In 1821 Andrew Jackson had 0 pluralitv of ."lOJirtO over d. Adams, ami in 1888 ('rover < 'leve1 nid had a plurality of neara 100.000 over Rcn.ianiin Harrison. j Is there any iustification for eleet'i >n by Slales rather than by direct popular vole? Yes. Kledion by Slates is probably fairer lo tue county as a whole. Otherwise some limited section of the Country would acquire undue influence. Thus the manufacturing' Slate of lYniisvlvani i may syive as huire a T?epnblican vole as i! pleases, but if o:\:i deliver onlv thirfv-four clccloral voles.
