The Ohio state convention
last week, by the decisive
and overwhelming vote of GA
6, refused to express con
fidence in Mr.. Bryan or to
reaffirm the Kansas City
platform. In view Of the fact
that Mr.. Bryan isnot can
didate, holds no public office,
is merely a private citizen,
there was really no occasion
for the convention to take ac-
ton in regard to him ; but,
when the convention refused
to reafirm the Kansas City
platform, which among other
things declared for "the free,
unlimited and independent
coinage of silver at ratio of
16 to l, without the consent
of any other nation" that
was significant. 1t means
that the democracy of Ohio
has realized that ii will be
folly to again attempt to con-
duct a campaign hampered by
a heresy, which has twice
caused national defeat, and
which has been productive
only of discord in democratic
ranks ; it means that sober
sense and sound judgment
have again been enthroned !;
that the party desires to re-
turn to its moorings and dis
card the wild theories which
are not part of its creed and
should never have been in
corporated in its platform.
Democracy stands for honest
government and equal
rights. 1t does not believe
in favoring trusts, combina-
tons and corporations at the
expense of the masses. The
BULLETIN has never lost faith,
has always believed the
change would come. Ohio
democrats have cleared the
deck for action, and every
state in the Union should
follow their example.

to have forgotten all his bad tricks. He

see, as long as a horse does not come first
he Is without a record and Is eligible to go
in any class. But as soon as he finishes
first he gets a mark and can't start out OF
his class. What 1 wanted Tom to do was
to trot fast enough to take second money
Somebody else could take first. I educated
/ Tom to come second. and he got so know

were white or gray. and they all had black
skins and hoofs. And when you see a
horse with white hair and a black skin yon
may be sure he is tough and generally has
a temper and a lot OF sense. That was the
way with Tom Paine. He had the en-
DURANGO of a steam engine, a temper Of
nitroglycerin and a brain like Machiavelli.
He was bred by an old farmer in Kan
sas. who sconed at religion and swore by
Paine the agnostic. He named the colt for
his favorite writer. AS a 2 and 3 year old
Tom broke nearly every cart and buggy in
the county he was raised in. Everybody
distrusted him. and as a 4-year-old he was

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The story of the Noachian Deluge must
be interpreted In the light Of the yet earlier
narratives OF Genesis. For a few moments
glance at the ground covered In preceding
articles. Mankind. the creation Of Cod. Is
represented as falling from the first estate
Of innocence, through disobedienee to Gods
requirements. as separated from the
Father and thrust out OF Eden by mis-
deeds. In whatever light you may regard
IL. these are essentially basic facts upon
which rest solemn and abiding truths The
sad consequences were intending. bearing
fruit In hatred and murder. From the muir
derer springs a line that in many ways is
projected IN spirit even into our own day.
The murdered brother is succeeded by Seth,
in connection with whom 1t Is said, then
began men to call upon the name OF Je-
hovah.' The two lives are distinctly
marked. one tending toward material pros
perity and greater sinfulness; the other
toward the spiritual more than the mate
rial; yet both steadily retrograded- Reading
