The controversy in the Massachusetts, leg
islature on the question OF biennial sessions
has called renewed attention to the subject
in all the eastern states, and two or three
weeks ago Mr.. Forbes, the Boston journal
representative for Vermont, sent out circu-
lar letter Of enquiry to prominent men in the
state asking their opinion Of tbs working of
the biennial system as compared with the an
nual system Last Saturday the result Of the
enquiry was published and it was strongly in
favor Of the biennial system. Full ninety
per cent. Of the replies express the belief
that the change to the biennial system was a
wise one, and a considerable number OF tH-
perienced men now think the state would
suffer no harm II elections and legislative
sessions we're held only quadrienially. One
OF the strongest letters in favor Of the bien-
NAL system was written by ex-Judge Barrett,
who finds great advantage in the freedom
from political excitement on alternate years,
aud in the saving Of the time and money nee.
essarily incident to an election campaign,
while the quality Of legislation is as good as
under the annual system. Those reasons are
substantially those given by nine.teuths of all
the writer's in favor of the biennial system
Mr.. Forbes gives figures which show that the
legislative debentures for every two years are
now S35, 600 less than under the annual sys-
TEN, and that the length of the legislative
session for each two years has averaged 2G
days less under the biennial system. His
conclusion is that "lhe great preponderance
of public sentiment in favor Of the present
system of elections and sessions, after trial
of the amendment sixteen years, is pretty
good guaranty that the biennial question viii
