SHEET ANCHOR OF THE REPUBLIC
George II. Edmunds Opposed to Pop
uIar Election of II. s. Senators.


uIar Election of u. S. Senator'S.
NEWPORT, r. l., July %, 1S94.-Ex-
United States Senator George F. Edmunds
of Vermont, in an interview yesterday, said
regarding the proposition to elect United
States Senators by popular vote, Mr.. Ed
munds said:-'The Senate always had been
and always will be, SO long as constituted
through the election by the Legislature of
the States that John Adams called the sheet
anchor of the Republic On the whole.
it has been of invaluable service
in the good government of this country.
This attack upon the Constitution and the
House provision for the election of the Sena-
tors directly by the people is an immense de-
fusion and an attempted disturbance of con-
sentative balance, as the Senate is the fea-
ture that the makers of the legislation in
tended to have most pronounced effect. The
quality of men selected through popular
ity of the body, as is perfectly obvious to any
person who is at all read in the political his
tory of this or other countrys.
I'm one or two States it may be possible to
secure two or three men to vote for a
particular Senator by means of purchase,
which is a particularly bad thing, but it
must be remembered that the men that
manage that sort of thing can control the
primaries to choose delegates to a State con-
vention more certainly than the members of
any State Legislature ever elected, and that
the people may generally be relied upon to
vote for the party nominee, good OF bad. Ii
the States of the Union awe a wise regard
for their own State Independence and safety
they will preserve the election of their
legislative body as they preserve the making
of laws"
