mo IHIS ELECTORS OF THE GREY VALLEY DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN— I beg most respectfully to OFFER MYSELF as a CANDIDATE for the SEAT for the GREY VALLEY in the JHouse of Representatives, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr Edwatd Masters. As a ground on which partly to base my claims for your support, I would render you that my knowledge of gold, fields affairs generally, and of your district in particular, is very extensive. lam a strong advocate for the con? f 'ruction of the Railway to connect/the East and West Coasts of the Idrfh and was one of the first, ; .f not/the first, to suggest it as long ago as 1865, I pledge myself that, if returned, no efforts on my part shall be wanting to give speedy effect to a scheme which is of colonial, as well as local importance, and which laio well assured would be sueces* ful from the first moment the line was opened. , ' Without forfeiting my independence, 1 am prepared to give a hearty general support to the present Ministry, who have, in my opinion, labored honestly and efficiently to rescue the country from a financial difficulty— the result princi. pally of national extravagance extending over some years. More prosperous times are in store for the Colony if her public men persistently tread in the path of Reform which has been inaugurated. As I shall be with you in a few days, and shall then avail myself of every con* venient opportunity of addressing you from the public platform, I shall merely add that I look on small farm settlements as furnishing a powerful element for the progress of the country, And that I am favorable to the introx duction of the ballot system instead of auction in the disposal of Crowu lands on deferred payments. That I shall advocate a thorough rerf sion of the Licensing Laws ; the speedy abolition cf all remaining provincial ordi* nances ; the pushing forward the work of revising the Statute Book ; and the simplification of law procedure. My yiews are altogether progressive, but I mnst confess to having no gym* patby with change merely for change sake. I have thr honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, GERALD GEORGE FITZGERALD.
