her out. Failing to get in by the door
she tried the window. The woman says
Willis knew who was at the window, but

The Choosing of Electors.

The proposition before the Ohio legislature to choose electors by congressional districts instead of from the state at large has attracted general attention. It would give to the Democrats at least fifteen of Ohio's twenty three electoral votes and the Republicans are therefore quick to declare that the law is rev. olutionary and unconstitutional. They argue that It is the business of congress alone to fix the methods of choosing presidential electors and that any other method than the present plan of electing by gener al vote by the people of the state would be wholly illegal.
 A little history on thls question may be interesting as well as in structive. As late as 1860 South Carolina chose it's electors by vote of the legislature and Deleware had the same plan until 1892. A dozen other states elected in the same way at different times. The "Ohio plan" was followed in New York until 1928. Maine, Tennessee and Maryland for years elected by districts as It is now proposed to do in Ohio.
 There was no question in the ear ly days as to the right of state to select their electors in any way as desired and several amendments to the constitution were advocated pro viding for a uniform system of choosing electors. None, however passed.
 We are inclined, however to be- lieve our Ohio brethren will find it better to stick to the general ticket plan, until there is a general adop tion of the district system. And with Cleveland and Cambell as the nominees in 1892 the entire twenty three electoral votes of Ohio should be cast for the democracy.
