of tho four propositions is In favor OF
those two changes.
While the suggestion of the Hon. Mr..
Stubs as to calling convention to
settle the questions Of the proposed
amendments within the councils Of the
party doubtless contains merit, 1t comes
too late In the day to be feasible or
practicable. The brevity Of time would
hardly permit the calling OF such q
convention now. Moreover, the changes
must take their constitutional course,
and we believe that great many Of
tho Democratic voters have made up
their minds and would not now be in
fluenced by the action OF convention.
The agitation over these changes ia
nos likely to disrupt" the Democratic
party. There may be "dissensions," but
they Will not touch the structure OF
the party. For 1t is not really
q partisan matter; these changes
involve principally considerations Of,
good government. In both parties
opinions differ as to the advisabilityl of
these changes, and If the proposed
amendments fail, such a result will not
create any issue of which the minority
party can take advantage
