fathers fondness for anecdote, and his
knowledge of men and politics was

chosen to give his attention to public af
fairs. Men were attached TO him as to 4
brother. He was thoroughly loyal to i
friendship, courageous in his convic

The bill introduced in the senate on
the nth by Judge Edmunds relative To
the presidential count, provides that the
meeting of the electors shall be held on
the second Monday of January instead
Of the second Wednesday of December,
and that the respective states shall dis
pose of any controversy under their laws
in force at the time of their election. 1t
also provides for later meeting Of the
electors, that in the interim any contro'
versies may be disposed of by the states.
The count then shall be in conformity
with the decisions reached IN the several
states rs TO the votes in controversy.
The practical effect Of the bill would
seem to be TO vest in the states absolute
power Of determining in case Of contest
as TO the electoral vote.
