this case and it is MATHEMATICAL calcula-
ton: 1t takes 1875 votes to elect a Presi-
dent of the United States in the present
college, counting Colorado. Suppose
there are three candidates at the election.
The Republican candidate gets III undis-
puted votes, and the independent candi-
date "a uudisputed votes which he could
do by getting Illinois and Nevada and Ne
braska, Suppose the Democratic candi
date gets 100 undisputed votes, leaving s
votes, the votes of Louisiana, to determine
whether the Republican candidate was
elected or not Suppose that in Louis
lana there is contested election of great
violence. The Independent candidate is
supposed by one party to be elected; the
Republican candidate is supposed by the
other party to be elected; the Republican
electors get certificate from Governor
kellogg of their election, cast their vote
for the Republican candidate, and that
return comes to the President of the Sen
ate. Suppose the electors on the indie
pendent ticket meet as a college. cast
their votes for the independent candidate,
certify under the Constitution, if there is
no provision for the executive authentica-
lion OF their election, that they have voted
for the Independent candidate. Those re-
turns are opened by the President Of the
Senate. The House honestly believe that
the Independent electors were elected in
Louisiana. The Republicans in the Sen
ate believe that the Republican candidates
we're elected. The House stands by the
Independent organization. the Senate
stands by the Republican election, thus
defeating the election of President, and
throwing it into the House of Represen-
tatives, under the second section of the
bill.
Mr.. Morton,-I think the precise con-
tingency mentioned By the Senator from
Maryland may happen either By the cote
of a State being lost, the taoo houses not
being able to decide, or by being east an td-
cor Of an Independent candidate; but that
as the precise contingency aohich the Con-
stitution has provided for aohen 1t declares
that WnleSs some one person shall hare a
majority Of all the electors appointed the
House shall Immediately proceed to elect
