HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES To the Electors of the Inanqahua Electoral District. C"i ENTLEMEN,— At the request of X very many old friends among you I have now to declare myself a candidate for your vacant seat A few days will, 1 trust, bring us face to face, and it will be then my business fully to enunciate my political views, and the line of conduct which, as your representative, I would propose to adopt. Meanwhile, the following are brief indications of my opinmn ~ - on. various qqestiona affect^ig your interests on public works : — I think no railway system for the South Island is complete without a connection being. established between the great trunk line and ' the West Coast. In any case railway communication with, Christchurch must be made as early as possible an accomplished fact. A considerable portion of the Four Million F oan ought to be permanently allocated to the construction of this liney and the short Greymouth' line pushed on vigorously up the valley. A good coach road, well bridged and graded, between Reefton, Ahaura, and the Canterbury Plains, is urgently required, and ought to be completed within the next twelve months ; so, too, a road from the Big Grey to Charleston The harbor works at both Greymouth and Westport should of course be steadily prosecuted, and the success that has attended the initiatory work at both places fully warrants the expenditure required in the future. As to education, the present Act has it 3 minor defects,, but on the broad question of secular education I am of opinion it adopts the only logical and practical method of State interference in educational matters. In finance I believe we have at present as Colonial Treasurer the ablest man available, but I am not in favor of Government Insurance against poverty. It is an Utopian scheme, which, if ever carried out, would press most heavily on the industrious. The system of administering justice in the Colony requires a radical reform. I hope to have an opportunity of detailing to you the changes which for many years have appeared to me necessary. If you do me the honor of selecting me as your representative I shall enter the House asan ; independent member, inclined to give a general support to the present Government, but. perfectly free to vote and act as I may consider best and wisest in your intercut and that of the Colony at large. One thing you may feel sure of, that you will find no one who has a moTe affectionate and lively concern for the wellbeing of the district and the people in it than myself . I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Eowakt> Shaw. Wellington, March 19th, 1883.
