Choosing a President.

It is a grand spectacle to witness
the movement of the people of the
United States once in four years when
thew come to elect President. Sixty
millions OF people men, women, and
childrcn-are so deeply interested IN
this election that they cannot but talk
about it wherever they may be.
And yet there are some features OF
our presidential election laws or success
sion laws which are not in proper con-
dition. If the Presidential should
die or become incapacitated between
the meeting Of the electoral colleges and
the 4th of March there might be trou-
bic. Again Mr.. GREELEY died after the
popular presidential election of 1872 had
occurred, but before the electors had
met TO cast their votes. The electoral
colleges were not at all embarrassed 10y
his death, seeing that General GRANr
had been elected President by the peo-
pie. The GRANT electors voted for
GRANT, and he was elected. But sup
pose GREELEY had had n majority Of the
votes Of the electoral colleges
Once more {: 1t has been contended
that the electors having met in their
respective States and cast their votes are
Juactus o6icio; that they no longer have
any official existence. Is this conten-
ton well founded? If so, this is a caSaS
omiSsuS which might be provided for
by law, we suppose.
In 1889 Mr.. INGALLS, held that the
Texas certificate was invalidated for
some reason. 1t was some mere for
mality. We think. And as the throwing
out Of the vote of Texas would not
change the result OF the presidential
election there was little said about the
matter.
But most important question might
arise under the Michigan law districting
that State for the choice Of electors of
President and Vice-President. The
Constitution OF the United States oro-
vides that in each State the electors shall
be chosen as provided by the law OF the
State. The other States will all cast
solid vote for one candidate or the other,
whilst Michigan may possibly-nay, it is
said, will probably-elect several Demo
cratic electors. Thus the change of the
mode of electing the electors in a single
State may cause a Democratic President
to be elected. whereas If Michigan
voted solidly for HARRISON (say) he
would he elected President. LINCOLN
was elected President in 1861 by the
electoral colleges, though DOUGLAS
and BELL and BREcKISRIDGE had
together received ], 100000 majority of
the popular vote.
Congress is now in session. Why not
look into these matters

The new railroad which telegram in

CAMDEN, a West Virginia millionaire,
intends soon to construct in that State

our readers. That region is indeed in
calculably rich in timber and IN coal. In

CITY is about 375 miles from Richmond

Surely Richmond ought to have a road
leading directly to Pittsburg, or nearly
so. Freight obtained along the line Of
this projected new road ought to have
an inclination to take the Richmond
rather than the Pittsburg end of it.
These are West Virginia schemes, all of
which will some day add greatly to the
wealth, population. and business OF this

Daniel and Conrad

There were intellectual giants in the
convention of Thursday.
Two of them were JOHN W. DANIEL
and HOLMES CONRAD, and their debate
on the silver plank in the platform was
one OF the chief features Of the proceed
ings OF the body.
Mr.. CONRAD looked upon the reafiirma-
ton of the platform adopted by us IN
1889 as o covert introduction OF the free
coinage question, and this he thought
and said was not fair to the CLEVELAND
men and not in consonance with the
compromise agreed upon by the Hull
and CLEVELAND factions. He insisted
that the convention ought to be silent
on the subject, and to secure that silence
he wished the platform recommitted to
the Committee on Resolutions, there TO
sleep the sleep of death. Later another
delegate put the question in better shape
by moving as q substitute that all that
related to the currency question be
stricken from the platform.
Senator DANIEL saw nothing covert
in the platform. He treated /. as a
free-silver platform and made his argu-
ment boldly. straightforwardly, in ad-
vocacy OF it as a freesilyer platform,
and he showed that the position it took
had long been the position Of the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia and in ma
iority Of the States Of this Union.
The votes taken showed that the con-
vention was overwhelmingly with him.
Both of the motions that were made
were voted down at the close OF the
Senator's speech, and then the platform
was adopted almost unanimously.
The speeches of DANIEL and CONRAD
were both fine efforts. The appearance
OF the men was commanding and their
eloquence was electrical. 1t was an
oratorical joust which held the close at
tention Of the vast audience, though
the hour was very late and the con-
tinous sessions had greatly tired oat the
delegates. Looking down from the
platform upon the faces OF tho 1920 or
1900 delegates, nearly every eye was
seen to be fixed upon the speakers.
Though Mr.. CONRAD was unable to
convince the convention--though his
proposition was overwhelmingly de-
feated-he added to his great and de-
served reputation as an orator. As for
Mr.. DANIEL. he swsyed the convention
from the time that it opened until it
closed whenever he had a motion to
make or suggestion TO offer.
1t Is exceedingly fortunate that Mr..
CONRAD uttered his objections 10 and
made his fight upon the currency plank
Of the platform. Had there been no
discussion OF the subject In the conven-
ton it might subsequently have been
SAID by sope--never by Mr.. CosRAp--
that the introduction Of the coinage

