Duty Of the Legislature.

Tho Louisiana Legislature convened last |

The System Of Nominating Presi-
dents.

Says the Philadelphia Times:
The present system Of nominating the
President is by no means aged. At first
there were no formal nominations. Per-
SONS were voted for by general consent.
This was true of Washington and of ohm
Adams, though i'll 1897, when the latter was
chosen President, some intrigners within
his own party, headed by Alexander
Hamilton, nearly succeeded III defeating
him by divertinS electoral votes to the
nominal candidate OF tho Federalists for
Vice President. Then Il system OF non,ina-
ton by state Legislatures came into play.
Jefferson was nominated for II third term
by the Legislatures of three New England
States. But this was soon superseded b..
nominations made by 4 caucus Of Congress-
men. The latter system prevailed in turn
until 1854. Tho caucus of that year nomi-
mated William II. Crawford of Georgia, one
Of the forgotten worthless OF our past.
Meanwhile nomination by State Legisia-
lures had been resorted to in tho case OF
Adams, jackson and Clay. Crawford was
beaten by both the former, and this was
the end of the Congressional caucus sys-
TEN of nomination. The first regular
national commandments rather the frs,
two--net in lstn. Both parties, Wing and
Democratic. adopted the custom at the
same time.
