THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
Points Of Difference between Rspuhiicsu ana
Democratic Committeemsn.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE statement
telegrapned hence that the Senate Committee
on Counting the Electoral Vote had agreed upon
bill and sent II to the House committee ap-
pointed to confer with them Is not true. The
Senate committee has not agreed upon any plan
yet, although there 10 q reasonable hope that an
agreement will be reached in few days. The
point Of difference between the Democratic and
Republican members seems to be this: Whether
It requires the concurrent action OF both
Houses to reject or count the vote Of
State. The Republicans contend that
In the event Of a disputed return
from . State II cannot be rejected with
out both Houses concur. The Democrats, on
the other hand. insist that II one House objects
the vote cannot be counted. They point to the
action Of the two Houses in 1893 on the vote Of
Georgia. The House voted to reject the vote OF
that state, and the Senate voted to count IL
the action had been taken by the two bodies In
their separate capacities, the vote of Georgia
Missouri was counted in ISL. This action was as
equivalent, IL Ia claimed. to rejection OF the
vote & Of Georgia on the dissent Of the e, House.
Der OF either the Senate or House Committees
on Counting the Electoral Vote, except Senator
Morton, contends that the President Of the Sen
ate has the power to count. and that the two
Houses are mere spectators. The utmost that
the House Com mlttee Is that in the event OF the
two Houses disssreeine about the counting Of
the vote OF State, then the Presi-
dent Of the Senate has the right to
settle the dispute by ordering 1t to be
counted. THIS 10 not strenuously contsoded
for, however. The Republicans seem to be dis
posed to rest their case on the theory that there
must be concurrent action to reject. II Is GER
tain, however. that at least one Republican
member OF the House committee does not agree
to this and that he will unite with his Demo-
cratic colleagues In holding that In the cases Of
Florida and Louisiana the concurrent action Of
the two Houses must be had before either one
OF the two returns from each Of these States can
be accepted.
The House Committee on tho Privileges, Pow
ers. and Duties Of the House of Representa-
ttves IN counting the electoral vote, held a long
session to night, and finished their report on
that subject. Their conclusions are:
Flrst-Tnat the power to count the electoral vote Ia
not conferred by the Constitution upon the Pr siden
OF the Senate.
secondThat this power is conferred by the Consti.
tuition upon the senate aud House Of Representative
1hitd-That In the execution Of the power to count
the electoral vote the House Of Represent yes n, At
lesst. coordinate and ecu | with the Senate

can pr counted AGAINST the judgment aud without the
assent Of the House.
These propositions we're agreed to by a strict
party vote.
