Local Politicians Not Agreed the
Issues.
Two surprises for the politicians were
contained in Yesterdays telegraph news
from the East. One was the interview with
Henry Watterson, calling upon Cleveland
to abandon the struggle for the Presidential
nomination, and the other v as the pro
posed amendment to the constitution offered
By Senator Stewart to prohibit Presidents
from holding consecutive terms. Both seem
to meet with general approval.
said John +. Sheehan: Il think Senator
Stewards amendment a good one. The
American people are growing weary OF can
didateS who are renominated, as was shown
in the defeat of Cleveland"

. II the opinion that such a provision
would meet with general approval. The
int rsSts CT The country have grown 10 be
80 vast and so complex that every danger

ment would be safeguard against any de-
igning man who might chance to be elected

the desires Of the people. The time has
come when the American people are jealous
CT the great power of the President. and
are willing to check it By constitutional
N. NJ. Estee-It is my belief that the
amendment is IN line with the ideas of
modern politics, and if left to a vote of the
