der the caption, what "a the Llwf" in an ed-
toriil In TITS mornings SUN, you touch with a
sharp nail the vital question Of the validity Of
the Presidential election. II affected 10y the vote
Of IN olector not chosen by the people OF Ncr-
mont, hut vet 20 be appointed hv its Legisla-
turc. This article states the unquestiuned fact
that one candidate on the Iiavcs electoral ticket
Is constitutionay disqualified from sting a
vote for that candidate. You say conoiseiy aud
accurselv. An votes cat for him were ac-
cordinelv nun and void, aud ist the same as no
votes at all. II was not possible for him to be
chosen an elector aud the form OF voting for
him was Of no moro avail than II a dead man
had been voted for. Thus In reality the Repub-
lcaus only ran four candidates, leaving one
place without any candid tie"
This ia the whole case distinctly and correctly
rut. No regeneration can avoid 1t. rothins
hut force override 1t. 1t admitted ty the one
House Of the Legisla ture Of Vermont.
