WHY the President Should be e.
lectcd by Popular Vote.
From she New York Herald
The first ballot Of the Elcctor-
al College Greeley and Brown
electors) of Missouri resulted in
eight votes for Gfatz Brown for
President, six for Thomas A.
Hendricksaf1d onefo rDavidDa-
Wis, while for Yice-President
Gratz Brown had six votes, Geo.
w. Julian five, John M. Palmer
three, and W. S. Groesbeck one.
These electors were chosen by
the popular vote of Missouri to
give the electoral vote of the
State to Greeley for President
and Brown for Vioe-President;
but the death of Mr.. Greeley
throws them all into confusion.
We find similar disagreements,
too, among the Greeley and
Brown electors of several other
States. 1t is apparent from this
that, had Mr.. Greeley been elect
ed by the voice of the people in
the choice of the electors, his
death might have resulted in the
election of some man by the G.
lectors for President never con-
templated by the people. The
only way to avoid such Difficult
ties hereafter lies in an amend
ment of the Constitution which
will provide for the election of
President and Vice-President,
against all probable contingent
cies, directly by the voice Of the
people.
