Michigan's Electoral Vote VIII BE Split
by the Supreme Courts Decision.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-The United States
supreme court has affirmed the ruling of
the state court of Michigan in the case in.
volving the constitutonality of the Miner
election law. This decision is in favor OF
the Democrats. BY the Miner law, which
this decision upholds, presidential electors
are chosen by districts.
The supreme court holds that the law OF
Michigan dividing the state into districts
Cor the election of presidential electors is
Invalid only so far as it conflicts with the
act of congress of 1887, relating to time OF
meeting of the electors. The act is not OBJ.
noXious to the provisions of the constitu.
tion comforting upon the state Legislature
the power to fix the manner of choosing
electors. The view of the court will be
written at length later by Chief Justice
Fuller
The decision means that Michigan will
east in all probability four of her fourteen
votes for Cleveland and Stevenson Some
of the Democrats claim that they will net
seven votes. Each congressional district
will choose nm elector and each party will
have as many of the district electors as it
carries congressional districts. The two
electors at large are also to be chosen by
districts, but by great districts taking in
half the state instead of congressional dis
tricts. The Republicans insist that they
will carry both of these greater districts
and no fewer than eight of the congression.

NEW YORK TALKS TO CHICAGO.


The Long Distance Telephone Is Now in
Successful Operation.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The long distance
telephone line between this city and Chi.
cago was formally opened at 4 o'clock yes.
terday afternoon. The line operated in the
most perfect and satisfactory manner. The
line was opened by conversation between
Mayor Grant in New York and Mayor
Washburne in Chicago. Mayor Grant
offered his congratulations to Mayor Wash.
burne upon the approaching celebration,
and also upon the opening of a telephone
communication which brings the two
cities so close together. Chicago's repre-.
sentative returned the congratulations
Professor Bell then took possession of the
telephone, and held conversation with
William H. Hubbard, of Chicago, who as.
sisted Professor Bell with his first public
exhibition of the telephone in 1876, at the
centennial, when the emperor of Brazil and
Sir William Thompson first heard the tele.
phone Professor Bell sent his congratula.
tions to the officers of the company in Chi.
cago on the completion of the line. While
talking photograph of Professor Bell was
. taken by flash light.
The ladies were then given an opportunity
of talking to Chicago, and pronounced it
''just too lovely for anything" A man in
Chicago reclted 'The Charge of the Six
Hundred" " and every word was distinctly
heard at this end; in fact. much better than
it could be heard over the average local
telephone.
The line to Chicago will be opened to the
public today. 1t runs through Easton,
Harrisburg, Pittsburg and Newcastle, Pa
Cuyahoga Falls and Maumee, o., and
South Bend, Ind, to Chicago, and is what
is known as a metallic circuit" or two
wires, there being no ground connection.
The wire is copper and considerably heavier
than the ordinary telephone wire.

Mr.. Reid next refers to the revival OF
American shipping, and repeats his ad

national convention as whole. In closing
he pays high tribute to the adminstra
tion of President Harrison. He says
The administration of President Harrison

said that the present condition of the country

against subjecting the people to the shock and
needless risk inevitable in such a change.

idential Nomination.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Hon. Whitelaw
Reid's letter accepting the Republican
nomination for vice president has been
made public. 1t is addressed to Hon. w.
r. Durbin, Anderson, Ind, and is dated
Ophir Farm, n. Y, Oct. IS. In it Mr.. Reid
says:
1t is obvious that, in the common judgment
of the people in all parts of the country, the
really vital issues which this year divide parties
aud demand a popular decision are those relat-
ing to the tariff and the currency. Fortunately
both sides have stated their positions on these
subjects with directness, simplicity and frank
ness. The issues thus made between the rival
candidates for the popular suffrage are especial
ly sharp and distinct
Mr.. Reid then goes into an extended
argument on the protective tariff, its con-
stitutionality and its effect on wages, and
devotes considerable space to a discussion
of the financial question Mr. Reid, speak
ing of the alleged force bill, says it scarcely
calls for notice, and continues:
The very title of the bill referred to pro.
claimed its object to be to prevent the use of
force at elections. 1t failed anyway, and the
southern white men who were lately its chief
as they were it's most interested opponents now
begin to wish 1t revived, to protect them from
being themselves counted out of elections they
have fairly won-as the other day in Alabama
by their own white fellow Democrats.
1t Is well, however, to say that the denuncia-
tion in the Democratic platform of the princi-
pie that the federal government may supervise
the election of federal officers is grotesque.
That principle has been long recognized and it
has been sustained by the courts. 1t now stands
undisputed on the statute book and it was en-
forced at recent elections by Grover Cleveland,
then president of the United States, through
his order of Oct o, 1886, to Mr.. Garland, his at.
torney general.

NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-The Democratic
state committee met at the Hoffman House
to nominate candidate for chief justice of
the court of appeals.
The name of Judge Charles F. Andrews,
Republican nominee, was placed before the
committee by William B. Kirk, of Syra.

ON behalf of Tammany Hall Judge An.

way made speech referring to the fact
that Judge Andrews was nominated by the
Democrats in 1884 The nomination was
then made unanimous.
a letter was read from Judge Wheeler
IL. Peckham, who was himself candidate
for the Office. In the letter Judge Peck.

The Law Declared Constitutional in the
Court of Appeals.

Court of Appeals.
ALBANY, Oct 1.-THE court of appeals
has sustained the apportionment law OF
1892 and declared it constitutional by a
vote of 5 to g. The two Republican judges,
Andrews and Finch, dissented. The court
was unanimous in its opinion on all ques-
tions involved, except those discussed in
Judge Andrews opinion. This decides all
three of the apportionment cases and the
Democrats are jubilant over their victory.
The two main points of the case were:
First whether the adjourned session, at
which the apportionment law was passed,
was n second session within the terms of
the constitution, and second, whether the
division of districts by the legislature, not
being in exact ratio, was equitable.
On the first of these points the Republic
an judges agree with their Democratic col
leagues, but the second forms their only
point of disagreement.
The opinions were written by Judges
Peckham and Gray Earl, O'Brien and
Maynard concurred, and Andrews dissents
on the question in which Finch concurs.
Judge Peckham wrote the majority opinion
of IL 900 words. 1t covers forty-six pages
of typewriter copy.
The only question upon which the judges
differed is thus referred to:
"Fourth-It is finally objected that the
act is invalid because the senate districts
do not contain an equal number of in
habitants as nearly as may be. This ques
ton of inequality contains, in my JUDI
ment, the only debatable proposition arii
ing in these cases.
1--WE think that the courts have no powa
in such case to review the exercise of dis
erection intrusted to the legislature by tn.
constitution, unless it is plainly and grossly
abused. The expression 'as nearly as may
be- when used in the constitution with ref
erence to this subject, does not mean as
nearly as mathematical process can be
followed. 1t is a direction addressed to the
legislature in the way of general state.
