THE ■gCONOMY JgOOT gHOP, O. J. MORELL, Has decided in future to conduct his business on strictly Cash principles, the pries of Boots and Shoes being made cheaper than ever, Now ia the time for those who wish to make purchases, -BEAD THIS — 3 I 8 ’ I •a a-Tco-a i is $ §-S s E-< 5 ffl Qfl <? 3« m O pq y"4£cy Q Q REMEMBER: THE ECONOMY BOOT SHOP, O. J. MORELL, PROPRIETOR,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. ENTLEMEN,—At the request of a large \JT number of my fellow settlers, I have consented to stand for tha district, I feel honored by the distinction of being asked to represent the district which I have lived in for seventeen years, and have seen so improved by settlement as to be one of the best in the colony, I need hardly say that if returned I shall do my utmost for the electorate. While feeling that I should be greatly honored by being returned, I yet consider that Electors are under an. obligation to a Member, it he does his duty, for the time, trouble, and expense he ie put to on their behalf.

J regret that I cannot spare time at this busy season of the year to canvass, nor am I so wealthy as to be able to spend money over ths election,

I will at the larger centres of population address the Electors and give such information ae to my political opinions as may be necessary, which, combined with a knowledge of me that a great many of my fallowsettlers have, should be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in voting. I should, if returned, expect to exerclee entire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to rota as I think right and best suited for the constituency. I am a believer in the present Government, with Sir Harry Atkinson as Premier, though I should not be a blind supporter. I think the late addition to the Ministry and the new distribution of seats likely to strengthen the present Government; and I consider their •toady conduct In the affairs of the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment, has materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing. This country, I believe, is now recovering from tbe long depression, and only wants a continuation of the present earetui management, and rest from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leaps and bounds as formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis.

I should vote for reduction in taxation directly it is possible. I believe in every facility being given for men of small means to acquire laud, and that land for such purposes should be opened for selection wherever suitable, In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe in absolute free trade, removing all possible restrictions. I am a strong advocate of free education, but consider that under present circumstances the cost is greater than we can afford. From my long residence here, I know the district intimately, and our wants and interests are identical.

I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full juatica to the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may pesfess I should use it to the utmost ot my power for tha better government, of the country and the benefit ot the district, A, O. ARTHUR,
