Evans and other distinguished Reform ers iiiet Editor ficnipmll, State Senator Barnwell and other prominent Conser vatives and their deliberations werh of a very important and wholesome char acter. The Reformers con ended that the JMspeus iry law and kindred acts of purely a legislative character should lie left out of the tTonsiittition and the Conservatives conceded that the lire brand of referring the new constitution hack to tlie people for ratification should not be thrown. Both sides conceded that white supremacy shall he the main feature of the new fundamental law, aud all of till* w as good, and these emi nent men desert e the thanks ami w ill receive the gTatltmla of 'HieTTrate Tor Muir wise and patriotic work. They also recommended an equal division of Hie delegates to the convention between the two faction* of the party. Two questions are lobe considered upon Mils proposition: first is this practicable, second is it dealrablc. I do not think it is practicable. The people alone can slccijfe the question of who shall go to the convention, or lie elected to any po sition. Unless we go back to the con vention plan of electing delegates no ■nan nor set of men can say w ho shall he chosen, - The Reform movement turned upon the question of taking elections out of the hands of conven tions, cliques, conclaves, lings or hy whatever nauHf” they (fere called and. submitting them to the unti'Hinnieled w ill of the people, and it is too late now to take any steps backw ards, and hence the resolution which says “we know of no power or anthori'y that can make any agreement or place any* limitation upon tlie pow er of the people to choose A comparative statement of customs TttyHpt* during tlie first.half year nuder the McKinley tar.lHaw ati'd^iivmrvbe Wilson law show's that the Ye.-elpU hTf- der the new law were nearly 2o per •cent, greater than under the old.
