Elsctosal Distbict. f^i ENTDEMEN,— At the request of \X very many old friends among you I have now to deolara 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 v fully to enunciate my political views, and the line of conduct which, as your representative,. I would {>ropose to adopt; Meanwhile, the folowing are brief indication^ of my opinion on. various questions intimately 'affecting your interests on public works :— I think no railway Bystein for the South Island is complete without a connection being established between the great'trunk line and the West Ooast. In any case railway communication with Chriatchurch must be made as early as possible an accomplished fact A considerable portion of fhe Four Million Loan ought to W permanently allocated to the construction of this line, and the short Greymouth line pushed on vigorously up the valley. A good coach road, well bridged and graded, between Reefton, Abaura, 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 Th» harbor, works at both Greymouth and Westport should of course be steadily proseeuted, and the success -that" has attended the initiatory work at both places fully, warrants the expenditure' required for the* future. As to education, the present Act has its minor defects, but on the broad question of secular education I am of opinion it adopts the only logical and practical ftaethoa & State interference in educational matters. Id finance I believe we have at present as Colonial Treasurer the ablest man available, bnt I am not in favor of Government Insurance against poverty. It is an Utopian scheme, which, if ever carried ou^ would press most,. heavily.on 1 fhe industrious. The systejtn of administering justice in the Ooldny re,quires a radical reform. I hope to" have an opportunity of detailing to you^the changes which for many yewrhaVd appeared to me necessary. If you .A) ma the honor of selecting me as your Bentative I shall enter the Hcftise as an independent member, inclined to give a general support to the present GojvernK ment, v but perfectly free to votean4«ot as I may consider best and wisest in your interest and that of the Colon* AVclargfcr* Quo. thing you may feel sure '6i,'tn»t you 'will '^nd no one who has a more affec^ tionate and lively concern for being of the district and the. people in.it than myself^ ;< . ;- r ; ; ' 1 - '■■• '■"'■','' I h»ve the honor to be, . , . . ■: ''■ „ • i" v J 'iGhnrteineri, , Your obedient servant," " SjDWA^nSaiW.
