scratic state convention adjoY ed early
in the evening, having coni Ated it's
work. The two allied conventions, the
Silver Republicans and Populists, COM
pleted their work slightly in advance.
The three factions were, after much
controversy, able to agree on one plat
form, with free silver as the main idea,
and one ticket, composed Of two Demo-
Gratis, two Silver Republicans and one
Populist. The ticket will be placed on
the official ballot under the name
Democrat" When this became known
there was split in the Populist
convention, the middle of the
road faction, under the leadership of A.
W. @. Weeks, walking out. The seced-
ers numbered probably 100 of the dele
gates. General J. B. Weaver's faction
remained with the Democrats where
upon he was bitterly denounced. But
for this rapture the union of all the free
silver forbes would have been complete.
The ticketsis composed as follows: Gov
ernor, F.E. White, (Dem.); lieutenant
governor, B. A. Plummer, (Sil. Rep. };
judge supreme court, L. j. Kinne,
(Dem.); railroad commissioner, s. E.
Grain, Pop. J; superintendent of in

ernor, was formerly a member of con-

johnson quilted the room" happy parallel in
the recent biography Of Jowett one OF Johnsons
idolaters comes to mind here.
DR.. Hill observes that Johnson's willingness to
have his prayers and Medtations published
almost passes belief yet he is constrained TO ada
that "his character gains much more than IL loses
by this full publications. and he prints the de-
votional pieces in their entirety. They make I'M
pressive reading. one through these
grave pages the image of a man destined to IL
dolence from his birth. and then triumphing
over its snares through constant prayer and
effort II does not matter that trivialities crept
into those prayers. The point to recolcct is that
Johnson's conception Of Christian duty involved
a close surveillance Of trivial things, and if he
lots down a memorandum concerning his tcacup
on the same page that bears a fervent petition
to Providence for help and comfort, it simply
means that he was going about his religious life
with as much seriousness, as much attention to
details, as marked his literary abors. In April,
LOB, he records the beginning or the second
volume Of his dictionary and proceeds thus 90
God who hast hitherto supported me, enable me
to proceed in this labor. and in the whole task
Of my present state; that when shall render up
at the last day account Of the talent commit
ted to me, ! may receive pardon, for the sake OF
Jesus Christ. Amen"
What gives this prayer and others like 1t re-
markable vitality is Johnson's profound sinceri-
ty So far from their value being lessened by
their frequent triviality, they are strengthened
and enriched. because through the almost naive
explicitness Of the prayers get that much
closer to Johnsons daily habit. That is so
clearly and so persuasively drawn In DR.. Hills
