THE presidential-count bill, which has
passed the Senate, provides for deter
mination of all classes of contests over
presidential electors but one, and that is
the one lraught with most danger. 1t is

the elections of electors. But what tribu-
nal shall determine which of two con-
tending governments is the State? The
ground is porilous, but the subject ought
to be discussed, and some tribunal pro-
vided for even that case.
