Special Advertisements, riio THE ELECTORS OF WAX--1 KATO. Gentlemen, —Having received very numerous requests of the warmest ami most friendly nature from all parts of the electorate that I should do so, I have decided to offer myself for the fourth time for election as your representative in Parliament.. I desire to say, however, that even if these expressions of good-will had been much less numerous and widely distributed I should still have deemed it my duty to come forward at whatever cost so long as there appeared to be the slightest chance of a supporter of the present Government taking the place which you have so long and so pleasantly permitted mo to occupy. I think I can say with truth that I have never been looked upon as a violent party man; still I desire to say most emphatically that, as matters political now stand, I consider it a solemn duty devolving upon every man who cares a rap for his adopted country, or who baa children growing up in it, to kick out of office and to keep out of power a Government like the present one. When I address you shortly I think I can easily show to those who don’t know it already (and they must surely be few) that the Government, by their repeated sacrifice of principle, by their departure from nearly all their pledges, by the means to which they have resorted to obtain support, and by their internal dissensions, have done fifty times more to degrade representative institutions in the eyes of the people, and to damage the credit of the colony as a place for settlement in the eyes of Europe, than all previous Governments put together. Now they afford us the spectacle of men who were but recently declared Free Traders, making another hid for office under the pretence of a policy of Protection, which, when viewed by the light of their proposed Customs Duties Bill, simply means increased burdens upon the people, and more money for them to spend without any compensating benefits whatever. Being well known to yon nil, until I meet you on the platform I need only add, as regards my policy that I belong to a number of men who mean to say to any future Government this : In future the colony must live within it’s actual income; the gross burden of taxation must not be increased ; deficits must be met by reduced expenditure and misfortunes by economy, and also that a general system of reduced expenditure must be commenced at once and carried into effect as speedily as possible.—l am, June 22nd, 18S5.
