Here are few facts about Presiden-
tial elections. Washington and John
Adams were elected by electors chosen
by state legislatures. Thomas Jeif'er-
son was elected in 1900 by the House
of Representatives over Aaron Burr and
John Adams. John Quincy Adams was
elected President in the same way in
1924. These are the only two instances
in the history of the government where
Presidents have been elected by the
House of Representatives. There have
been five minority Presidents, s." SO far
as the popular vote has been concerned,
viz John Quincy Adams, in 1924 +;
James II. Polk, in 1874 Zacnry lay
lor, 1S4s; James Buchanan, il 1856 !;
and Abraham Lincoln, in 1860. In 49,
"a there were four candidates in the
field. Q. Adams, Andrew Jackson,
w. Fl. Crawford and Henry Clay. Adj
ans received 1O5,321 votes, ,Iackso n
l55,S72, and the other two candidates
combined, about 100000. In 1914
Polk received 1887, 243 against ,36l,-
$50 votes for Clay. In lS4s Taylor
received 100000 against 500, 900 for
Cass and Van Buren,. In 1856 b.
chauan received 1888, l69 against 3
2l5,79S votes cast for Fremont and 9TH
ers. In 1860 Lincoln received 1885,
$50 against 2,Sl0,501 votes cast for
Douglass and Breckenridge.

its fight to Heaven. She was very

@- The ELECTORAL SYsTEM-Th

N- The ELECTORAL SYsTEM.-The
recent presidential election has develop
ed the urgent necessity Of a change IN
the mode OF electing the executive OF
the nation The present system is cum
bersome and has already outlived It's
usefulness. 1t is a relic Of the earlier
days of the Republic, which time has
demonstrated may be set aside with de-
cided advantage to the nation. If the
people are competent to vote tor cleo
tors they are competent TO vote for the
President direct. The present anamo-
ious condition of affairs could not have
occurred had the people voted directly
for President, Cor there is not the slight
est probability that a contest for the
executive office would ever be narrowed
down TO the extent it has been under
the electoral system, lad the people
cast their ballots directly for President
aud Vice President. AS the case now
stands there seems 10 be some danger
that the will of the majority may be
thwarted by the operations of a bit OF
political machinery, which both time
and common sense have shown TO be at
variance with the spirit of our institu-
lions and the best interests and welfare
of the nation. The peace of the coun-
try demands change in this regard,
beside the necessity of providing means
for preventing such contrivances as
"canvassing boards" defeating the ex-
pressed will of the nation by glaring
and transparent frauds in out Of the way
districts in far away States,

BaySoME CoMroRr-It is some comfort
to know that whatever may be the up
shot of the present political imbroglio,
many who have been prominent in keep
ing up the excitement ard ill-feeling be-
tween the sections, will be relegated to
private life, if not TO ignominious con-
fnement in States prisons. The mass
es of the people are weary of rascality
in high places, and have determined
that whatever may come venality and
corruption shall be the exception, and
not the rule.
