with that very duty. 1t says he
shall make up his ballot in a
certain way. and you shall see that he
does make it up in that way. So that it is
joint comforting of the poweru upon the
secretary of state and the Judiciary: the
executive is merely the hand to do it
and the Judiciary is the head that directs
that hand and sees that it is done cor
rectly.
What Might Happen.
Suppose, by way of Illustration and
argument mot implying that he would, in
fact. do anything of the kind, he should
distinctly say. Il will not put the Re-
publican electoral college on the ticket
at all; will leave it off, and fhe court,
upon an application being made to it
on, that there had been an error in the
makeup of the ticket, yet should refuse
to remedy it, he could then d-
rectly, by virtue of that law,
under the peculiar construction that
the court is asked here TO
put upon it, actually disfranchise an
entire class of voters and yitiate the
whole state election. We claim that. by
reason of this peculiar method of group
ing. this very result will be produced; :;
there can be no question that the group
ing of these presidential electors upon
the ticket in the manner in which the
secretary has done it will necessarily
disfranchlSe ten on twenty thousand
voters i'll this state. Therefore it is
only question of degree. The offense
or error is nearly as great Gt is only a
question of degree) as if he had refused
to put them on at all; because, if he
puts them on in manner that embar-
ra;s ses the ticket, and may and probably
Will result i'll DISTINGUISHING the party.
1t is no greater error than If he should
attempt to say directly it shall not vote
for its presidential electors because he
will not put them on at all.
Therefore we say this is entirely a
different question from any question
that has ever been raised under any of
those decisions. The constitution op-
crates directly upon the franchise This
act is passed, in pursuance of the con-
stitutlon, to regulate the method of eX-
ercising that franchise. This act simply
says. as part of the machinery, that
the secretary of state shall make up the
white ticket. i'll conjunction with the
Judiciary, who shall supervise and see
that it is done correctly. 1t seems to
me. your hOnorS, that that is entirely a
distinct question from any question that
has ever been raised by any of these
cases (MinnesOta deciSionS). They all
relate to printing and variety of
things that have nothing to do with the
constitution. Therefore we claim that
we distinguish this from any of these
cases that have been decided by the
supreme court.

the affective dispensation which detains

in case that the latter cared to make

prepare another speech. But Mr.. Blaine
did not see why lie should write any

Il am in New York waiting for Mrs.

night or tomorrow. Soon after her ar

all the politics there is in my visit to

MINER LAW UPHELD.
Decision in the Michigan
Cases by the United States
Supreme Court.
The Decision Of the Supreme
Court OF the State Up
held.
No Limit to the Mode Of
Choosing Electors by the
States.
This Decision Insures Grover
Part Of Miehigan's Elee-
toral Vote.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE United
States supreme court. by Chief Justice
Fuller, today affirmed the judgment of
the Michigan supreme court. upholdlng
the conStitutionality of the Miner law
providing for the election of presiden-
tial electors by congressional districts
instead of by the state as whole. The
court holds that the amendment did not
limit the right of a state to fix mode
of choosing electors. The conceded
effect of the decision IS to give part at
least of the electoral vote to Cleveland.
The following is the full text of the
opinion:
No. 1170-McPherson ct al. VS.. Black
er. secretary of state. In error to the
supreme court of Michigan. We are of
the opinion that the objections to Act
No. 30 of the public laws of Michigan
of 1891, based upon matters of local law,
having been ruled by the supreme court
of Michigan adversely to plaintiffs in
error, whose conclusions in that regard
we are not authorized to revsie, the
decision Of the federal questions in
VOWED was necessary, and the validity
of the law as repugnant to the conStItu
ton and laws of the United States hav-
ing been drawn in question decided. and
the decision being i'll favor of its valid
ity, this court has jurisdiction under
section 709 of the Revised Statutes.
The Judicial power of the United States
extends to all cases of
Law and Equity
arising under the constitution and laws
of the United States. and this is a case
SO arising. for the reason just stated.
I'VE concur with the supreme court
of Michigan that SO far as Act No. so
conflicts with the act of congress of
Feb. 3, 1887 in the particulars pointed
out, and in respect of which congress
possesses the power to legislate, is mop
erative only 10 that extent; but that the
act is not for that reason void, and may
stand as so modified.
1--WE also hold, with that court, that,
in view of the language of the second
clause of the first section of article 2 of
the constitution, and the cOntempo-
raneouS and subsequent construction of
that language i'll practice, the act CAN
not now be held invalid for want of
power in the state legislature to provide
for the appointment of electors for pres
ident and vice president of the United
States as therein prescribed, and we are
clear that that clause of the first section
of article has not been changed by the
fourteenth amendment to the cOnStitu-
ton. and that this act is not obnoxious
to objection on the ground of conflict
with that amendment.
1--WE make this announcement at this
time because of an eXigency suggested
as apparently requiring immediate
action under the state statutes. and will
hereafter file an opinion stating fully
the grounds of this decision The
judgment OF the supreme court of Mich
igan is affirmed and the mandate will

MIR. o'BRIEN's ARGUMENT.
Reasons Why the Court Should
Express Its Views.


