TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST.

ENTLEMEN,—At the request of a large number of my fellow settlers, I have consented to stand for the 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, ii he does hie duty, for the time, trouble, and expense be is put to on their behalf.

I regret that I cannot spare time at this busy season of the year to canvass, nor am I ■o wealthy as to be able to spend moitey over the election,

I will at the larger centres of population address the Electors apd give such informstion as to my political opinions as may be necessary, which, combined with a knowledge of me that a great many of my telloweettleM have, should be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in voting. I should, if returned, expect to exercise entire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to vote as I think right and best suited for the constituency. J 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 X consider their steady conduct in the affairs of the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment, baa materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing. This oountry, I believe, is now recovering from the long depression, and only wants a continuation of the present paretui 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 iu taxation directly it is possibls. I believe in every facility being given for men of small means to acquire land, and that land for such purposes should he 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 je greater than we can afford. From my long resilence here, I know the district intimately, »pd our wants and interests are identical.

I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full jantes tn the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may possess 1 should use it to the utmost of my powsr tor the betur government ci the MMtry and the |>enest of the district. O, ARTHUR,
