representatives have voted against IL. One
party glOries in its record, its earnest
support Of the war, its determined
love Of right and freedom, and its
determination to SO place traitors that their
rebellious spirit must in the future consume
itself, having no opportunity for disturbing
the national repose. The other isafraid to open
the whitened sepulohre, stands trembling lest
its record should be revealed, and seeking to
hide itself behind the person of one respectable
member. The attitudes Of the two organiza-
tions, the tone of their declarations, and the
principles enunoiated by each, need but to be
compared to show our people that he who
votes for Judge Sharswood votes for the tri-
umph Of Vallandgham, Wood, Reed and In
gersoll, as much as though he had supported
them in 1868. The same political parties CON
tinue to-day, the same fight is still progressing,
the issues to be settled are bat continuation
of those four years ago contested, and vic
tory of the Democrats to-day would be re-
ceiyed with joy by those who shook hands and
congratulated each other when the news of
Bull Run, Big Bethel, and McClellan's retreat
was received. With candidates equal in per-
sonal merit, the fight is on the principles Of
the parties. Choose you this day which you
will serve: whether it will be the party that
carried us safely through the war, and will
carry us to peaceful termination; or the one
which tried TO defeat our armies, and now
seeks to reinstate traitors

Representation for Minorities,

THE amendment offered in the Senate to the
Supplementary Reconstruction bill by Senator
Buokalew, providing for what he terms
Cumulative" voting-that is, allowing each
voter to vote for as many Representatives in
Congress as his State may be entitled to, and
to distribute these votes among the candidates
as he may choose, either all for one, or part
for one and part for another, or in any other
way-reates to a reform which is daily attract
ing the attention of careful thinkers. It's
object is to give the minority its due voice in
the making of laws. Mr. Buckalew remarks
that rule by the people, and not a mere ma
jority rule, is the true principle of our Govern
ment. According to our present political
arrangements, the minority has very little
voice in the Government. The principle ad-
vocated by these reformers is that the ma
chinery of government shall be so arranged
that every man may be represented. For in
stance-take State Legislature consisting of
one hundred members. If the State is divided
politically into three-ffths Republicans and
two-ffths Democrats, the representation ought,
according to this plan, to stand sixty Repub-
licans to forty Democrats.
Many plans have been suggested to accom
plish this end, and among them is this of Mr..
Buckalew. In the recent election of members
of the Constitutional Convention in New York
the delegates at large, comprising quite a
large portion of the Convention, were chosen
upon general ticket each voter being allowed
to vote for only half of the whole number to
be chosen. This enabled the Democrats to
choose One-half these delegates, something
which they could not otherwise have done.
There are many very strong arguments
which might be advanced in favor of the re-
form proposed. 1t does not do away with the
rule of the majority, but it gives the minority
chance to be heard, and to be represented
according to its numbers. Should it be
adopted, it would render extensive changes
necessary in our present system, among others
the abolition of the veto power. The single
district system of electing representatives
would also have to be modified in some man
ner. The subject is a fruitful one, and will
bear thought.
