I thank yo» sincerely for the con. fidence you have hitherto reposed in me by twice eleoting me one of your represent tivcs, \ fhe Bepresentation Aot provides ftl districts, viz., Wairarapa North and W»lj rarapa Snath. It ia my intention to cfler myself as a candidate {or the northern divij sion. I therefore availmyaelf of the present opportunity to assure the eleotora that, if ad, I shall ever consider it to be a pleasing duty to promote the interests of both electorates with whioh I hiive long been so intimately oonneoted.

TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA NORTH QENTLEMEN,that it is my intention to offer' myself , ai'i I shall ask you to meet me at the.Various centres of the Electorate, in order to afford me opportunities for explaining fully my views on political questions of the day. I will not now attempt to do mere than ask you to believe—jf you think me worthy of a continuance of your oonfidenoe—that I shall always endeavor, to the utmost of my ability, to assist in the material develop, ment of New Zealand generally, and 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.
QENTLEMENIn compliance with {ha wish ex. \ pressed at a recent public m&Jting, I offer myself a? a candidate for your representation at the forthcoming oleotion, I shall take an early opportunity of mooting you in different parte of the district, and explaining my politio.il views, I am, gentlemen, Yours truly, A.W.SENALL. TO THE ELECTOBS of WAIBARAPA SOUTH, Gentlemen,As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament, Without wishing to raise any olass erf, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property havo not hid their share of re* presentation. In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of tho laws under which we live, it has caused mo often to feel that such a state of things ought not to exißt. It is really no ust our burking this qaestion; all feel that a change is neceßßary, The large holders already have their representative, and we are entitled to ours.
Although not altogether in favor of many, notions of the present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in th« administration of 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 bo for tho benefit of the peonle and the advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe County Councils, in conjunction with oar Highway Boards, are capable of muoh good work, boing firmly of opinion that » Council comprised ol our fellow-settlere must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements »ud the management ol local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington. . Tho generous amount of Bupportjpromißed to me wherever Thavo made my views knows has encouraged me to salt for tho honor of 1 representing you. I. own to no personal feeling in the oontest,'bnt simply onowbje ambition to servo my. fellown, hope to meet you at the various townu Yours faithfully, , BURTON BOYS, atahi, September 28,1S81 (
