POLITICS IN A MIDDLE.
An Interesting Enigma About
the New Electoral College.
wHO1sTHEGovERNOR OF VERMONT


National Committeeman Smnllcy Says the
Prohibitionist Candidate In the Recent
Election Was the Only One Eligible and
Can BE Declared TO Have Been Elected.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-William Walker
in letter to the Washington Post, raises
question in connection with the approach.
ing election that may be of Importance, as
it certainly is of interest Referring to the
generally accepted theory that the electoral
college of 1892 Will contain 44i votes, Mr.
Walker says;
Paragraph 2, section 1, article Of the
constitution is as follows;
" Each state shall appoint in such man
ner as the legislature thereof shall deter
mine a number OF electors equal TO the
whole number OF senators and representa-
tives to which the state may be entitled in
the congress.
(which congress does this refer tof Is tho
question. Is it the one in existence or
one IN the futuref The Fifty-third con-
gress, upon which is based the 4d4 cleo
torai votes, cannot exist until after the
next president and vice president shall
have been elected. If the membership Of
the Fifty-seeond congress shall decide the
election in case there should not be an cleo
ton by the electoral college, and not the
Fifty-third congress, why is it that an cleo
toral college based on the new apportion-
ment under which the Fifty-third congress
is to be elected is to decide the electiong
Each political party seems to be acting
upon the same premises taken by you, but
would it not be wise 10 consider this ques-
lion in time TO avoid what might eyentu-

date for the position who Is eligible II the
conclusions OF both Chairman Carter, Of the

THE fact Is, said Mr. 6malley, ''that
