The method of appointment by the states of elector! for president and has recently attrac ted renewed interest by reus f a departure by the state of Michi. jiau lroiu the methods which had become uuilorni iu all tin: slab-- . Prior to ls.;v. various ineteods had In c:i Used by the differ, cut stotes and even by Ihe. Mime slate. In some Ibe choice was made by the, leirisla. tt::e. In nth rs electors were chosen by dis. triets, but more generally by the mto of the whule slate, upon n. general ticket. Tin: movement tow ards the adoption of the hi ,i last named method had uu early becjnnlntr and went steadily forward annum the states until iu K';j there remained but a single,. South Carolina, that had not adopted it. 'Ihal stale, until the civil war, continued to choose its electors by vote of the leis. lature, but after the 'war changed its method Bnd coulormi d to the prai tlee of the other states, for nearly sixty year.-- nil the states save one have appointed tneir electors by a popular vote upon a jrrneral ticket, and for ncar'y thirty years this method was a I. After a full test (,f other methods without Important division or dissent in any state nnd without any purpose of party advantage as we must believe, but solely upon the that uniformity was desirable, ni".! that a treiicral election in territorial di-visions not. subject to ehanee was most with the popular character of our in-stitutions, best preserved the eiUalily of out-voters, nnd effectually removed the choice of president from the baleful inlluence of , ' the "tcerrymander,' the practice of nil the states was baoimht Into harmony. That this concurrence, should new be broken is, I think, an unfortunate, and even a threaten-ing episode, and one that may well simirest whether the states that still (rive tvw'ir ap- - detennincd that the choice of electors by a general ticket Is the wisest and saf-est method, and It would seem, Indi-rectly, whetlur the choice of members ol tin- house uf or Indirectly, as iu tnc choice of members that the re could be no objection to a constitutional amendment making that method permanent.

While the policies of the general irovcrn. fneiit upon the tariff, upon tin- restoration of our nn reliant marine, upon the river and harbor improvements and other such mat-ters of "iave anil general concern arc liable to be returned in Itiis way or that by the re-sults of tonirrcssioti.'il election, and the administration's policies sometimes that tend to peace or War, to be turned tills way or that by the results of a presidential clei tion, there is a rightful Inlerest 'n ail the states and every coneres-siona- l district that will not be deceived or by the audacious pretenses that a ipicstiou of riejil of any body of legal voturs in any state or in any coimres-ion- dis. tri't to icive their sntYranu freely upon these general questions, is a matter only of loial concern or control. The de-mand that the limitations of the suffrage shall be found in the law and only there, is a just demand, and any just man should re-sent and resist, it. My appeal is and must conl nun-t- a consultation that shall "protect with candor, calmness and patience upon the Hues of justice and humanity, not ha juejudiee and cruelty." '1 he consideration of t hese very grave ques-tions invite not only the attention of congress but that of all patriotic citizens. We must not. entertain the delusion that, our people have ceased to regard a free ballot and equal representation as the price of their alleL'ianee to laws and to civil magistrates. I have been greatly rejoiced to notice many evi-dences of the Increased unilication of our people and of a revived national spirit.

Sherman Hoar of Massacliiisctl s, w hen asked w by he did not vote lor speaker on roll call yesterday, said: "Last fall I staled that in the coiuinif con-test for the speakership I would vote for no candidate who would not promise his inllu-ence, if elected speaker, airainst the consid-eration of had financial legislation and of the extension of silver voimuru. When Crisp became the candidate of the party, I sent to hiin and asked him to g'ive me this promise, w hich he declined to do. There was then nothing for me to do but refrain from volintf for him. In my judgement, how-ever, lie will do exactly what he. refused to promise-t- do. namely, use his inlluence as speaker against the consideration of mens, ures lookfntf to the extension of the coinage of sliver. I feel fairly sure such will he his action, but as 1 could not get his promise, he could not ifct my vote. fonvt'iifion PoKtpnnpd. AVasiiimi-i-iin-- , 11. V. S.
