BY AUTHOR OF DAVID HARUM
Edward Moves Westcott's Philosophy of
 Life in Few Sayings

From Ainslee's Magazine for September.
 Of mother, Edward Moves Westcott said: "She has a baby, most persuasive one which permeates and colors her con- versation. so that she sees all things through baby darkly."
 At one time he wrote: 1T have come to think that the thing I most desire I shall never have, so now with superstitous dread I try to cheat fate by refraining from setting my heart on anything. Dst it escape me-
 Again he writes: "If I were ten years younger" that phrase was almost habitual with him, "I might find interest in flowers here," Asheville, April 1894, ''but all the flowers that have cared for or ever shall, bloomed long ago. If there be one immor- telle among the lot. I am glad and thank ful-and God bless the person who keeps it for my sake.''
 But what is consistency? It is merely living up to others conception of our nat ural course of conduct. I've say of one, Well he is the last person I should ever have thought would do that!' whereas the mental and moral progress or retrogression of that man. going on within himself, has led most logically to the sequence so un> expected to others. Now what could you expect of me?' he supplemented, whimsi- cally, man whose name is No-Yes," and then he laughed in the self f-humoring way of one who repeats joke oft told be- fore. Look at my hands. too,'' he added, holding them out frankly for inspection. 'One is strong, well developed, capable; the other is almost effeminate. Could any thing be more inconsistent%'
 Heaven is full of days, all coming this way!' He wrote this once in a birthday book opposite his own date, September 24, with an air of victory and defiance of the future-although such moods were rare.
 He was more prone to say, "Let enjoy ourselves, and let nothing good get away, for when we are dead we are so very dead" and then would follow a gentle laugh at his own philosophy.
 You are old enough to know better" is the way a friend approached him.
 "Old enough to know better" he repeat ed, "are We old enough for that?" Of death:
 Death is hard fact to face and does never look like our imaginings. Tears will overflow philosophy. All love involves and ends in them; but we weep for the most part, and, in one view of it. always for , ourselves

EDITOR JOHN R MILAN NAMED FOR
 GOVERNOR OF OHIO BY DEMOCRATS
ocontinued From First Page,


 present attorney general of Ohio for his earnest efforts to enforce the statutes of Ohio against such illegal combinations and pledge the nominee of this convention for attorney general to the enforcement of the statutes of the state against them.
 "Fifteenth. We demand a cessation of national bonded debt building to curse of posterity.
 Economy Demanded
 ."Sixteenth. We demand a return to rigid economy in the administration of public af- fairs and a proper reduction of all fees and salaries.
 seventeenth. We demand a reduction of taxation and more equitable distribu- tion of it's burdens.
 Eighteenth. We believe that honest po- ltical leaders are necessary and command the respect of the people and parties. Po- iitical bosses are to be deteSted and are inimical to our form of government. Bosses represent simply concentration of political power or a ring. They live and exist through jobs and schemes loaded upon the. taxpayers. They substitute their rule in their party for the rule of it's voters and visit political death upon any who re- fuse to bow to their dictation. They select the nominees. who, if elected remain their tools and administer their official powers in the interest of their bosses-not the people,"
 The platform then denounces republican bossism in Hamilton county and the state; deplores the frequent and outrageous exer- else of lynch law in Ohio and other states, especially against the colored citizens, and recommends the adoption of prompt and efficient measures to suppress such unwarranted acts of violence and recom- mends a constitutional amendment, pro- viding for the election of president vice. president and United States senators by a direct vote of tine people. " The Various Candidates
 The call of counties for nominations for governor brought out the names of Ex- Mayor James A. Rice of Canton, Colonel James Kilbourne of Columbus, Hon. Charles N. Haskell of Ottawa, James E. Seward of Mansfield. John R. Mclean of Cincinnati, and General 1. A. Sherwood of Toledo. ~

New York, August 9e.-The Shamrock had many visitors today as she lay at her an- chorage off Tompkinsville, Staten Island, but none was allowed on board. During the afternoon the spare main boom and other spars and sails were transferred to the yacht, and the main sail was bent.

Her regular trial spins, however, will not begin until the day after Designer Will Fife, Jr., arrives with Sir Thomas Lipton and his party on the Cam pania, which is expected to reach Quaran- tine before dark on Friday night.
