FOUR YEARS.

The State Convention was in
some respects a remarkable body.
1t worked rapidly, but with sufficient
deliberation it was harmonious
and did but little talking. The
resolution in favor Of nominating a
State ticket at once was adopted by
q vote of one hundred and ninety
to ninety. The old ticket was re-
nominated unanimously, in the
midst Of applause. This will give
satisfaction to the people for they
have all the time been ready for
the denomination. The old ticket
is a good one.
The practice, which is growing
into recognized custom. of re-
nominating each State ticket one
time IS equivalent to making the
term of Office four instead Of two
years. And if this practice is to
contimnc. as il probably will, the
constitution might as we'll be
amended SO as to make the term Of
Office four years. This would SIM
plify the political machinery Of the
State to some extent, without being
radical innovation upon estah.
