Horton on the Electoral sg.tem.

Senator Morton is now preparing n
speech, which he proposes TO deliver
during the winter session, on our present
system of electing a President lie
is of the opinion that the present cam-
paicn has demonstrated that orr elect
oral system is thoroughly defective, and
that contingencies may arise, sich as the
death Of the President.elect, or ID close
canvass, wherein the vote of single
State would be decisive of tn result,
aud wherein frauds, informalities or ir-
regularities, as in Louisiana or Arkan.
sss, would require thai such vote be set
aside, which might precipitate 1t revoIu-
tion extending ell over the country.
He viii argue in favor of direct vote
by the people, with the abolition Of the
Electoral College, claiming that the lat,
ter is cumbersome piece of machinery,
which has been long since outqcown, and
which was instituted simply because Of
. want IF confidence in the pooolc by
the trainers Of the Constitution

TIE Lansing HspubiT0a, edited by
Mr.. 8. D. Bingham Chairman OF the
Republican State Central Committee,
in the course Of . strong and abe article
upon the Strength Of Parties uscs
this sensible language:
Founded upon ideas ipvoiI ing both
questions OF civil rights and moral pro.
gress, the only duty of the Republican
party is 70 adhere 20 them and take no
backward steps. Hence we believe that
the ideas laid down in our National
platform must be lived up TO by the Re-
publican majority in Congress. A prom
lDent pledge on the part Of the National
Convention at Philadelphia was the ab-
olition of the franking privilege. This
must be carried out by the Representa-
tiyes of the people SO, too, civil ser
vice reform must have n fair trial, and
be approved or condemned by those who
control the ballot box. The motives
which actuatc Republican leaders, either
in the Senate or House, have no weight
with the masses of the people. |: iS
matter of little consequences 20 them
whether any one or all of these men
continue in high positions which they
now hold but it is of consequence TO
the people that the pledges madO by
them through their delegates at the Ma.
tionai Convention shall be promptly aud
