THE NEW CONS TITUTION,

The voters of Kentucky will be
called upon at the next August cleo
ton to select delegates to conven
ton to revise, alter and amend thu
present Constitution of Kentucky
and SO important matter should b.
thoroughly discussed, both through
the press and ON the rostrum, SO that
the delegates selected may be en-.
lightened AS TO the wishes of the
people.
We are now living under the third
Constitution. The first was formed
at Danville, Ky, in 1892. Sam lel
Mcdowell was president Of that con
vention, which was composed o.
delegates representing only nine
counties, which was the number Of
counties then in the State.
BY the provisions of that Constitu-
tion,a vote was to be taken in the years
1897 and 1898 as to calling another
convention to revise or amend that
Constitution. The vote cast in thos Q
years was in favor Of calling another
convention and accordingly o second
convention was held in 1899 at Frank
fort, Ky, which in the meantime had
been selected as the seat of govern
ment. The State was then composed
of % counties, and Alexander S.
Bullitt was president OF that conven-
ton. This, the second Constitution
of Kentucky, remained in force from
the 18th day of August, 1899, to the
18th day OF June, 1850, at which time
the present or third Constitution was
adopted. JAS. Guthrie, OF Louisville,
was president of the last convention,
and the State was then composed OF
106 counties. Only three Of the dele
gates TO this convention are now liv-
ing, viz: David Meriweather, of jeff
erson county; Willis B. Machen, of
Lyon county, and John d. Morris, of
Christian.
With the provisions of this our
present Constitution every intelligent
voter is presumed to be familiar, and
having solemnly determined at two
successive elections that this Consti-
tuition should be revised and altered |
so as to better represent, after lapse
of 40 years, the changed condition
and sentiment of the people, some |
reasons must exist for this call. The |
writer was voter at the election held
in lS49 for delegates to the conven-
ton which met in October of that
year. Christian county was thor
oughly canvassed by men of ability,
and the reasons and necessity of a
change in the organic law OF the State
we're explained and urged upon the
'oters by the various candidates seek
ng the honor Of seat in that body,
md we will suggest that it is singu-
ar fact that up to this time but little
las been said by either the press or
as to the changes that
'hould now be made, and in order to
provoke a discussion of these impor-
ant matters, is the prime object OF
his communication. And with your
permission the writer may in future
communications present some Of the
easons that have influenced him to
avor call of the convention.

In 1885 Hopkinsville, by very inn
perfect census, showed a population OF
$3.50. Unless tho present census
shows 5000 in the city aud suburbs il
will be because the census is incom-
plete. The registered vote Of the
district is 1880 and the listed vote
fully 1000 According 10 these fig
ures there ought 20 be population
Of 10000 within three miles of the
Court House. Every citizen should
have local pride enough to cooperate
with the enlunerators in getting full
count and thereby give liopkinsyille
all OF the advantages to be derived
from On increased population.

According to the confession of the
party organ, 800 of the alleged Re-
publican majority has already disap-
peared in the light of the registration
figures and the rest of it is only saved
by claiming 1,l46 of the 1900 white
majority of the county and five hun
dred more votes than any Republi-
can ever polled in the past. Not only
this, but they claim the colored Dem
Gratis also in their calculations. In
fact they claim the earth, as usual,
and the fullness thereof.
