r1ARYSVILLE CONVENTION.

We clip the following from the staff
in Toledo Blade:
Conspicuous in the crowd is Judge
Duncan Dow, of Bellefontaine, the au-
thor of the Dow liquor law; Represen-
tative Willis, of Ada, who distinguish
ed himself in leading the fight against
the Cox ripper; George Eichelbarger,
of Urbana, perhaps the best known
politician in the district; the nervous
and scholarly T4ehr, president of Ada
College; big, good-natured, and lazy
Tom Houpt, of Findlay; John Quincy
Adams Campbell, the veteran Belle
fontaine editor; George Carpenter and
George Donovan of Delaware; the one
well known through the race he made
for attorney general last year, and the
other through his affiliation with. the
Knights of Pythias; Frank McColloch,
ex.member of the Board of Public
Works, who would be better off had he
never entered politics, and George
Talbot of Urbana, now Treasurer of
Champaign county, and never known
to miss political convention.
With such political scrappers, and
with such peculiar conditions existing,
the end cannot be foretold, but indica-
tions point to number of ballots.

CHANGE OF FIRM.

Mr.. jenkins, of the Interstate Savings
Co., received telegram Wednesday,
informing him of his appointment as
assistant engineer of the Baltimore &
Ohio r. r., and will at once enter on
his duties. MIR. G. M. johnson will con-
tinue as the representative of the Inter-
state Savings company here.
Every one who knows Mr.. Jenkins
is glad of Jenkins good fortune, yet
all are sorry to lose him and his estim-
able wife from our city. They had just
moved into Mrs. Jennie JOrdan's home,
and Mrs. Jordan was congratulating
herself on her good renters, knowing
everything would be well cared for
while she was in the old country. Mr..
and Mrs. Jenkins made many friends
during their few months stay in our

WAS II JUST LUCK?

Some time during the month of Feb
ruary, Mr.. w. B. Campbell left this
city to made trip for the Chicago
Basket Co. A day or so later letter
containing draft from the firm came
to Bellefontaine and Mr.. J. @. A. Camp
bell at once forwarded it to w. B. at
Xenia, at the same time, not being
sure where he might be at that date,
mailed letter to him at Washington
c. H., notifying where the draft had
been sent. Wednesday, April 10th, the
letter sent to Washington G. H., was
returned to writer, having been open
ed. The words "Stolen $40. Recov-
cred $780,, and signed by the post
master were on the envelope. 1t will
be remembered that Washington G. H.
had post Office burglary some time
since, and about three weeks later the
missing letters were found in barn.
Who will say it was just luck that the
draft was sent to Xenia and the notice
of that fact to Washington G. Fl.

APPLES OF GOLD.

The following letter from subscrib-
er in the far Northwest, is one to cheer,
and will give pleasure to the editor, as
words from christian friend. 1t was
received this morning, and without the
Editors permission we give it to our
readers Editor pro TEN.
SHELDON AND CAMPBELL.
Public criticism has been so center
ed upon Charles M. Sheldon for his ef-
fort to call attention to the life OF
Christ, and the need of following his
example, as to suggest paraphrase on
the language of Peter, after the heal
ing of the lame man, "Why marvel ye
at this, or why look ye so earnestly on
us, as though by our own power or
holiness we can walk sin His steps?"
Such general criticism shows what
lack of faith on the earth there is to-
day. Else why is it thought incredible
that one engaged in legitimate and
useful pursuit, can live according to
the plan an allwise God has decreed for
him? One perfect example was given,
and grace that would enable man to
follow that example, was purchased
for him at a costly price,-therefore to.
do as "Jesus would" in any avocation,
is truly reasonable service.
A copy of the Topeka Capital, edited
by G. M. Sheldon, and the BellefOn-
taine Republican were considered side
by side, the one large daily, the other
local county paper. They presented
merits in common, each in its own
sphere.
We notice in both the exclusion of
Objectionable advertisements, of re-
ports of events which degrade society,
and the absence of what is termed
slang, and of profane language. No
favor is shown amusements or enter
tainments that demoralize. Without
the slightest suggestion from anyone
and with no motive of policy, have
these comparisons been made, to show
the contrast between these papers, and
those whose editors make no attempt
to do as ''Jesus would" Many of the
dailies, some county papers, and many
of the popular magazines taken and
read by Christians, cater to the popu-
lar demand for advertisements for in
toxicating drinks, tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes. And there is tendency in
some of them toward the use of lam
guage not entirely free from profanity.
The writer is not member of the
political party of which the REPUBLIC
AN is an organ-in fact, its columns
have at times contained criticisms q
little severe, because of this political
difference. But this does not at all
debar from an expression of approval
of clean journalism, nor from giving a
word of encouragement to one who has
for many years toiled earnestly to edit
a county newspaper that will meet the
needs of the best citizens, and in no
wise detract from pure morals. Let
our thanks and words of cheer be Civ
en- now instead of waiting to place our
tributes of respect upon the casket
when the ear has ceased to hear or
need the sounds of earth.
May Sheldon and Campbell in their
respective callings be found doing as
Jesus would, and walking SIN His
Steps," SUBSCRIBER.