Whom Senator Daniel credited Senator Hill
with the defeat Of the force bill he stepped on
the soft corn Of the German BOOM Washington
Post.
Senator HILL's success in securing the
reapportionment of representatives in
Congress and the New York State Legis-
lature may have saved the United States
Senate from being Republican body
next year, and has almost insured that
the next national House OF Representa-
tives shall not be Republican body. 1t
has also freed the State of New York
from Republican rule. In fact, nobody
can over-estima.e the value of Mr..
Hn.L's services to his country.
All the same, we accord tho same
need Of praise to Senator GoRMAN for
defeating the force bill last year. Let
every man have his due. GoRMAS
killed the old force bill and HUI killed
the prospective one.

not have adopted it had II known what 1t
was about All OF this might have
been said by ill-natured persons.
As it is. the full intent and
scope Of the platform was brought out
in the discussion and the convention APP

majority that the "aycs" for Mr. Con-
RAIDS motion we're no moro to be COM

The Virginia Compromise.

We benrl well-informed "politi-
clan" say yesterday that II the HILL
men had not agreed to the proposed
compromise they would have Lad four-
teen out Of vrginia's twenty-four dele
gates TO the Democratic convention.
III that belongs TO the past. We are
satisfied with the compromise, yet We
trust that nobody will consider it wrong
for ne 10 correct the following paragraph
which appears in the Washington Post
of Yesterday:
ain Vir,inia there was another struggle. In
this grat, Nr. Hill had the earnest ana untirlhg
support q Senators Daniel aud Bnrbour ana
many o.her influential Democais. but In the
state convention the friends of the ex-Prosiient
were In q large majority and could have carried

opponents were generously allowed to go as
delegates at lasre."
Large majority 1.-TWO OF Mr..
CLrvELAND's opponents were generously
allowed to go as delegates at large
II We Thought the Hill men had a two
thirds majority in the convention we
should not boast of it after coIpro-
mise had been effected. The Post may
rest assured that both sides acted wisely.
CLEVELAND men as well as HILL men did
their duty as patriots.
The Post may be surprised to learn
that this grand CLEVELAND convention
by laundering majority declared
itself in favor Of the free coinage OF 81
YER Certainly there can be no DOUBT
that the siIverites had a two-thlrds or
perhaps nine-tenths majority IN the Nir-
GINA convention. The question was
discussed before the convention, and
that body declared for free coinage by a
majority which astonished It's own mem
bers. Here is the resolution as 1t was
passed in 1889 and reaffirmed in lS92;

convention.

The Ma0nanimity of the Compromise
We accord equal magnanlmlty to the
CLEVELAND and the HILL men IN ar
ranging and accepting the compromise
bv which the four delegates to Chicago
for the State at large were divided two
and two between the contending fac
tons.
Each side figured on a large majority
of delegates in the State convention /;
each believed that it could win. aud it
follows that they were equally mag
unanimous in choosing peaceable settle
ment and fair division of "the Big
-Four"
Not acting upon any plan OF COM
promise, but each side doing its "level
lost" to win, the resentatiyes OF the
ten congressional districts in their dis
trict conferences here chose ten CLrvE-
LAND and ten anti CLEVELAND men. That
is to say. the CLEVELAND men carried the
First. Seventh. Ninth, and Tenth Dis
tricts the other side carried land by
large maiorities) the Second, Fourth,
Fifth, and Sixth and in the Third and
Eighth Districts the CLEVELAND and
anti CLEVELAND men each got one dele
gate for each district.
We cannot concede any more magma
nimity to the CLEVELAND men than to
the anti CLEVELAND men. But the COM
promise was good thing. All honor to
the gentlemen who engineered it; all
honor to those who ratified it. Who can
doubt that it will be of vast benefit to
the party in Virginia And we may well
believe that it may prove beneficial to
the party throughout the Union.
