for their Ingenuity. AT the time of our
visit very volubIe little parsonage was

with other half-hungry visitors to eat

rho NODE ofEIeetIng lhe President.


The electors OF President and Vice
President are required, by the law Of
1892 and subsequent laws, to meet at
the capitols of their respective States
on the first Wednesday of December.
They will then organize by the choice
Of presiding officer and secretary, and
will fill vacancies, If any be found, in
their own number. The next thing in
order is the depositing OF their votes, a
ballot being taken for first President,
then for Vice President. Lists are to
be made of the ballots cast for each
candidate, and then duly certified cop

to be of record a second is transmitted
by mail to the seat Of goyernmenti and
the third Is conveyed by a special mes

on the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary the two houses OF Congress as
semble In joint convention. The
President OF the Senate takes the chair,
and tellers belonging to each house
are designated. The votes of the cleo
tors of each state for President and
Vice. president are then read by the
President of the Senate, and count
made by the telle:s. The person re-
ceiyiug the highest number OF votes for
President, being majority of the
whole, is declared to have been chosen
President, the person in like manner
receiving majority of all the votes for
Vice-President Is declared 10 be the
Yice.President elect.
In 1895 no president was elected.
and the Senators, retiring to their
chamber, made choice between the two
candidates receiving the largest num-
her of votes, Richard NJ. Johnson and
Francis Granger. Three Senators
John g. Calhoun, william @. Preston,
of South Carolina, and Hugh u. White,
of Tennessee-deClined TO take part in
this election. Colonel johnson was
chosen.
In 1900, and again in 1924, there was
no choice made OF President. The cleo
ton WAS made by the House of Repre-
from the three candidates
receiving the highest number of votes;
and the delegations from each State
were entitled, as under the old Consti-
tuition, to cast but one vote. Thomas
Jefferson was chosen in 1890, and John
Quincy Adams in 1924.
The electors of President and Vice
President are under no legal obliga.
ton TO vote for any specific candidate.
It was the evident intention of the Con-
yention of 1857 that the electors should
advise together in relation to- the per-
sons for whom they should vote. In
1900, for example, the Republicans had
agreed upon but one candidate till after
the electors had been chosen, but flnal-
ly made choice of Colonel Burr. In
1874 some ofliciOus Wings made the
that the electors chosen by
the State of New York should cast their
votes for Martin Van Buren,, which
would throw the election into the
House OF Representatives, and enable
coalition to be made between the
Wings and antl-Texas Democrats. The
however, was not serious
~ entertained.
is now again suggested that yfhe
Democratic electors from the eight
voting for Seymour shall vote
Tor General Grant, and soSmaEe the
unanimous. General Wash
ington did receive the Unanimous vote
of the Electoral Colleges, and Mr.. Mon
roe nil but one IN 1920.
