The Constitutional Amendments.

The passage of the bill proposing amend
ments to the Constitution by three-ffths of
the whole number of members of both
Houses, virtually opens the campaign IN
this State. Party platforms will be adopted
from this standpoint. The fact that the
Radicals in the Senate voted solidly against
the bill, and with three or four EXCEPTIONS,
Ibid the same in the House, will make the
proposed amendments party question:
i The Radical candidate for Governor IS
committed in advance against these AMEND
ments. The platform must be in accor-
dance with the record the party leaders
E have made i'll the Legislature.
Il Almost every prominent Radlcal Ill ult
