Editor’s Note: We are republishing excerpts from the 1891 Woodford Sun. The Constitutional Convention of 1890-91, which enacted the constitution that remains intact today with numerous amendments since, began meeting in September 1890. It was presided over by Ambassador Cassius M. Clay of Madison County.
The excerpts related to this event will be the focus of our Clippings series. For historical purposes, we reprint the Clippings “warts and all,” which means they include the language and terminology of the time. As such, readers may encounter derogatory and racist stereotypical words within the original excerpts.
