Excerpt from Presidential Question: A Legal View of the Presidential Conflict of 1876 The "Note of Explanation" published in connection with the "Legal View of the Presidential Conflict of 1876" in the following pages, is all the apology I wish to offer in giving, in this more permanent form, to the public the Legal View above referred to, rather than leave it to the daily press alone. I do this more especially because of the endorsement which it has received from members of the bar and jurist of the highest legal position and reputation. The "Legal View" was published originally in the daily papers - Herald and Leader of Cleveland, of December 22d - and I give notices of it as contained in those papers, not only to show the opinions of the press, but the drift of public and judicial opinion on the subject. I have been asked why I did not go into the discussion of the effect of one of the candidates for elector of a state who received the majority vote being disqualified. That is not necessarily connected with this subject, and to incorporate it here would extend the article to too great length.
