President and vice-president Ele cted

The electors of each State met on Tues
day to give their votes for President and
Vlce-President, the persons elected, it is
needless to say, being Benjamin Harrison,
of Indiana, and Levi P. Morton, of New
York. There is, it appears, 10 con,rover-
sy in any S'ate as to the choice of any
elector, SO that the task of the Senate and
House in counting the votes will be plain
and easy. The executive of each State was
required by law as soon as practicable
after the election to make out in triplicate
certificates giving the names Of the elec-
tors chosen in his State, together with
the number Of votes received by each, one
of which certificates was to be given to
each elector and one to district judge Of
each State. Secretary Bayard was requir-
cd to publish these certificates as soon as
received, and transmit copies to the two
houses Of Congress. Provision is thus
made against any smothering of returns
or secrecy with . view to fraud. re-
cent law provides that these certificates
and the lists of votes for President and
Vice President shall be forwarded to the
President of the Senate forthwith after
the second Monday in January" II
should happen that certificate of votes
from any State has not been received at
Washington on the fourth Monday of
January the Secretary of State is required
to send especial messenger" to the dis
trict Judge in whose custody one certifi-
cate of the votes of that State has been
lodged. The counting of the electoral
votes will take place on the second Wed.
nesday in February, the Senate and House
mesting in the hall Of the House of Repre-
sentatives for the purpose. The President
Of the Senate will preside, and will an
nounce the state of the vote as determined
by the two houses

The Next Legislature.

BY far the most important duty to be
considered by the Denocrats throughout
the State this year is the election of the
Legislature which will assemble in 1890.
Warned by their decreased majority last
fall, the Democrats are fully alive to The
necessity of redoubling their efforts to
capture both branches. 10 fact, had the
election last November been for members
of the Legislature, and with no local in
fuences entering it. the House would have
stood about 81 democrats to 40 repubi-
cans, a good working majority. but too
small supremacy; and had al the Sena-
tors been elected at the same time, only
fourteen of them would have been demo
cra's and the remaining twelve republi-
caus, q constitutional majority for the
former. In the last House there were ONLY
nineteen republicans, and in the Senate
there were only four republican members.
The democrats recognize the urgent ne
cessity of concentrated action to retain
control, and the policy has already been
ansounced that only the most prominent
and representative citizens will be con-
sidered by the leaders as candidates in
both cities and counties. What the re-
publicans will do can only be inferred
The oyster question promises to be an iu
portsnt ore in the tidewater counties, and
in the lower wards OF the city New as
sessment laws are said to be needed, and
this question will receive proper attention,
as a joiot resolution was passed by the
last Legislature requesting Tax Commits
sioner Woolferd to formulate some law
that will meet the exigencies of the case.
1t has been limited that the entire State
will be redistric,ed so as to gain a solid
democratic delegation and requiring that
one Congressman of the six be elected at
large. This has been done in Penn-
sylvania.