Express Its Views.
c. ID. OBren addressed the court at
the conclusion of Judge. Flandrau's
remarks, taking the ground that
this application does not come
within the constitutional prohibi-
tiOn. The matters in which the
supreme court has spoken were matters
in which the acts to be done were con-
fided either to the executive officer, by
virtue of his Office, or were subsequently
placed upon him: but the act was To be
done by him, and by. him alone. and
within the purview of his discretion. as
we'll as of his immediate act 1t can we'll
be said that it is the true policy of the
law to repoSe much confidence in an eX-
ecutive officer (there can be no doubt OF
that, and such were the decisions of the
supreme court. They said that no pro-
ceeding in the nature of coercion or con-
troll could be used against all executive
officer; but they spoke in reference to
the law as 1t then existed, and. as Judge
Flandrau has well said, where Joint
duty is imposed upon an executive officer
and the Judiciary or judicial officer, as
i'll this case, they shall under those cir
cumStanceS not be heard to say that the
old line of decisions as to the immunity
Of the executive officer from the control
of the Judiciary shall also apply. if
having. in this particular instance, the
effect of depriving the judiciary of the
opportunity to perform its duty.
Now. 1t seems to me. when the policy
of the state of Minnesota withdrew
from the individual electOr the right to
make his own ticket: when it withdrew
from the individual elector the right to
select his own ticket in the form and
shape that he wanted it himself, in the
exercise of his elective franchise, and
proposed to put in his hands, in
pared by other persons; and when it
went step further, and put the pep
aration of that official ballot within the
control of a special officer. whether he be
an executive officer or not, las in this case
he happens to be, it seems to me it was
well thought of that in the very act
providing for that proceeding, "a trl-
bunal should be created or referred to,
or another and additional judgment
should be called in to supervise what
Might Perchance BE an Error
OF party in the making up of the
ticket, because not only public but pri-
vate rights are involved in it, and be-
cause, while in this case we are met by
what is termed a constitutional prohi-
btion, vet. as to all the county officers
of this state, as to how the county au-
ditor and the other officers who are not
executive officers of the state perform
their duties, there is no question about
the ample rights that are intended.
And so say that this is joint power,
and ii was only conferred upon the Sec
retary of state to the extent that the
judiciary might, in a proper case, being
called upon, express its opinion OF ad-
vice.
Now, l am free to say that it would
be violation of the rules laid down by
the supreme court il this court should
undertake by mandamus to order the
secretary to do that act. am free to say
that there is some crudeness perhaps in

IMPORTANT OMISSION.
Ambrose Tighe Calls Attention to
Provision for Court Interfer-


ence.
There is provision for three kinds
of ballots, your honor will remember,
the white ballots for state officers, the
red ballots for city or municipal officers,
and the blue ballots for county officers.
In the preparation of the white ballots,
the only provision of the law comforting
this power of preparing the same on the
secretary of state is in the following
words: ''The plain white ballots shall
be printed by the secretary of state"
Then the next provision is: ''The
ballots tinted blue shall be printed by
the county auditor, and the ballots
printed red shall be printed by the CITY
clerk or recorder" The provisions
which follow in reference to the ar
rangement of the names on the bal
lots provide that this duty shall
be performed by the officer charged
with the preparing of such ballots, re-
ferring indirectly to the secretary of
state, the county auditor and the city
color OF the ballots. Then section 43,
under which these proceedings were in
stltuted, reads: whenever it shall ap.
pear, r,by affidavit presented to any judge
of the supreme court or district court''

court, but to any judge of the supreme
court or district court of the state

York over his refusal to pardon
Master Workman James Hughes,
of National Trades Assembly No. 231
of Garmentworkers, who was con yicted
eighteen months ago OF extortion, would
influence him at all to give pardon.
He said:
Il am not Ill the habit of granting
pardons upon the demand of any citi-
zen or bodies of citizens. Applications
for executive clemency are con-
sidered on their merits. Nor do |
conceive it my duty to grant pardons
for campaign purposes. On account of
the political aspect which Hughes
friends have given to the application in
his behalf, have refused to consider it
until after election. 1t may as well he
understood now as then that the gov
ernor Of the state will not be buildoZed

else in relation to official acts.''

the Republican policy of high
