CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the 'Evening Mau,.» Sib,— l beg leave to complain through the medium of your, valuable columns of an annoyance, certainly not a serious one, but detrimental to some one's interest, and annoyance to others as well as myself. I have been called upon by a gentleman asking me for my rote and interest at the coming election of City Councillor. Now.lrespect this gentleman but not sufficiently to give him n,y vote for his return to the City Council, (he savors Coo much of the ring ) Now, as the voting i s by ballot, why should I be annoyed by him or have to annoy him by saying "No," couaequently making a temporary enemy of him. Perhaps some of your readers have not given it a thought that by pledging our vote we deprive ourselves of the prmlege of .the ballot, and that if this is to be we might as well do away with the balloting principle altogether. I am, &c, A Votes.
