Washington's Nomination for the
Presidency.

The present way of electing a
President aud Vice President Is GER
tainiy preferable To that which pre-
vailed when Washington Was chosen.
Then two candidates were voted
for for the same position by each
political party entering into the con
test, and the candidate receiving the
highest number OF votes WAS dc
ciared President, and the cne secur-
ing the next highest Vice President.
In the event Of u lie the matter went
before Congress tor settlement. The
.system, AS early AS IN the year 1904,
NJ the eiection of Mr.. Jefferson for
the second term, Was discovered To
be defective one, aud the amenl

at Annapolis in lTS6 but five States
responded to the call. Partly through
the influence of Washington an ad
journment was effected to May fol-
lowing, the convention then to meet
at Philadelphia. Washington had
been elected by unanimous vote
President of the body. Franklin
aspired to the position, bnt seeing
defeat before him retired from the
competition with his customary dig
nifty. The Constitution of the United
States, which had its inception on
the 18th day of June, l716, was then
finally, on the 18th day of Sep,em
ber, 1887, adopted: and II was signed
first by "George Washington, Presi-
dent and De uty from Virginia"
There WAS much discussion in the
convention as to the representation
that should be accorded to Con-
gress "a regarded population. At
length one Representative to II ratio
of 10000 was determined upon. which
gave our first Congress sixty five
members from the thirteen colonies.
1t took tn months in those days of
slow coaches to raiify. There was
considerable opposition to it in some
of the States, but Washington's
great popularity added materially in
carrying ii successfully through the
ordeai. Then came Washington's
election to the Presidency, twelve
States voting tor him and New York
inactive. Although he should have

cess consists in so preparing Asbestos with
. strong, elastic adhesive and indestruetible
covering for steam pipes and boilers. which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use Il
u less expensive than Hair Felting and can
