favor It, but It is hardly a party question.
A resolution in is favor has passed a re;
times and has been rejected In a republican
senate by the votes Of senators from both
iatures Of many republican states. In a
number Of states. both democratic and re-
publican, substantially such a system now
prevails.
I~naccuracy and InsIncerIty.
