' ' ‘2 Electing Our: Presldent. The question is asked how the Presi- dency or Vice-Presidency would be filled in event of the death of either Mr. McKinley or Mr. Hobart before the 4th .of March, the day~fixed for their inauguration. Who would suc- ceed either of them in the event of death depends upon the particular time at which such vacancy might occur. are not elected President and Vice- President of the United States. The people have simply chosen Presidential Electors, and until the Electoral Col- leges shall have cast and returned their vote, there will be no actual election to an the highest offices of the Republic. The Electoral Colleges of the States will meet On Monday, January 11, 189.7, to ballot for President and Vice- President of the United States. Of course, it is well known how these col- leges will vote, as all the Electors are chosen under instructions of the most sacred character to vote either for : Mc- Kinley and Hobart or Bryan and Sew- all. Until the Electoral Colleges meet, therefore, there will be no elec- tion of President or Vice-President. In the event of the death of either Mr. McKinley or Mr. Hobart before the meeting of the Electoral Colleges 'on the 11th of January next, the Re- publicangleaders would doubtless sum- mon their * national convention, by telegraph if necessary, to indicate a man on whom the Republican Electbré should tinite to fill the vacancy. In the event of the death of either Bryan or Sewall no such action by a National convention would be necessary, as their EAiectors are in the minority in the Eleétoral Colleges and cannot elect any one.’- i . In 1872 Mr. Greeley died soon after the Presidential election, and when the Electral Colleges convened the Electors chosen for Mr. Greeley scattered their .. votes according to their individual preferences, as they were in a small minority, but had Mr.‘ Greeley carried a majority of the Presidential Electors at the popular election, the convention that nominated him would doubtless have been‘convened and another can- didate named to guide the Electors. The certified returns from the Elec- toral Colleges. of the States are trans- mitted by special messenger to the President of the Senate, or to the Sec- retary of State it the President of the, Senate is not at the capital, and on the second Wednesday of February the two houses of Congress will meet in joint session of the House at 1 o ’,olock when the Vice President, or President of the Senate, will preside and open the cer- tificates; and after the votes shall have been computed by tellers, the Presi- dent and Vice President will be ofii- cially declared. Until then the elec- tion of McKinley and Hobart will not be complete. If either Mr. McKinley or Mr. Ho- bart were to die after the Electoral Colleges had voted for them and before the final declaration of the vote by the two branches of Congress, it would not be within the power of the joint session ' of Congress to do anything else than declare the result as returned to, them. Thus in case of the death of the candi- datefor- President or Vice President 4 who was" elected by the Electoral Col- leges, the dead candidate would have to be declared elected. If McKinley were to -die after his election by the Electoral Colleges and before the-4th of March, Vice Presi- dent-elect Hobart would, on the 4th of March, firsttakc the oath of office as 'Vice President and then immediately take the oath of office as President. In the [event of the death of the Vice President-elect before the 4th of March, the President of the Senate would take his place, without any other action, as there is always a President pro tem. of this body. " While the election of McKinley and Hobart is accepted on all sides,,as they received an immense majority "r’of the As yet McKinley and Hobart} whole popular vote cast and nearly a two- thirds vote in the Electoral Col- leges, they will not be legally and for- mally elected to the offices of President and Vice President until the meeting of the Electoral Colleges on the 11th of January, and that result will not be officially declared until the second Wednesday of February, when a joint meeting of Congress Will officially and finallygdeclaro the election of McKinley and Hobart. ~ ——~————— - -’—-—-—‘-- -—- South Norwalk.
