Why They Want Him.

The resolutions adopted by the Demo-
cratic Convention for the Second Assembly
district set forth without exaggeration the
feeling OF the great majority OF the Demo-
Gratis Of this State toward DAVID BENNETT
HILL and the reasons for that feeling:
"we tho Democrats Of tho Second Assembly district.
in convention assembled hereby pledge united and
hearty support to the nominees Of tho Democratic Ma
tona Convention to be held in Chicago the 2lst Of
June. 1892: and

ton use all honorable means In eecting the delegates

the National Con Chicago June 21 next whs
will vote for and aid TO nominate DAVID HILL a. the
Democratic candidate for President believing that his
course and the policy no pursued Governor Of this
State for the past seven years will Justify the Demo
cratic party in making him their standard bearer in
the coming Presidential contest"
The New York Democrats are for HILL
because they believe that the principles.
the leadership. and the tactics which have
given them series of victories resulting in
complete control OF all branches of the
State Government will be successful in the
service Of the national Democracy. Under
Governor HILL the New York Democracy
has become united. powerful. and confident.
Again and again 1t has proven itself moro
than a match for the Republicans and the
Mugwumps. Naturally 1t believes that the
leader who has done SO much for the party
In the Empire State Is the best man to lead
the national Democratic party.
good many Democrats Of tho South and
West are expressing that same belief. They
want no repetition OF an unsuccessful ex-
pertinent. They want for oommander-in

self by his brilliancy. his genius. and his un-

| OF each branch was necessary In order to
comply with the intention OF the law; but
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
| Elections is unanimous in declaring that
| the Joint assembly contemplated by the
law Is not composed Of the two Houses as
such. Each branch Of the Legislature has
had an opportunity to act in its separate
and independent capacity before the joint

apart. the members OF the two Houses
when they come together to act come
simply as members OF the Legislature as

pate In the vote. We quote from the report

An Important Election Contest.

An important question relating to the
election OF Senators Of the United States by
the two branches OF Legislature in Joint
assembly may be regarded as finally settled
by the recent decision OF the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. in the
case Of Mr.. r. H. N. DAVIDSON. who con-
tested the right Of Mr.. WILKINSON CALL to
q seat In the Senate as duly elected Sena-
tor from Florida.
In April. 1891. each OF the chambers Of the
Florida Legislature met and voted sep
arately for the election OF Senator Of the
United States. No candidate received a
majority Of tho whole number Of votes cast
in each House: and therefore. pursuant to
the requirements OF the Federal statute on
the subject. the members Of tho two Houses
convened in joint assembly on the following
day and voted for Senator. but still without
making any choice. This process was re-
peated on every week day thereafter up to
May &c. 1891. when tifty-two members of tho
Legislature out Of one hundred. who con-
stituted the entire number. were present,
and fifty-one voted for Mr.. CALL. He was
thereupon declared duly elected. having re-
ceived majority OF the votes OF all those
who were present and voting. tho same
being also a majority OF all the members
elected to both Houses OF the Legislature.
The Governor OF Florida denied tho valid
ity OF Mr.. CALLS election. on the ground
that when he received the flfty-one votes
there were not a sufficient number of State
Senators present and voting to constitute
He therefore appointed Mr.. DAVIDSON to
tto htnt, no
consequence OF the failure Of the Legisla-
ture legally to elect any Senator.
The correctness Of the Governors view
depends upon tho construction to be given
to the provisions OF tho Revised Statutes of
the United States relating to tho election
of Senators. After failure of either House,
voting separately. to give majority of the
whole number OF votes cast to any person,
the law requires that on the following day
1.-The members OF the two Houses shall con-
vene in joint assembly" The joint assem-
bly, "shall then proceed to choose by viva
voce vote Of each member present person
for Senator. and the person who receives a
majority OF all the votes Of the Joint assem-
bly,. q majority of all the members elected
to both Houses being present and voting.
shall be declared duly elected" Further
more. the joint assembly is required to
meet at noon every day during the session
OF the Legislature and take ut least one
vote until Il Senator is elected.
IL the statute commanded the two
Houses, instead Of the members of the two
Houses. to convene In joint assembly, there
would be considerable force In the argu-
ment that the convention was composed of

To all Of these statements and assertions
proper weight will be given by those who
are impartially interested in filling up with
authentic facts and dates the remarkable
blank that has heretofore existed IN just
that part Of Gen. ALaER's record upon
which the admirers Of his military glory
