replies received from over hundred mem
bers of congress to the inquiry as to
whether they would favor or oppose a
resolution should one be offered in the

by Representative William II. Springer,
Of Illinois, upon Dsc. ID 1875, and adopted.
Seventeen congressman announce for

very decided sentiment in favor of u term
of six years, with the president Ineligible
