here IL a sti simpler method Of get.

out recourse to resistance. The dissen-

such strain on the integrity of electors
Of states was effected, though 1t was I'M

The Plan to Mexicanixe the Presidency
of the United Stntcs.

(Trom the Booklyn Daily Eagle)
i great deal Of discussion has sprung
up on the obligation of electors to the
parties they are supposed to represent.
1t is not a new subject. one elector
voted against George Washington when
he was elected for a second term, and
no one WAS running against him This
elector was from New Hampshire, We
think. He was a friend and admirer
of the Father of His Country, but he
said that the precedent of two unani-
nous electors was undesirable and
might become dangerous. Presumably
he would have been an an,i-third
termer.
No president has been chosen without
opposition in the electoral college since
Washingtons unanimous first election.
Electors so divided after that that the
electoral vote of Thomas Jefferson and
Aaron Burr in 1901 was tie, and one
State in the House of Representatives
gave TO jefferson just u majority of one
over Burr, on the advice Of Alexander
Hamilton. whom Burr afterward killed
in "a duel. After that there was no fall
ure Of electoral choice until the House
of Representatives in 1873, by vote Of
States. chose John Quincy Adams, under
the preference of Henry Clay for Adams
