spoke at length, and both contribu
ted striking views of the question.
Mr. Evarts' positions, however, were

genious shape of the stereotyped Re
publican doctrine that the acts of the
State canvassers and the Governor's
ceruncate are nnal and conclusive.
Mr, O'Conor, in addition to other
points heretofore presented, argued
that as the House, in a given contin
gency, had the ; power to choose a
