in all the States, two electors only shall
be chosen by the State at large and the
remainder by congressional districts,
each Of the twelve districts into which
State is divided by the new arportlon-
ment law choosing an elector for that
particular district. The district elect.
oral law was passed by the democrats a
year ago when, by a temporary division
of the Republican party, the Democrats
cot possession of both branches of the
State Legislature. Their object was to
enable them to choose their electors in
districts where they had majorlties, be-
cause they coald not hope to carry the
State on general ticket, the State as a
whole being republican. In the pres
ent Congress the Democrats have seven
members out Of the twelve.

An intimate friend of Nj. Blame is
reported to nave said in relation to the
suggestion that the ex Secretary be
sent to the Senate to succeed Mr. Hale,
that in case Mr.. Blaine should re enter
public life he would prefer The House
to the Senate.
There now seems to be an opportuni-
ty for Mr.. Blaine to represent his old
district again in Washington if he wish
es to. The persistence of Gov. Bur-
leigh IN his canvass for Congressman
Milliken's seat resulted in so bitter a
four. eornered fight that some Of the
cooler heads are considering the feast
bihty Of abandoning the warning candl-
dates and selecting an entirely new
man. Here is where the Blaine talk
commenced.
AT the largest republican caucus ey-
held IN the town of Pi:tsfeld it was
unanimously resolved that Mr.. Blaine S
name be presented Tor Congress.
