Abolition OF ,he rre.,aeucy.-

In the constitutional convention of 1887
franklin. Randolph, Mason, and several others
took strong grounds against single Executive or
President, advocating Cabinct Executive in its
place. Randolph said that the President would
be the ftctus of a king !" Franklin said that the
Presidency would end in a muHarchy;" and II was
only afer four months contest in the convention
that the single Executive or President was
adopted, Washington presiding and vot-
ing for It; and IL Is believed except for his
great influence in its favor that President never
would have been created, II is claimed by many
that Russian despotism caused tho murder Of
Alexander the Liberator, who freed 22,0O0,0OC
white slaves. Ifso did American despotism cause
the assassination of Lincoln and the attempted as
sassinaton OF President Garfield? Taking these
facts as basis pamphlet is about TO be published
in this city with the title OF Abolition of the

tion is advocated, creating council ofslate, com
