“You took very much excited, dear.”
he said wheu she entered the parlor
where he was waiting for her.
“Well, I should think I ought to look
excited,” she answered. “I’ve just had
the most awful argument with ma.”
And she began to weep hysterically.
“Why, what is the matter, my dar¬
ling?” be inquired as he slid an arm
around her waist and endeavored to
soothe her. “What was the argument?”
“Oh, how can I tell you? She said
you were only trifling with me and
that you would never propose, and I
told her she did you a great Injustice,
for I believed that you would propose
tonight. She said you wouldn’t, and I
said you would, and we had it hot and
heavy. Dear George, you will not let
ma triumph over me, will you?”
“W-why, certainly not,” answered
George.
“I knew it, my darling,” the dear girl
exclaimed; “come, let us go to ma and
tell her how much mistaken she was.”
And they did, and ma didn’t seem to
be very much broken down over the
affair, after all.

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1804 the president and the vice pres¬
ident were voted for on the same bal- (
lot, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presi¬
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1800 it was the general cus¬

the electors, and it was not until 1823
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There Is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
Prom 180Q to 1824 presidential can¬
didates were chosen by the members
of congress in caucus. In 1821 the
electoral college failed to make a choice
from the candidates so submitted, and
the matter went to the house of repre¬
sentatives. Pour years later Tennes¬
see’s legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional cfnftus. His opponent.
John QningyBfcms, was nominated in
the old way. that was , tbg^eud of
