The large holdersalreadybave their representative, and we are entitled to ours. ■ Although not altogether in favor of many actions of the present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in th« administration of our fiuancos, I shall be prepared to give the Hall 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 oxtended poweis, I believe the County Councils, in conjuuction with our Highway Boards, are capable of muefc good work, being firmly of opinion that ft Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily be hotter acquainted with our requirements »nd tho management ef local affuirs than a Govornmcut official located at Wellington, The generous amount of Bupportjprorniued to me wherever 1 have made my views knowu has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling 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, BURTON BOYB. Taratahi, September 28,1881,
