No " Straight Shots ~ Wanted.


The Dispatch does not concur in the
views Of the correspondent whose COM
muncation it published yesterday under
the signature Madison
We believe that every voter who votes
at the Democratic primary should be
required to vote for five Common Council
men-"no more; 10 less" This the plan
demands; this we think che best policy.
To be sure this provision is not wholly
free from objection; but it is much freer
from objection than would be a provision
which ii it did not encourage. would
certainly allow straight shots"
If straight shots were allowable
few active workers in each ward
would by their persuasion of voters be
able 10 advance their favorites to the
head of the poll by getting voters to
vote straight shots" for them. In other
words these workers" would influence
many persons TO leave on the ticket for
Council only one name-and that name
the name OF their favorite This was
done in olden times. To correct this trouble
the present rule was adopted by the City
Committee and 1t has proved to be a
GOOD, wise rule. Under the old rule plain
unsuspecting voters went 20 the polls
and voted for five of the best councilmen
they could select from the list; but the
workers went there and worked for
"straight shots" for their favorites, there
by unduly advancing them on the poll,
The rule now in vogue. ard which we
hope TO see remain unchanged, was made
In the interest Of the great body of the
voters who are altogether unskilled in
the use Of straight shots"
All that this rule demands is that when
there are eight or ten candidates on the
ticket for the Common Council the voter
shad indicate the five he prefers. He need
not vote for councmcn at all on the 26th
OF April. bu; II he does 80 vote he must
say by his ballot which. In his judgment.
are the five best candidates Offering. HIS
advice is wanted. For this the primary Is
20 be held. Surely he is subjected to no
hardship when he Is asked 10 give his
party his counsel in this matter. Our
primary is q family affair and we dis
like TO think that there viii be any man
on the lis, so Objectionable that any
Democrat will be unwilling to say that
he can't make out ticket by including
that name. The voter In whom such
spirit Is fostered is not apt 10 bother him
self about going TO the polls at the time
OF the general election TO support his
party's nominees should that objection
able name appear among the nominees
and therefore his party's cause might well
be entrusted to safer hands
The City Committee has done Its best

House OF Representatives.
We would as soon rely upon Mr.. Mar

not that we Democrats Will have to over

our people are real true-bluc Democrats.
Besides. they have known Mr.. Cleveland s

Captain James Pollard, adjutant or Lee

heard to remark that he was feeling UNI
usually well.
About O'Clock yesterday morning now

the facts to Commandant Bigger. who mad

HIS ARMY RECORD.
Captain Pollard was born in King Will
liam county sixty-six years ago, and was
educated for the profession of civil engi-
neering. At the breaking out OF the war
he enlisted in the Lee Rangers, Company
II. Ninth Virginia Cavalry, which com
pany was raised by Captain, afterwards
General ". III. +. Lee. The latter was
succeeded In command Of the company by
Captain Douglas, and when his successor,
Captain Thomas Haynes. was desperately
wounded and retired. Lieutenant Pollard
was promoted captain.
Captain Pollard was magnificent
horseman. and an ideal cavalryman.
There was not n more fearless and dash
ing soldier IN the Confederate army. AT
the same time. he was perfectly cool and
collected under fire: always kept his
head even in charge. and had the i'm
plct confidence OF his companions. He
was in command Of the detachment who,
IN March 1867. cut OF and killed Colonel
Uric Dahlgren while the latter and the
remnant Of his picked column were en-
dedvor.ng 10 reach the Federal lines at
