THE ELECTION or A PRESIDENT

THE ELECTION or A PRESIDENT
The present generation has
never found it necessary to in
quire into the manner OF determ-
lining the result in a three corn
cred fight for the presidency. A
majority of the electoral votes
settles the question in favor OF
the candidate receiving it. In
every election since the begin
ming of the civil war, the repub-
lican party has succeeded in
electing their candidate, with but
two exceptions. In all these
years no third party has been
able to make a formidable show
ing. In 1876 the Greenback par
ty named Peter Cooper as their
candidate. Mr. Cooper did not
receive a single electoral vote.
Four years later, 1880, the party
nominated Gen. James B. Weav-
er, who did not receive an electo-
raj vote. In 1892. the Populist
party with Gen. Weaver as its
candidate. received % electoral
votes.
There are 531 votes in the cleo
toral college. The candidate who
receives 266 of these votes will
be the next president. Should
no candidate receive a majority
of these votes, then the house OF
representatives would proceed to
ballot for a president upon as
sembling in December. Each
state has but one vote, and the
members of congress of each
state determine how the vote of
the state shall be cast. In the
states where a majority of the
members Of congress are repub-
lican, the votes of ,uch states
would be cast for the republican,
and those states having a major
ity of democrats in the house
would cast their vote for the dem
ocratic nominee. The house of
representatives must elect one of
the candidates having the great
est number of votes in the electo-
raj college. Twenty-Five states
have a majority of democrats,
and twenty-five have a majority
of republicans in the house Of
representatives. The votes Of
these fourty-four states result in
a tie. In Maine, Nebrassa New
Mexico and Rhode Island the
members of congress are evenly
divided between the democrats
and republicans. 1t is hardly
possible for the members of con-
gress from these four states to
get together and cast their vote
for any candidate. With this
state of affairs in the house of
representatives there is but little
likelihood that a president would
be elected by that body should
the election be thrown into the
house.
Should the electoral college fail
to elect a vice-president, then the
senate would proceed to elect one,
each senator having a vote. The
senate can also vote for a candi-
date having the highest number
of votes in the electoral college.
