The Presidential Elections.
The following is a correct statement of
the electoral votes given to the various
candidates for President and vice Presi-
dent of the United States, since the adop-
ton of the Constitution. 1t should be OBJ
served, that at the first four elections, the
Colleges of Electors were required to vote
for two persons, the highest of whom
should be President, and the next highest
Vice President, of the United States. In
consequence of the equal vote between
Jefferson and Burr, in 1900, the Constitu-
ton was amended so as to require the
President and Vice President to be voted
for separately, as at present:
