1T is said by those who heard the
Lightning Legislator" in the can.
Vass that be was bitterly opposed
to a Constitutional Convention, for
the reason that It would cost the

we have not changed, bat our
Lightning Legislator has-he
voted for The bill.

The Legislature has not, so tar,
done anything of material interest
to the State. There has been uu-
merous bills introduced aud referr-

Constitutional Convention bill con-
sumed a good deal OF time, aud il IS
an injury to the best interests of
tue taxpayers ofthe State.

The Vicksburg Herald is bitterly
opposed to the Constitutional Con-

ventiou. We think the Herald is
right 10 it's u~tterances OF opposition
to the convention scheme.

A REDEEMIEo VETO.


measures that wrrc wrong an
hurtfnl by the Legislature in th
past, bot much we are now willin.
TO forgive, for in bold aud mani.
language he has just sent to tina
body now in session a message We
toing The bill to provide for submit
ting the question of holding a Con
stltutiOnal Convention. The bill a,
we publish elsewhere, was passed
by a surprisingly large majority
and 1t lie not impossible that it vii.
pass over the veto.
The Governor assigns strong.
sensible and potent reasons fol
vetOing the measure. He doesn't
consider the present Constitution
so very Objectionable and obnox.
ious a. to require such a political
%uphcaval as is fOreshadSwed by the
proposed measure. He sees no
reason why such amendments as
desired could not be Submitted in
the manner provided by that in
strument, by legislative enactment.
The Governor predicts, and that
wisely, We think, that the public
mind of the State is not prepared
for such an agitation, and agitation
itself would be d~eplOrable in per-
forming such a serious task in re.
forming the sacred compact of the
people. Not prepared because not
harmonious. This, We believe, is
one of tue strongest arguments the
Governor advances. There is scarce
IS an amendment discussed upon
which there is not very decided
differences OF opinion. Under such
circumstances 1t would certainly be
a hazardous undertaking, and very
dangerous one, to turn the people
loose at this juncture, just on the
eve of a Presidential election, to
enter into a traternal political war
fare to decide marked issues of
opinion in forming ii new Constitu-
ton. The Governor also truthfully
says that the mere fact of this bill
proposing to submit to the people
the question OF holding a Conven.
ton at all negatives the idea that
such a thing is imperatively de-
manded.
AS TO the matter of expense,
which is AN important item, he esti-
mates that a Convention would not
cost less than tho cost of one which
framed the present Constitution,
which was $2I3, 600. We have be-
fore stated that the cost would not
be less than 100000, and we now
very seriously doubt it costing less
than $l5O,O0O.
We score a chalk line for the
Governor on this veto. We
"wouldn't have thought it," but we
are ~asreea5ly disappointed, and
hope the bill will not pass. We will
state also, in behalf of the Cover.
nor, that he has placed himself on
safe footing by recommending, that
# it is desirable to limit the term
Of Governor to II term it can be
done by a plank in the Democratic
platform to that effect. or course,
he can hardly expect to be called
again to that high position, but this !
$ a very nice suggestion as a mat. '
Ter of delicacy. |
