The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1885-12-02
Congress-.

The assembling of the new congress
next Monday is looked forward to with
strong interest. The first duty of the
senate will be the election of presid-
ing officer, who will be the acting Vice
president. AT the special session of
the senate, last spring, no president pro
tenn. was elected, as Mr.. Hendricks did
not vacate the chair at any time to per-
NIT the election to be made. The indi-
cations now are that the honor will be
conferred on western senator, though
in the event of close contest an east
ern senator may be selected by way of
compromise. The feeling is said to
prevail among republican senators that
1t would be unwise to choose any one
whose present term does not extend be-
yond Cleveland's, and, in the event of
the latter's death, the failure of a sena-
tors election by his own state would
create an interregnum. This argument
is directed chiefly against Senator Sher-
man, but it is applicable to others.
General Logan is now most prominently
named in connection with the position.
The fact that he is without any commit
tee assignments, and that there will be
some embarrassment in restoring him
to his old positions, is an important
factor that will be duly considered.
The Tribune says: "Almost half the
voters of the United States, at the last
election, supported Senator Logan for
Vice-president, believing him to be a
person worthy to succeed in case of the
death of the President. 1t is proper
that this fact should have some weight
with republican senators in making
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1885-12-02
The Presidential Succession.

The death of Vice-president Hen
bricks directs general attention once
more to the matter of the presidential
succession, though the contingency is
not an alarming one. Neither house
now has presiding officer, and should
anything happen to the President there
would be no one who could become
his unquestioned successor. But as
congress meets next Monday there is
comparatively little danger of such a
contingency. The present law confers
the order of succession first on the
president of the senate and next on the
speaker of the house. 1t also provides
for new election on the death or dis
ability of both President and Vice
president, and orders the secretary of
state at the time to give notice to the
governors of the states of the fact of
the vacancy and of the day appointed
for the election, which must be within
thirty-four days of the first Wednesday
in December following the notice. If
President Cleveland should die in office,
the acting vice-president soon to be
elected by the senate republican ma
jority from their own number would
then become President, but as his ten
ure would be not more than year in
any case he would hardly be able to ex-
ercise the Office in any other way than
as care-taker.
A bill passed the senate last winter
providing that in case of the death or
inability of both the President and Vice
president, a member of the cabinet
should hold the office until the disa-
bility is removed or until the vacancy
should be filled by new election, and
the succession was regulated in the fol-
lowing order: Secretary of state, treas
ury, war, Encouragement, postmaster
general, secretary of navy and secretary
of the interior. One consideration urged
in favor of this plan was that it would
insure for the time being the continu-
ance of the party in power electing the
two high officials. The democratic
house failed to act upon this bill, be-
cause the majority were disposed to
maintain the right of succession now
lodged by law in its speaker. But the
question is one of great Importance
and ought to be definitely settled. If
the bill passed by the senate last win
ter should be again urged upon the at
tention of congress, it would probably
be advisable to incorporate provision
determining when inability on the part
of President or Vice-president really
exists. The only sensible plan is ia
anticipate every possible contingency.
