not an instance so far known of an act

Presidential Elections.


The tremendous excitement of this
presidential campaign will probably
bring to the surface many propositions
looking to changes in our electoral sys-
tenn and in the term OF ofllce-of the
president. Very few will dispute the
assertion that our great national con-
tests are too frequent, but under the
present system the only alternative is
to make the term so long as to render
IL extremely hazardous to putsome men
In the Office, Eight or ten years would
not be too long for a good man, but
they would be altogether too long for q
bad one.
The most sensible plan yet suggest
ed is TO abolish the popular vote on
president aud let the house of repre-
Aentatives elect the chief magistrate.
His term could be fixed or not, as
might be thought desirable, bat he
would necessarily be responsible TO
congress.
In this way relief might be had very
easily from these long-drawn and
wholly disgraoeful contests and the
rights of the people would be quite as
carefully guarded. The business in.
teresls of the country will SOME day
demand that such n change be made.
