Cox of New York then rose and SAD |
that he desired to call the attention OF
the presiding officer to the language OF
law of February Sd, 1887.
The presiding officer said that debate
could only be had by unanimous con-
sent.
Cox replied that he did not desire
debate. He desired to call attention TO
the language Of the law: ION such read

of the Senate shall call for objections, II
any, after the reading.
The certificate from Delaware was
then read, and the presiding ofrcer
asked: is there objection TO the electo.

announced that the electors oi FLORIDA
had cast four votes for Levi 2. Morton
for Vice President. The smile broad
encd into hearty laugh when, few
moments afterwards, Senator Harris, py
a similar error, gave the electora! vote
Of Indiana to Grover Cleveland. 1t was
some time before the laughter died out,
and he was permitted to correct his
error.
The presiding officer then said: The
| Chair fakes occasion to express his con-
fdence that his suggestion that nantes
tations of applause or OF dlsapproDatlonl

After a pause, Senator Manderson
said: The tellers have examined the
different certificates presented to them
and find but one in duplicate that is GER

appears that Benjamin Harrison Of In
diana received three votes for President
and Levi ?. Morton three votes for Vice
President.
There was no objection to the vote
being so counted.

States having been examined by the tel
