FRASkFoRr, Oct Is, 1919.
Ma. HALpKMAS-Dsar SIR: Ia the Ksntrcku
ieoaan of Thursday, find the following editorial
article:
Two of our Louisville contemporaries appear not
TO have a very favorable opinion of the Constitu-
;ional Convention. The Frankfort correspondent
Of one OF them, we observe, has attempted, on
more than one occasion, 10 depreciate the labors |
Of the Convention, and we look upon it, had the
bad taste 10 attempt 10 cast ridicue upon some OF
the delegates, by giving what puTpOrs 10 be a re-
port Of a conversation, during the calling of the |
yeas and nays, which The correspondent will hard
y insist upon as being correct. The Courier, pro-
Dably, thinks il has good cause for being offended
with the Convention for refusing the reporter of

ng that privilege that il was refused, nor at the
inc to the paper itself We submit II, therefore,
whether shat paper OF its correspondent consult

ion as they have made.
The Journals correspondent, though something
more dignihed, is not the less evidently trying 10
Teate in the public mind an unlavorable impress
ion against the action of the Convention. The
beet Of the correspondent OF the journal, though
re unfavorable, so far, 10 the action of the Con-
ention.
Ia il right, thus early, TO PREJUDICE the action Of
he Convention! Will not every good citizen hope
,r their labors 10 result favoraby for the common
Iesli And should not every COED ciliEe en- endesyor
predspose the public mind in favor OF the great
Iork until il is certainly seen that il 10 not such
3 the people expect il TO be!
Now with due Difference 10 my friend Of the
CONAN, and in the kindest spiri, toward him,
lust protest sgainst his endeavor TO place me in
position antsgonistic to the Convention, as a
sdy, and disclaim all intention TO "depreciate the
Ibors of the Convention" TO "prejudge the &C
on" of that body, or 10 "create in the public :
lind an unfsvorable impression against the action
the Convection" Your correspondent was c
'e OF the earliest editors in the State 10 take
ound against the abuses and couuPlions which {
I'D grown up under the present Constitution, and .
hich he deemed inseparaby connected with it \
I'd one of the first TO raise the banner of Consti-
tiona reform. He was in the field as early as the {
eoman-has fought the battle as Eeslously, as {
ithfully and as increasingly, Che will not say as P
hciently) as that paper hss-and now, when the o
'ntest is over, the victory won and the fruits Of
presented to our lips, he has no idea Of turning
om them, until they are tasted and tested. So s
as he is at present able to judge, the Conven- n
On will give us Constitution, by no means per-
ct nor uneIcePtlossble, but one decidedly an 4
lprovement upon the old one, and more in &C. a
'rdance with the progressive spirit of the age.
As 10 the "report Of a conversation during the
Hing Of the yeas and nays" your correspondent
zee certainly "insist upon being correct"
ceptng only rude figure Of speech, by the I
legate from Dsviess, which he corrected in h
bsequeat letter. +
The "unkindest cut of al" however, from our !
end OF the Yeorpan, is the accusations of chad
ste and lack of"personsl dignity" for if there
anything your correspondent particularly plumes I
nself upon, il is the uniform dignity, taste and
Brtesy which he has ever maintained In coutro.
