...extravagant and ridiculous language in which the questions for debate are couched. The debates themselves show that the participants are very careful to avoid arguing the question directly as put; for instance, does anyone believe that "The preservation of Constitutional Government demands the immediate repeal of the Hoar Presidential Succession Bill?"

...Union debates to-night a question which long excited the interest of the country at large. The question of presidential succession in case of the death of one or both of the two chief magistrates has been brought before the people twice within the last five years. Mr. Hoar's bill provides for certain exigencies in a way which his opponents declare to be opposed to the constitution. The bill is now a law and as such will be discussed.
