To The Editor of The Evening Mail.
Sir—"Radical Reformer, No. 80," bad a grievance and made it public in a manly, out-spoken manner. The complaint was met by the.equally terse and civil answer of Mr. John Percy, and I think, sir, that this correspondence is capable of producing much good. If any elector, through neglect or indifference, fails to record his vote, he has no right to complain if the decisions of the City Council go against his personal xiewa, while, on the other hand, if the whole of the burgesses would vote, we ought to have men elected for the Council and the offices connected with it in whom all would feel confidence that their acts and resolutions would be the best at which they could arrive for the public welfare, without the necessity of laying all the details before their constituents. At the ensuing election— 1. Let each man take care that he has paid his rates; 2. Let each man record his vote and go in quietly for Constitutional Reform.
