| There is considerable discussion over the form IN
which the revised Constitution shall leave the con

ton of 1876 which had a Democratic majority. the

only by the president. The delegates dld not
, Constitution proposed by the Convention OF l",'-
| IS which was Republican, was signed only by the
Republican delegates to that body. In the case on
the Dresent Convention. IL is probable that the new
Prostitution will be signed in the same way, by the
Republican delegates only. Some discussion mas
arisen however. TO whether II might not be best
IN follow the example of the Convention of 1877
and rroc,aim the Constitution over the single SIG
nature OF President Choate:
Republican caucus will be held al a. IN. to-
morrow when this question, that OF the submission
OF the amendments and OF the final adjournment
will be determined.
