AN UNJUST CRITIC
PROFESSOR GOODWIN SMITH ON
OUR ELECTIONS.
The Canadian Educator Thinks the Form Of
Presidential Elections in this Country is a
Failure. and That Party Passions Aroused
Are all Wrong

Professor Goodwin Smith, of Toronto.
Canada, makes the following very unjust
criticism of our presidential contests:
ut is with regard to the form provided
for the election of the president, how
ever, that the work OF the fathers has
most signally and, perhaps. most un.
happily failed. Their intention was
that the president should be elected by
chosen bodies of select and responsible
citizens. For time the nominations
were kept, if not in the hands which the
legislators had intended, a least in select
hands. But since the Jacksonion era
nomination and election have been COM
pletely in the hands OF the democracy at
large, and the election has been per-
formed by process OF national agitation
and conflict which sets at work all the
forces of politicel intrigue and corruption
on the most enormous scale, besides
filling the country with passions almost
as violent and anti social as those of civil
war. The qualification for the nominal
ton is no longer eminence, but availa-
bility. 1t is not question which man
Is most worthy of public confidence, but
which man can carry New York or
Ohio"
1t is true that the electoral college
does not answer the purpose now for
which it was intended. At the time it
was created we lacked the railroad, the
telegraph and other means now employ.
ed to bring political information to the
home Of the humblest citizen, and it
seemed to those who made the constitu-
ton that such an electoral body was
necessary. The change that has taken
place is not, however, a retrograde move
ment. 1t is rather distinct evidence OF
progress. The presidency is safe when
completely in the hands OF the demOc.
racy at large" and the agitation OF
which Prof. Smith complains is the
stirring 1T is necessary to keep our
political waters pure.

Canada has made progress because
she also has stirring campaigns. The
fact that our campaigns include the cleo.
ton of president as we'll as the election
OF a congress is fact to our credit rather
than against us. There is no danger in
leaving these questions with the people.
The people make mistakes, but they do
not make them SO often as arbitrary
rulers, and when the people do make
mistakes they correct them more quickly
and more easily.
If Prof Smith will cross the line and
come among us he will find that the
campaigns are educational, and that our
people are the bette, for the political
experiences through which they pass.
Responsibility is strengthening our peo-
Pile, and no one at home or abroad need
lose faith in the ability Of the people of
this country TO settle Alright all the
problems that concern them. Some one
has said that the American people some
times wait until the eleventh hour, but
that when they do get to work they do
enough in the remaining hour to make
up for earlier inaction.
The American republic is all right. i.
is just now suffering from republican
victory and it is afflicted with imperial
istic tendenc es and an overdose of
militarsm, but it will recover. The
people are enduring things just now that
they ought to put an end to. but there is
no reason to be discouraged. The demo-
cratic party ought to simply redouble its
efforts and take it's appeal to the moral
sentiment OF the country, and that ap.
neal will ultimately be successful.
