In Reference to MARYLAND.

If the tellers discover that there are two
sets Of votes for the state of Maryland they
will make that fact known to the presiding
officer and he will repeat 1t to the two
houses as they sit in joint session. That
will be the critical moment If any one
wishes to criticise the validity of the votes
of the electors, from Maryland. The fact
cannot be officially known to the two houses
until that moment. Debate On the question
of the validity of the electors will not be
allowed In Joint session, but motion will
be In order to have the two houses dissolve
their joint meeting. and each house can re-
assemble in its own chamber, when the
question of the validity of the vote can be
brought up and discussed.
The right of Congress to go back of the
returns wilt then be question for debate,
on which there will doubtless be. as In the
past, the widest possible division of opinion
II the democrats take the position that Con-
gress cannot go back of the returns in the
matter of the state electors they will oppose
the position taken by their party leaders in
the debates In Congress and in the electoral
commission of 1877, which resulted In the
seating of President Hayes.
