Elect by a Popular Vote.

1t is good sign to see prominent
Republican newspapers advocating a
change in the method Of electing a
President of the United States. The
electoral college system which was
adopted by the founders of the govern
ment is a cumbersome arrangement
and does not at all reflect the public
will 1t is common delusion that in
this country a majority of the people
determine who shall rule. This may
be true of the lesser Offices but as far
as the Office of President is concerned
the very reverse is generally the case.
During the past twenty years of the
three Republican Presidents who have
been inducted into Office but one had
majority of the popular vote and that
majority was small one. In 1875
Tilden had a majority Of 100000 over
Hayes, yet the latter was seated. In
1888, again, Cleveland had popular
majority Of o7.SS3 over Harrison.
Garfield in 1880 had a majority of
1913 hver Hancock, and Cleveland's
majority over Blaine in 1884 was o.
6S3. Thus it will be seen that but
twice during the past twenty years was
the will of the people respected in
the selection of President.
1t is time that change be made.
If it be desired to continue the elect
oral college system the manner of
choosing the electors should be
changed. Instead of all the electors
for State being elected on one ticket
they should be chosen by districts the
same as congressman are elected. In
this way the will Of the people would
be more nearly respected. But it
would be better to do away entirely
with the electoral college and elect a
President by the popular vote This
plan has everything to recommend it.
The majority then would rule and the
"pivotal state idea would be done
away with SO that there would be much
less occasion for bribery and fraud,
and the campaign would be fought on
principles. --PdtriOt.

wilderness, there is the beautiful land
scape, dotted with substantial homes
furnished with all the modern para
phernalia essential to the convent
ence, comfort and happiness Of those
whose efforts were crowded with sue
cess in the transformation of the wild
erness to the highly cultiv ated and i'm
proved condition of the country at
present time. But there is something
sad in the contemplation of the mar
velous changes in their different phases
as they progressed hitherto. Have
they brought with them the pioneer and
early settler2 Have they carried with
them in the fight Of years the ancient
landmarks that outlined the progress
OIL the stage of human action? Nay,
their successors took up their unhnish-
ed work, and those only who, are old
enough have their pictures hanging
on memory's wall" 1t is with sadness
when we reflect what hardships they
encountered, what privations they en-
dured, the circumstances in which they
were placed. In love for their posterity
availing themselves of every oppor-
tunity, they fitted and prepared them
for future usefulness, that they might
forge the distinctive and important
link that unites them in the line of the
great chain OF generations. Our
fathers fell in the bait of life at their
post of duty, and the struggle tillgoes
on, and thousands more are falling by
the way, in the onward march Of
human events, and each succeeding
generation marks an epoch in the
worlds history, and as distinctly as
their predecessors, in the onward pro.
gression to the final haven of the ulti-
mate destiny Of man.
