I shall take an early opportunity" of addressing the electors at the various centres, and explaining my political views m detail. In the meantime I may state that I am more m accord with the policy Pf the Atkinson Ministry than with' that of any of the numerous leaders on the ..other side of the present House. Though that Ministry has no doubt made mistakes I believe the leading members of it have.' bti the' whoje worked honestly .according rto their lights,- for the' good of the oolony : at' large, and that especially they have tried to promote the prosperity of the country districts by liberalising the land laws, and by their scheme for the construction of roads and bridges, the partial failure of which through want of funds is attributable to causes beyond tfye^ pqijt rpl pf' anyyGoverpmehtiv^^'■eari--; not, bbweVe'-, agree with' Mr Rol« ■ leston's projected schenae of perpetual leasing? or with what it is now the fashion to call the nationalization of the land. Let the Crown lands be leased on. the easiest terms com- j iP^ti^le witli (Jije provision for purvey j &nd rp.ad mating, %t as under ,b\e present Ac. let. a/ purchasing clause always be granted after a fair. prQ" pprtioii w iiiprovewent has been naade, The , truest nationalisation of the land.

I should like to see our railways managed by a non political Board, the members of which should only be removable m the same manner as 'Judges of the Supreme Cpurt, Other apd minor questions I will deal with when addressing the elec« tors face to face. If I have the honor to be elected, I can conscientiously say that I will endeavour to the best of my ability to represent the district as a whole, without bias m favour of any particular pfrrt of while, remembering at the samp timptHat a member i^ elected to watch' oyer the interests of thp cplpny at large. .
