proposed amendments of the Constitution, mi

of the present Legislature, and need now, for
completion, only the approval of the people

proposition. The one defeated established the

perhaps, that establishing the plurality rule of

people-(l) establish the plurality system; (2)

the election of Secretary of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, and Attorney General by the people !;
(4) secure the election of the Executive Coun-
ell from single districts by the popular vote !:
(5) forbid the use of the School Fund for Sec

The House order directing the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments to report an amend

was amended by the Senate, after a long and
animated discussion, so as to direct an inquiry,
simply, into the expedency of such measure.
Messrs: Hall, of Plymouth, and Andrews, of
Franklin, spoke against the object contempla-
