RGmors of desperate conflict between
Senator Thurman and Governor Hendricks
for the control of the Ohio delegation TO
the National Democratic Convention are
given TO the pnbIic by correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The plan Il TO
have the State convention called TO meet
after the National convention has been
called, and 70 select the delegates by con-
gentions in the congressional districts. The
correspondent thinks IL the delegation were
to be chosen now It would be equally d.
vided between Hezdrieks and Thurmsn.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL Is

The INFLUENCE OF A PRESIDENT Now.
If my man has observed the Influence Of the
hes man OF corporation, he will understand
auu appreciate what W are about to say in re-
gard to the influence of President, 10 mold
ing to himself the men around him. As is the
president Of railroad, SO Is every officer aud
employee, BY rule. The loose or the sound
morals begin at the top, and run down through
the whole. As Is the editoriu. chief OF great
newspaper, 80 are the subordiuates. Men who
stand at the head OF great orgauz :,ions or
great interests bring around them naturally
men of their own kind, who take their cue 10
action, and their l0ue ln character and motive,
from thcu. i kc master. like mau--aD old
proverb based upon old aud mature obserVa-
ton. Now, it is just as impossible TO have
high-toned Administration, with low-toned
President, as it is to have high toned house
hold with oater at its head. The thing is
unuatura! and impossible. Iu the next Presi-
dental election, the people really desire, we
believe, to vote for, and elect, a gentleman and
a statesman-a man who will associate himself
10 Government ouly with gentlemen and states
men, and who will send only such to represent
the Government abroad. The political and
social tone at Washington is disgustingy low.
Ii does not represent the people OF America.
1t represents the party politicians OF America,
aud them only. They are our bane aDd our
disgrace; and if they are permitted to hold
their i, fuence through another Adulnlstra
ton we shall have ourselves to blame.-Or.
