TO THE ELECTORS of 1 WAffiARAPA myself as a candidate to represent the Southorn Division in the next Parliament. Having represented the Electors of the Wairarapa in five successive Parliaments, I with confidence ask yon to again eleot me, soon as tho Writs are out, I shall invite you to meet mo in the several centres, of Your obedient servant, HENEY BUNNY, TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA n ENTLEMEN,In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offer myself as a candidate for tho representation of your district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret the recent division of the old electorates, and in this expression I feel satisfied public sympathy goes with me—not only in this, but in the the majority of other districts of the colony. Uniou, and not dissension, should bo the watchward of all the sections of BUeh a district as this, as well as of all its settlers, whether living in town or country, The widespread feeling which has recently arisen that if we are to prosper as a colony we must unite in developing the many natural resources whioh lie in abundance around ur, has found its expression in the prominence attained by (he lpql government and other similar questions during laßt session of Parliament, Since becoming a settler amongst you, any services I may have been able to render jn this direction have always met with the most generous recognition; and 1 can only assure you that, if elected, ao effort q\\ my part will bp spared in assisting to place tfjese all: important questions upon a satisfactory footing, The Native questioa requires more thaji passing notice. It is intolerable that thj colony should be called upon to maintain a. standing armj at such a npous oxpendj tare, and Te Whiti should bo sternly told (in deeds, and not in words), that his latest departure is in reality his last, Upon tho other various questions which will engage the attention of electors, I shall be happy 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 a critical period of the colony's history, I shall decline to pledge myself to any party, but will give my support in the direction best calculated to develope the material interests of the country generally. I remain, Yours faithfully, W. C, BUCHANAN.
