The Unit Rule.

The New York Herald, which
turned over in favor of Grant imme-
diately after the Springfield conven-
ton, has concluded that the unit rule
is the proper thing. That journal af-
ter the 9th will say:
The arguments against it are plaus-
ible. They would, indeed, be quite
cogent if they did not also strike at
the method Of electing the president
provided by the constitution. If the
president were chosen by the direct
vote of the people of the whole coun.
try without reference to states, as
state governors are chosen by the d.
rect vote of citizens without reference
to counties, the unit rule in national
conventions would be perfectly alb
surd. But the system of presidential
electors established by the cOnstitu-
ton is exposed to the same objections
as the unit rule, which is a natural
Outgrowth of the system. The system
Of presidential electors remaining, it
is perfectly competent for each state,
if its legislature should so provide, to
give the choice of presidential
electors to its separate con-
gressioual districts. If this were the
prevailing method, the argument
against the unit rule would be conclu-
sive, But in point of fact no state APP
points its presidential electors in this
way. In every state they are elected
by general ticket, and congressional
districts are ignored. In the actual
election the vote of each state is cast
as a unit, the minority having no more
voice than if it did not exist. For
illustration, take the state Of Pennsyl-
vania, which in the last presidential
election gave Mr.. Hayes 384,148 and
Mr.. lilden 366,204 votes. Had it not
been for the unit rule by which the
electoral votes Of the state were cast
solid for Mr.. Hayes, he could not
have been elected. ] fthe t~wenty-nine
presidential electors OF Pennsylvania
had been divided between the two
political parties in the ratio of their
strength at the polls, Mr.. Hayes
would have received only fifteen in
stead of the whole twenty-nine, and
Mr.. Tilden would have been presi-
dent since March 4, 1877. With what
consistency do a certain class of re
publicans declaim with so much
violence against the unit rule in nom
nations when the party insists on
having the full advantage of it in
electi0ns2 How Is it any more unjust
to suppress the voice of the minority
and make the vote of a state solid in
the nomination of a candidate than in
the election Of a PRESIDENT In the
last election it was the voice of the
majority that was suppressed. A
quarter of a million more citizens
voted for Mr.. Tilden than for Mr.
Hayes, and yet Nh. Hayes was elected.
The reasoning of the anti-Gran re-
pqblioags respecting the unit rule
would have justified the democratic
party in resisting the Inauguration of
President HAYES.
