TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIRARAP QENTLEMENTHE present Parliament hag, for all practical purpoVes, ceased to exist, I tbauk you sincerely 1 for the confidence you have hitherto reposed in me by twice eleoting me one of your represeata l m, The Eopresentatkn Act provides for the division of the Wairarapa electorate into twt districts, viz,, Wairarapa' North and Waif*, rarapa South. It is my intention to offit myself as a candidate for the sion. I therefore avail myself of the preafit opportunity to assure the electors that, if elected, I shall ever consider it to be a pleasing duty to promote the interests of both electorates with which I hnve long heen so intimately connected. Again thanking you for the evidences of kindness and confidence which I have I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GEORGE BEETHAM, TO THE ELECTOBS or WAIRARAPA NORTE, QENTLEMEN,I have tl that it is my intention to offer myself: I shall ask you to meet me at the'v&rious centres of the Electorate, in. order to afford me opportunities for explaining fully my views on i I will not now attempt to do more than ask you to believe-if you think me worthy of a continuance of your confidenoe-that I shall always endeavor, to the utmost of my ability, to assist in the material develop, went of New Zealand generally, antf especially that of Wairarapa, one of the most promising country districts of the Colony. I remain, Yours faithfully GEORGE BEETHAM. TO THE ELECTORS op WAIRARAPA NORTH. ENTLEMEN,In compliance with the wish ex« pressed at a recent public meeting, I offer myself as a candidate for your represent®' tion at the forthcoming eleotion. I iijall take an early opportunity of meeting you in different parts of the district, and explaining my politic.il views. I am, gentlemen, Yours truly, A, W. RENALL. TO THE ELECTORS op WAIRARAPA SOUTH. Gentlemen,As a working settlor of twenty years, standing, I 'respectfully offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the Bew \ Parliament, Without Wishing to raiso any class or?, I may Btate that in my opinion the time has arrived when all olasies of settlers should be represented. Hithorto the small holders ' of property have not hid their share of representation. In inv long and intimate acquaintance with the working of the laws under which we live, it has caused mo often to feel that such a state of things ought not to exist. It is really no ÜBt our burking this question; all feel that a change is necessary. The large holders already have 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 coonomy is still necessary in thn administration ot our finances, I shall be prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support reserving to myself tho right to vote for whatever I consider to be for the benefit of the people and the advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I beliave the County Councils, in with oqr Highway Boards, are capable l of much good work, being firmly of Council comprised of our feWj*Hs'cttlerß , must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements and the management ef local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington, , The generous amount of BupportJpromißed to me wherever 1 have mado my views known lias encouraged me to ask for the ,honor of representing yon. I own to no personal feeling in the contest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers. J 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,
