_OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS AT THE COUNTING OF THE ELECTORAL VOTES IN ALL THE ELECTIONS OF PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; TOGETHER WITH ALL CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION INCIDENT THERETO, OR TO PROPOSED LEGISLATION UPON THAT SUBJECT._ WITH AN ANALYTICAL INTRODUCTION. One large 8vo Volume, 750 Pages, Paper Covers, Price, $3. The decision of the aggregate votes cast for a President is the greatest and most important act relating to every such election. How shall it be done? How shall the result be peacefully and justly decided? How shall the votes be counted? Upon the satisfactory solution of this question hangs the existence of the Government. In these pages the reader will find all that has been proposed or said in Congress on the subject, together with the entire official action of Congress in counting the votes at every previous presidential election. All the congressional debates on this subject are printed verbatim from the reports in "The Annals of Congress," "Congressional Globe," and "Congressional Record," and in every case the pages of the original work are given.
