some day make trouble for us. If the
Republicans had known week before
the election that the plurality in New
York State would he less than twelve
hundred, they could have luade bargains
TO Offset it, If only two electors at large
depended on the bargaining the game
would uut be woitl, the risk of detec-
ton. There will always be good deal
Of cheating sotong asso much is ut stake ;
and we have ample proof OF Our danger
at every Presidential election
And why might we not advauta-
ge0usly abolish the cumbFuus machine.
ry Of The electoral colleges I? Every one
knew, as soon as the result in the sew
eral States had been determined off,
cially, who would be elected by The COL
leges, unless they should be guilty of an
independence never yet manifested by
them. Why might not the official votes
be certified to Congress by the State Of
hcials without the interE Eention of the
colleges 1t can scarcely be objected
that the State officials could falsify the
returns, for their power to falsify would
not be increased. They now certify the
result, and the electors certified are
commissioned. But why should it not
be as easy to count the votes at Wash
ington without the aid of the electors
What practical difference would it make
if the Vice President would announce
the popular vote of Louisiana to be SO
much, of which Cleveland received SO
much, instead of announcing an electo-
raj vote which Is nothing but method
of formulating the popular vote?

The Electoral College.
n. o. Picasune.l

Probably good many people thinh
that Grover Cleveland was elected Pres.
ident and Thomas a. Hendricks Vice
President of the United States on the
Tuesday after the first Monday In No,
vember but that is all a mistake. They
were elected Wednesday by the eleeto-
raj colleges, and there is nothing in the
constitution or laws either of the Unit
ed States or of any State which could
have prevented the four hundred and
one gentlemen composing those colleges
from electlng Grover Cleveland Presi.
dent aud Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice
President, or from electing any natural
born citizen of the United States thirty
FIVE years old and fourteen years resi-
dent of the United States to either Of
said Offices. Take it altogether, it is a
queer way we have Of doing the busi-
ness, and a wonder about ii is that we
do not fight about it, If not every fourth
year, at least on occasion of every close
election. The country has been severe-
II shaken up over the matter on three
several occasions LIN 1900, when Thos.
jefferson and Aaron Burr each received
73 electoral votes; in 1924, when An
drew jackson fell short of q majority
and the House of Representatives chose
John Quincy Adams, and in 1876, when
the electoral votes of Louisiana were
given to Rutherford B. Hayes By fraud.
There are q great number of questions
connected with the method OF Presiden
tial elections deserving serious consid-
Grafton. That amendment is practica-
Bile is certain; the thing necessary is to
arrive at u general agreement on the
form which that amendment shall take.
Amongst the propositions now mooted is
one for the abolition of the general elec-
toral tickets. There is no good reason
why plurality of Il49 in total vote
Of /, ,I67 ,l69 should giye the Sc electoral
votes Of New York TO one candidate. II
the electors were chosen by single dis.
frictB the opportunities for fraud would
be,yastly reduced without affecting the
general result. We have elected q ma
iority of about 43 to Congress, and T we
had chosen the electors by single DIS
tricts thera is no reason to suppose That
tl1s result would have varied much. nc
electoral majority of Cleveland and
Hendricks i'd 81, d little less than the
Demoeratic Congressional majority but
if We had, as is proposed BIZ sope, cno'
sen the electors for the several StaTes
ID large on general tickets, and the cleo
tors for the Congressional districts on
district tickets, as we carried twenty
States on the popular vote, We Woulo
have obtained forty electoral votes q
large, against thirty six for the Repub.
leans, which would have made sDui
electoral najority AZ
The speciai opportunities for frauo
offered by risking the whoie eleetora!
vote of q state on single ticket VII
