arena and shoo hands amid tumultuous applause It is a little trite to say that public s full of humbug and sham but it is very true backward and forward with his The cause of so much commotion was the desire of a number of gallant members to extend the courtesies of the floor to tha present Their wish prevailed out opposition which indicated that they either had not appreciated tha tamper of the house or else were eager to distinguish themselves by being first in the advocacy of especial honors for their fair friends HIGH TWELVE WAS REACHED AT LAST and shortly afterward the announcement was made that the Vice-president and tiie Senate were awaiting admission An der was given at once for tho clearing of tlie two rows of nearest the Speakers desk and the grave procession entered and took tho places assigned them Wheeler mounted to the ing officer's chair and calling the blage to order declared the business on hand to be the counting of the Electoral votes for President and Vice-President of the United States as certified ve colleges In front of Mr at the long desk usually occupied by the clerks sat the venerable Hannibal Hamlin and the snuffy but dignified Judge man as tellers on behalf of the Senate and Messrs Crowley and as tellers for the House of Representatives The Vice- President informing the meeting that the first document purported to be a certificate from Alabama broke tha seals of a paper ia his hand and passed it over to Mr Hamlin who read it through in his thin quavering voice The nest certificate of Arkansas read by Senator Thurman At this point a suggestion was made from the that formal parts of the documents be omitted and only the essential passages recited mous consent was readily given as the audience had begun to grow restless and glances were turned uneasily toward the clock had the entire packet of certificates been read in full a quick calculation showed that at least five and perhaps six hours would have been consumed by tbe ceremonial A slight variation from the rule was made in the case of California divided vote was the political anomaly of recent years and also in the case of Georgia vote was recorded only b on account of the in- f in the date of tha meeting of the Electoral college When the list had been completed the Vice President rapped with his gavel to command silence and Senator in a loud clear tone THE TELLERS REPORT that the whole number of Electors ed vote for President of the United States was three hundred and sixty-nine of which a majority is one hundred ane eighty-five Were the votes of the Electors for of Georgia east on the second Wednesday of December being the eighth day of said month to be counted the result would For James A- Garfield of the State of Ohio for dent of the United
