she has relieved. Mickey Tracy is also

As to the Matt Hogan, he comes from

nefarious occupations of the

sheriff and circuit clerk had right to take

unless it might be by defeated eandi-
date confding more in the favoritism of
the county clerk than in the justice of
his claims to election. s.,s-4..sr.9.... -
II 1t be supposed, as is claimed, that it

10 the choice of proper language to ex
press their intention. Let us read again
this clause with this thought and purpose
10 our own minds and see how lily the
language indicates or expresses it: The
president ofthe senate shall, in the pres
ence OF the senate and house of represen.
tatlves, open all the certificates end the.
votes shall then be counted" | appre-
bend that any one who reads this article,
intending to embody such purpose in
the provision, would use such language as
has already been suggested before, or as
this: The president of the senate shall
open the certificates and count the votes
In the presence of the senate and house
OF representatives"
Conceding for the moment that it was
Intended by this provision that the presi-
dent OF the senate should count the votes
IN the presence of witnesses, what
explanation or excuse can be offered for
requiring the whole membership of the
two houses OF congress-over 100 persons
at that time and now nearly 40O-to be
present, and. SO far as the provision of the
constitution is concerned, to assemble for
that purpose? Why not have provided
that two or three officers of the govern
ment, members Of the cabinet or of the
the supreme court, residing at the capital.
should witness the counting of the vote +?
Such number could more effectively
observe the action of the president of the
senate, and it is impossible to conceive of
any reason why so large a body of men
should be required to come together from
all quarters of the country for this simple
purpose. This provision in the original
constitution led to the enactment in
1872 OF statute requiring congress to be
in session the second Wednesday in
February 1898 and every four wears
thereafter, and this continues to be the
law, and was evidently made to avoid the
necessity OF the members of the two houses
OF congress going to Washington for the
express purpose of counting the electoral
vote. 1t seems difficult to conceive of an
intelligent or deiiberative body of men
prescribing such cumbersome, piece of
political p achinery, If its only use was to
be useless: for If this array of the cpp
posed wisdom and craftsmanship of the
nation Is, In law and effect, nothing more
than the presence OF so many corporosities
without voice or discretion, neither their
presence or absence is matter of any
practical consequence.
