Just the Difference.

As long as the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress they practiced this joint rule in the counting of the electoral vote : Resolvetl, That no vote in any electoral certificate of a State shall be counted, if eithir the Senate or the House shall object thereto. The Democrats, now in control of both houses, have agreed on this rule : Rcsoh'ed. That no vote in any electoral certificate shall be rejected, unless both the Senate and the House shall object thereto. The Republican papers which are burning once-used powder against this rule never turn the lights on the rule of their own party. The greater fairness of the Democratic rule is obvious; but, it pledges the Republican napers to call it “ a conspiracy to steal the Presidency.” Gentlemen, there never was but one Presidency stolen in this country. The Democratic party did not steal that. —Albani/ Ar</us.
