THE NEW YORK LIBERALS.

The Elmira convention of New York
had rather mournful duty to perform in
undertaking to raise the liberal republi
can banner. Almost alone among the
States New York shows a sign of Organi'
zation. East and west the liberals have
gone down, leaving no trace in most OF
the States that they ever had an existence
This convention in New York was in
very impartial mood, bestowing its nomin-
atoms upon all parties, and rather plainly
evincing that what it did was only TO keep
up appearances. Spurned by the demo-
Gratis when Mr.. Cochrane and his CON-
mittee sought to continue the alliance
entered into with them last year, and no.
tilted that the sham Of liberal republican
ism would be no longer tolerated, the
liberals were reduced to forlorn condi-
tion. The platform smacks of Greeleyism
as was unavoidable, but the convention in
all its aspects was rather chilling to the
democracy. 1t is very probable that the
proceedings of this convention will prove
to be the funeral rites of the liberal repub-
lican party which Mr.. Greeley led. The
ticket nominated, except where the names
are borne upon the tickets of the other
parties, will receive but weak support.
the liberals themselves dividing to large
degree and casting either the straight re-
publican or democratic ticket. We doubt
if any attempt will be made after 1873 to
continue an independent liberal republi-
can organization in any State. The un-
derstanding among the members is that
the game Is up" and that each man is at
liberty to make the best shift he can for
himself

For the first time in the history of Penn

A curious exemplifcation of genuine de-
mocracy was given at the last New Haven
town meeting in the election Of a Yale Col
lege professor to one branch of the common
council, and the Yale college colored carpen-
ter to the other.
A Washington correspondent telegraphs

The Democratic Committee of San Fran
cisco say they are ready to prove that over
100000 gold coin was paid by Eugene
Casserly, the Democratic Senator from CAL
ifornia, for his seat in the Senate, and that
they have their information "irom parties of
the highest and most respectable standing in
| California" The committee have forwarded
copy of their statement to Vice President
| Wilson for the information of the Senate.
Mr.. Casserly will probably demand an in
vestigation, and the 'partes Of the highest
standing will be enabled to visit the seat OF
Government at the public expense.

ELECTION or PRESIDENT.

The following are among the proposition
which are being considered by the Committed
on Privileges and Elections with reference tc
. change in the manner of electing President
and Vice President of the United States.
First-To abolish the Electoral Colleges.
Second-ThSt the President and Vice. Pres
ident shall be elected by the people voting d.
sectly for the candidates.
Third-That each State shall be divided in-
to ~ many districts ~ the State 10 entitled to
representatives in Congress, to be composed
Of contiguous territory. compact in form. and
- nearly equal in population as may be, and
the person having the highest number of votes
Tor President in each district shall receive the
vote of that district for President, which shall
count oae Presidential vote; that each State
shall be entitled to two Presidential voters at
large, which shall be counted for the person
having the highest number of votes in the
whole State.
Fourth-The person having the highest
number OF such Presidential votes in the Unit
ed States shall be President.
Fifth-These provisions to be applicable to
the election of Vice President.
Sixth-Congress shall have power to pro.
vide for holding and conducting the election
for President and Vice President, and to es.
boUaaou Sfluoubis io1 TIC ucCIsiou VI CUutcete
- to the vote in any district or State, and
make regulations governing the proceedings
Of these tribunals.
By the adoption of the district system OF
voting BY the people directly for candidates,
with two Presidential votes in the State At
large, and the plurality rule for determining
the result, the election il brought as nearly
home to the people a. can be, not to make il
an election BY the nation - one community,
and it still recognizes the States as such, while
it enables the people of each district in the
State TO express their will. 90 that hereafter .
State need not cast solid vote a. under the
present system. 1t tends to dispense with the
convention which 10 now necessary in order
to form an electoral ticket for each State, and
1t enlsrges the liberty Of the individual voter,
Who can vote for any citizen he may select for
President or Vice President. By the plural.
ity system the election will always be final,
and there can be no necessity for an election
By the House Of Representatives, which 10 10
much objected to. The plurality rule has
been adopted successfully 10 all the States in
the Union except four in the election of State
odAcers, and it generally preyails in the cleo
1on Of msnbefs Of Congress. In none of the
States whore u has been tried 10 there any
thousht Of abandoning it.
Other questions are considered in connec. .
tson uito We votss IN States and districts, and
providing Tor the exigency Of the death or res
tgnstion OF the President after the election
and before the Inauguration. These are sug.
gestions which have been considered, but of
course, no conclusions could be arrived at.
