The Final Act in the Presidential Election of 1888. Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton have been officially declared President and Vice-President-elect by both branches of Congress in joint convention. This being the first time that the electoral vote was counted under the new law, it became, there- fore, an occasion of unusual importance and interest. Two hours before the assemblin of Congress the galleries and that portion o the floor in rear of seats in the hall of the House of Representatives were crowded The first hour in both branches was occupied with trapsaction of routine business, to which but little attention was paid by the members, Beside the Speaker's chair was placed one for Senator Ingalls, who, as presiding of- | ficor of the Senate, was to preside over the joint assembly, and in the area in front of the Clerk's desk were placed a number of richly upholstered chairs and lounges for the accommodation of the Senators. Al noon the Speaker's gavel bushed the hum of con- versation and the chaplain made a prayer. After some routine business by the House, and promptly at 10 o'clock, the Senate was | announced. The procession of Senators was led by two of the doorkeepoers. Then came venerable Captain Bassett, who has seen fourteen electoral counts in the Capitol. The | captain carried two boxes of electoral cortifi- cates. Behind him and closely watching the boxes came Presiding Officer Ingalls and General McCook, Secretary of the Senate Two -by-two the Senators marched down the | contral aisle behind the presiding officer, When they had taken their seats on the right | of the Speaker's desk, Speaker Carlisle banded over bis gavel and chair to Mr, Ingalls, and took the adjoining chair on the left, The tellers took their places be'ow The Hepresentatives remained standing | until the Senators had taken the seats as signed them, and then Senator Ingalls called the joint assembly to order. Mr. Ingalls then said: “This being the day and the hour appoint- od for opening the certificates and counting the votes of Electors for President, the Bene ate and House of Representatives have met together pursuant to law.” Mr, Ingalls then said that unless there was certificate of the electoral id be read. tellers, who They were we Man clared some ob be the oak Harris and RB teout, Mr which Renators Manderson ¢ sentatives Baker and Forme: derson read the certificate that ten electoral vote cast for Cleveland and 1 wument was read utes denat sent reading Fepresen tion Ly trying electoral count law re officer to ask af w Edmunds h Was gr f snnch cortifionts : speneed with tative Cox mad ext interrup read a sentence from the wiring the presiding reading of ortifi- { each Ingalls anKe ants after the cate if there was any tried to shut him off, : The presiding officer did Cox's suggestion } Mr ' tent i. and there was great rattle the tellers Senator unced the + indiana eland and had to correct Harrison amid confusion ar The spectators were enjoying thing y that Mr. Ingalls had to ask for o Vice resi several nlaxey tes Of be order, and gro] ele The teed le as New Hampshire West Virginia Wisconsin, ......
