TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA ■-,> SOUTH. ■. ■; i QENTLEMEN,- , The Wairarapa king divided into two Electoral Districts, I beg to offer myself as a candidate to represent the Southern Division in the next Parliament. Having represented the Eloctors of the Wairarapa in five successive Parliaments, I with confidence ask you to again elect me, As soon as the Writs are out, I shall invite you to meet, me in the several centres of lation, I am, Your obedient servant, HKNBY BUNNY, TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. p KNTLEMEN,— vJ In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offtir myself as a candidate for the ropresentation 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. Union; and not dissension, should be the watohward 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 arisen that if we are to prosper as a colony we must unite in developing the many natural resources which lie in abundance around us, has found its expression in the prominence attained by the local 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 in this direotion have always met with the most generous recognition; and 1 can only assure you that, if elected, no effort on my part will bo spared in assisting to place these allimportant questions upon a satisfactory footing, The Native questloa requires more than passing notice. It is intolerable that the colony should be called upon to maintain a standing amy at such a ruinous expendi ture, and Te Wliiti should be sternly told (in deeds, and not in words), that his latest departure is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions which will engage the attention of electors, I shall bo happy to explajn my (t( the eeyeral centres of population in the electorate, While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by the Hall Government at a critical period of the colony's history, I tW dcpliuo to ploilge 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. 0. BUCHANAN. TO MR. M. CASELBERG,

' • A's tlie requisition represents go very large and influential a fiectjon" of the Burgesses of Maoterton I have muq'fi pleasure in acceding to it, and if elected I promise to do my duty to the best of my ability without fear or favor, and to work in unisvn with the Councillors for the good of the whole Borough and to conduct the deliberations of the Council with propriety, My personal views .we well known to a large number of tho requitionists, but now state for the iiifermalion of nthpr rptppayers that they arc emm wically PRoOREg-iiVE and at the same time fkek raw recklessness. It will bp my aim to fostering Buch measures as will promote the substantial weifare and advancement of the Borough so as to enable it to attain the position its natural advantages warrants. At the same time I will consider it my duty to counsel the ratepayers against unmatured schemes for reckless borrowing and expenditure, and will use my best endeavors to protect the Burgesses from being weighted down with excessive and burdensome rates, In conclusion,' I wish to explain my reasons for not having taken part in local matters ere this, are that although having large interests; in tho Korough, I have not till now had leisure time at my disposal, i pattly from not wishing to push myself forward to tlw oxclu3ion of other gontlomen who liad prior claims on the suffrages of the i,—law, &e,, M.
