWY. TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA p RNTMJIKN,- ■• ' | In acoordannfj with my already published intention, I now beg to nil :r myse'f as'a candidate for thp representation of your district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret the recent division of tho old electorates, and in this expression I feel satisfied public sympathy goes with me—not only in this, 1 but in the Hie majority of other districts of the colony, Onion, and not distension, should bo the watchwavd of all the sections of such a district as this, as.well as of all its settlers, whether living in town or country, The widespread feeling which has recently ar'sun that if we ar o to prosper as a colony wo must unite in developing the many' natural resources which lie in abundance around us, has found its expression in the prominence att.vinedby tho local government and o'her' similar questions during last session of Parliament. Since becoming a settler amonirst yon, any services I may have been able to render in this direction
have always met with tho most generous recognition: ami 1 can only assure you that, if elected, ho effort on my part will-be spared in assisting to place' these allmiiortant questions upon a satisfactory The Native questioa requires moro than passing notice, It is intolerable that the colduy should be called upon lo maintain a standing army at such a ruinous oxpendi aire, and Te Whiti should be sternly told (in deeds, and not in words), that his latest dfpurlnre is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions which will engage the attention of electors, I shall be Imppy to explain my views at the several centres of population in the electorate, While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by tho Hall Government at ;v critical period of the colony's history, 1 shal' decline to pledge myself to ai y pity, but will give my support in tho direction beat calculated to develop the material interest of the country generally. I icnmin, Yours faithfully, W. 0. BUCfUMN. TO MR. M. CASELBEKG..
