Electoral College { Queries.

New York Herald.
The Herald has received numerous in.
quiries as to the law governing the cast

and Vice President.
Suppose says one, that a number Of
the Republican electors should die before
the day of meeting We'll. in that case
the vacancies would be filled By the cleo
tors Of the state or states in which the
vacancies occurred. The electoral college
will be full on the day its vote is cast.
Suppose, says, another that Harrison
or Morton should die before the electors
meet. Then the electors would have to
vote for some other man for President or
Vice President
Suppose, asks third, that Harrison or
Morton or both should die after the meet
