pensions and private claims. The
other third are old bills which have
been heretofore introduced, and less
than half of the remainder relate to
questions of Presidential disability,
The currency and the tariff. 1t is a
fact worthy of remark that, among
the avalanche Of bills, there is not a
half aozen which embrace any new

The Election ocPresiaent.

Congressman BELTzHoovER, of
Pennsylvania, has, submitted 10 tie
House a new scheme for the election
of President and Vice President, that
is, certainly much fairert to all parties,
and would be more satisfactory than
the present ope. In speaking of it
the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: 1t
provides for an election by popular
vote and at the Sometime preserves
the electoral system. 1t is proposed
that citizens OF each state shall have
the right to vote directly for Presi-
dent and Vice President; that such
votes, shall be returned to q board
constituted of the highest officials in
each state, who shall divide the cleo
toral vote to which each state is en-
titled in the ratio of the popular vote
so cast and returned. Thatis to say:
suppose that in Ohio there should
be cast for the Republican candidate
three hundred and fifty Thousand
votes, and for the Democratic candi-
date three hundred aud twenty-five
thousand votes. Under the existing
plan, there being a majority of Re-
publican votes, the entire electoral
vote of the state would be cast for
the Republican candidate, and the
votes oflthe three hundred and TWEEN
ty-fye Thousand Democrats are prac-
tically lost, since they are unrepre-
sented in the actual vote,-that is
the electoral vote for President-in
any way whatever. According to the
proposed arrangement the votes
would be added and there would be
aatotal of six hundred and seventy
FIVE thousand votes. There are TWEEN
ty two electoral votes. These would
be divided between the two candi
dates in the ratio of the respective
vote of each to the total vote. That
is the Republican candidate would
receiye-redueing the fractions
fourteen twenty-sevenths and the
Democrats thirteen twenty sevenths
of the twenty-five votes, II Is neal
H- ka4F - aaE =H
as it could be got at practically, the
Republicans would have twelve ant
the Democrats ten electoral votes
The fundamental idea, of the plan
and it is certainly. a correct idea, al
respects fairness andsthe equities il
the case-is that the majority of vo
tersi "a the country ought to elect th,
President. audrto this end the elec
toral vote should be made to repre-
sent accurately rs may be the popu
lar vote. Underline existing arrange
ment is does not, and it may result
and does often result that the sue
cessful candidate may have a larg
majority of the electoral vote and a
the same time be in a minority Q
