By A LARGE MAJORITY.

Tho assumption that any majority claimed
for T1LnEN on the popular vote, or tt,at llo
in fact received, gives him my more c1aiul
upon the Presidency, IL worthy The Hon.
I3ordreN Sute himself. Ws do not choose
tho President by popular vote. The Elect
oral College, was especially contrlycd that
the President might be elected, not by tho
popular vote but by tho Electoral votes al
lottod to the States; and the candidate who
receives a minority Of tho Electoral votes
alone has any right to the office, though de-
tented overwhelmingly On tho popular vote.
Tho Constitution contemplated that tho
people Of eacls Stato should cast tho votes
allotted to them in tho Electoral College
aud, MS obtains throughout our entire poiiti-
cal system, the mnjority-if only ma
jority by ono vote-iB accepted as
representing tho whole people Of tho stato.
1t never was intended TINT tho eighty.odd
thousand majority for T1InEH in Georeia
should legally or morally add anything to
the Electoral yoto Of Georgia for T11DEs.
Tho Electoral sotesof Georg;a represents tic
entiro population Of that State; aud II every
vote polled in tho State lad boon cast for
T1LDgN it could not increase tic Electoral
vote to which Georgia ia entitled under tho
apportlonment.
Besides, tho popular majority, as apparent
on the face Of tho returns Of the late olec-
ton, indicates nothing save tho results OF
the abandonment by the Republican party
Of tho contest in the hopclossly Democratic
Southern States. These wero abandoned
beca'1se, no matter how great might 10 tho
Democratic majority, it could not modify the
result. Tile issue was not lnado upon the
popular vote. Had 1t been, the ca1,vnsa
would havo been rs spirited in Gcorgia aud
Texas rs in Indiana. Despite tho White
Liners and bulldozors, the full Republican
vote would hive been brought ont in each
State under the leadership Of mon WHO
couldn't be bulldozed or intimidated. Tho
deorgia eighty-oad thousand Democratic
minority would have been cut down to less
than twenty Thousand. md there would havo
been corresponding reduction III tho Demo-
cratic minority III Texas. Tho like would
havo been tue case in tho other Southern
Democratic States hnd the election Of Presi-
dent been dependent upon tho popular iu-
stead Of the Electoral vote. Tho popular
minority, therefore, TINT ia so mucl,
talked about, is in fact not a popular
minority. Tlto election waa not held for the
purpose Of determining whether T1npEx or
HAYES was the choice by popular minority.
Neither was the election 80 held TINT 1t fairly
