WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

The official count of the electoral
vote for president can occur but once
in four years and it is always an inter-
esting spectacle, sufficient in Washing
ton to overcrowd the galleries and this
time, as usual, thousands were turned
away unable to get within hearing.
The ceremony occurs in the hall of the
house Of representatives it having a
greater seating capacity than the
senate chamber, with impressive cere-
mony the electoral vote was counted
and the electoral vote was counted and
the election Of Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles Warren Fairbanks was an
uouuced, after tellers CD the part of
both branches Of the National legisla.
ton had formally found correct the
returns of the electors in the several
states. OF course. everybody las
known the result since November, but
Roosevelt and Fairbanks were not
actually elected until yesterday. The
notable assemblage in the galleries in
Guided Mrs Roosevelt and other mem
bers of the Presidents family; Mrs.
Fairbanks, members of the diplomatic
corps, and the wives of senators and
representatives, with as many more
fortunate persons as were able to gain
admittance Senator Fairbanks was
not present.
There was perfect silence when Sen
ator Frye presiding in the house
took from a polished hard wood
case, an attendant unlocked, a document
bearing red and gold seals. He passed
paper cutter through the wrapper
and handed it to clerk. who in turn
passed it to Senator Burrows, one of the
tellers. Senator Burrows, reading
announced that he held in his hand
what appeared to be legal and duly
authenticated record of the ELECTORAL
vote of the state Of Alabama cast for
Alton B. Parker of New York and
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia for
President and Vice President of the
United States. Democratic applause
followed the announcement. At this
moment Senator Cockrell of Missouri
rose and said that in view OF the fact
that there would be no contest, he be-
lieved it would be proper to dispense
with the reading of each return of the
electors and that the simple statement
of the vote would be ample, which was
| agreed to. The second state whose
vote was announced was Arkansas and
again Democrats applause was heard
after the formal announcement that
| Parker and Davis were the choice of
| the electors from Arkansas. Then
came the vote of California and it was
| handed to senator Bailey of Texas.

Democratic side. When the vote was
