PLAYING A DESPERATE GAME.

We referred, heretofore, to the scheme
that has been mooted in New York, OF
capturing the presidency by returning
10 the obsolete system OF choosing elect
ors through the Legislature. We spoke
then of the possibility OF the Legislature,
which is Republican, resorting to such a
measure, not supposing that the proba-
biiity was very strong OF their undertak-
ing so desperate measure. The Sun,
however, refers to it now as matter
that is being urged with some serious
ness on the part OF the stalwarts. 1t
saws:
Some leading Republicans in this
| State, who fear tie result OF the PTeSl-
| Dental contest at the ballot boxes next
wear, are contemplating an immediate
/ change in the mode Of appointing elect
Ors of President and Nice-President
| The Constitution provides that each
/ State shall appoint It's electors in such
/ manner rs its Legislature may direct
/ Down 10 about 1920 the Legislatures in
/ all the States chose the electors. Thence
forward State after State conferred the
power directly upon the people through
| the ballot boxes. South Carolina All
hered to the old mode down to the close
/ OF the civil war.
New York chung to the ancient sys-
/ tenn till after the Presidential contest OF
| 1924. At the close of a bitter struggle,
which temporarily Frustrated the
Democratic party in the State, the
method was adopted OF choosing the
electors by Congress districts, each dis
/ trict to choose one eleCtOr and the whole
| body 10 then meet and choose the two
| Senatorial electors. The only Presiden-
| tial contest under that system in this
| State was that of 1898, when General
| Jackson secured twenty electors and
| John Quincy Adams sixteen. In 1879
| the Legislature adopted the general
ticket method, which has since pre-
vailed.
Those Republicans who now contem-
plate change fear that the State can
not bc carried by their party next tall;
and they propose TO secure a portion,
and perhaps majority, OF the electors
bv adopting the Congress district
system Of 1928, while some advocate the
| extreme measure OF returning to the old
method OF appointment by the Legisla-
turc, whereby. for this once at least,
they could give the Republican candi-
| dates tor President and Vice President
the whole 3 votes of the State.
1t is i'm the power OF the incoming
| Legislature TO adopt either of these
modes if it sees fit; and the Legislature
overwhelmingly Republican in both
| branches. Those who urge the taking
OF this bold step look at the subject from
the two standpoints of present success
and the next census. They say that the
measure would certainly secure them
the Presidency now, and that the appOr-
| tionment under the census OF 1880, by
stripping the South Of One-third OF its
power, would make everything sure in
the future.
Such is the scheme in contemplation.
Perhaps the Legislature will carry it
through; and perhaps not.

RAILROAD TO PARKERsBURG

RAILROAD TO PARKERsBURG.
The adjourned meeting OF the corpo-
rators of the new line Of railroad be-
tween Wheeling and Parkersburg held
in this city, last Saturday, was attended
bt all the members Of the corporation,
and by quite large number of gentle
men from this city, Parkersburg, and
al0ug the proposed line. 1t WAS the
sense OF those present that the road
could be built and that ITS stock would
undoubtedly be paying stock. From
the spirit manifested on Saturday, we
are confident this road will be built.
The pros and cons We're calmly and in
tclligpntly discussed, and the gravity of
the undertaking was felt and recognized
Vet. with all the facts before them,
the gentlemen present felt no hesitancy
i'm coming to the conclusion that the
means could be raised to build the road;
and that, when once built, il would pay
the stockholders, as well rs the country
through which it would pass.
II will have the advantage of being a
loca, road through a hundred miles Of
thickly settled and productive territory;
twill be link in q through line be-
tween the most populous and wealthy
city oi the State and the Capital Of the
Commonwcalth-paSsing through the
second mos, important city Of the State;
and az the same time, 10 will be link
I'm a line of road between Wheeling
ami Cincinnati. several miles
shorter than the route by
way Of the F., c. * 81. Louis railway
and but little longer than by way Of
the b. * q. through Columbus. II will
be IN important link i'm a direct line OF
railway hctween Wheeling and the rich
iron regions of southwestern Virginia.

important oil ccutcrS. and il viii give

NATIONAL BANK RESERVE.

Another and quite important financial
movement was made in the House on
Friday.
Under the National Banking law the
National Banks of the leading cities OF
the country are required to have on
hand at all times twenty-five per cent.
Of the aggregate amount OF their circu-
lation and deposits, in greenbacks. This
is their lawful money reserve" The
Committee on Banking and Currency OF
the House have directed lis chairman to
report for passage an important mod
ifcation OF this law, requiring one
half OF this lawful money reserve
to be in gold or silver coin,
and also providing that neither Custom
House certificates or other balances SHALL
be counted as any part OF this coin re-
serve. The main object Of the bill Is to
effect the distribution throughout the
country OF portion OF the coin that has
accumulated in the United states treas
urv. and incidentally release CORE
spending amount Of the grccnbacks kept
bv the banks as part OF their reserve.
The bin seems to have been approved
bv the committee without opposition,
and its becoming a law may be counted
on. Ii will relieve the treasury SOME
what of the pressure of the dollar OF the
fathers, of which Mr.. SHERMAN COM
plains.

Mr.. Sherman says that he does not
agree with the President that the amount
OF the greenback circulation be now re-
duced. No more would Mr.. Hayes he
in favor of it if he was n candidate for
the Presidency, as Mr.. Sherman is. He
would waive all that in Difference to a
healthy public sentiment in the West.
Mr.. Sherman will soon find it convenient
