o"''oFs. under tho convention system which
nus heretofore prevailed, our greatest men have
peeh kePs out Of tho presidential chair, while
under tho lIARE scheme the most popular man
could certainly be elected. !. IL would bring
nome 70 every clector the feeling of actual and
personal responsibility, convert what nrc now
oare mnJoritics into unanimous constituencies,
ana demoralizing political contests into efforts
oil honorable emulation between candidates.
In 1860 the total vote polcd for President
was f,6eO, .93, of which Mr.. LINCOLN had con-
siderably less tlnn one-halE-I, ,8GG, ,45a; yet
tic electoral vote was over onc.hulr; the
whole vote bcing BOB, Mr.. LINCOLN obtained
ieo votes, whereas the true proportionate cleo
'orai vote would only hRye been 12I for his
share. In 1861, MIR. LINCOLN had 2,223, ,035
votes, represented by m electoral vote of 2I3.
