 The Democratic State Convention here today had more prominent men as delegates than any Convention of the Democrats in Ohio for many years. It was also otherwise distinguished. If had no slate to break on the State ticket, or 1t would have been smashed in the so-called "contesb for principles rather than for men,"
 The nomination of Colonel Kilbourne was appropriately called the one Of "spontaneous combustion"
 Howells, Hidy, Alshire and Holman were favorites at great odds from the start. Young was sprung as surprise and nominated over Shoots, who had been such a favorite that others would not previously enter the race TOT ClerK of the Supreme Court
 The representative of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson was both temporary and per- manent chairman of the Convention. and the delegates repeatedly quoted Senator Hanna by shouting "Salen knows mis business" It was currently reported that Johnson desired the nom- ination of F. s. Monnett as Attorney General, and that the Mclean men wanted Monnett defeated. At any rate the defeat of Monnett was so decisive as lO US d LSdtuh' OA NAN WI Monnett, as Attorney General had brought suits against the Standard oil Company and other corporations to cancel their charters under the anti trust laws. He had sought third term nomination from the Republicans on the issue that he should be retained in that office to continue these prosecu- tions. After his defeat for the third nomination in 1899. he supported Bryan in 1900 on the antitrust issue and can vassed Ohio and other States with Bryan. Judge Smalley in presnting Monnett's name. said he was known from the Golden Gate in San rFancis- co to the Hell Gate of New York as the enemy of the trusts.
 Tn the alleged stampede flor ,princi- ples rather than men" the most strik- ing turn of the Convention was on Bryan. The most bitter things were said of his leadership in the Commit tee on Resolutions this morning, where 1t was insisted that his name should not mentioned. and that there should be no reference to either of the na- tional platforms on which he made his campaigns. After this plan had been agred upon one of the tweAty one members of that Committee offered a minority report. re-sffirming the Kan sas City platform, and expressing con fidence in RrVau and he received only

inheritance. These voters are chosen representatives to perform the single function of electing the lawful officers of government.
 The trust confided to them IS per- sonal, and can neither be sold, or del- egated, or transmitted by inheritance. or by will to any other person. 1t Is this quality of non-transmlssibility that distinguishes it from the regal form of inheritable power, and marks the line of the impossible gulf between regal government and Democratic gov ernment. The voters, az class. or body. have certain physical conditions. such as age and sex, that arc neces- sary qualifications, and certain moral and political qualifications that are personal and independent of heritable blood.
 To make blood the medium of trans- hitting the electoral power from fath- CT to son, is to uproot, from its foun- dations, the whole system of Demo- cratic government, and to reinstate the system and the form of regal govern ment.
 The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend ments have no more to do with this subject tban any other part of the or ganic law.
 The transmission of the electoral power by the blood of inheritance from father to son, would destroy all dis tinction between regal government and democracy. and would throw the door wide open for return to the system that the American revolution abolished. The steps would be few. and would be rapidly taken, to the complete restora- tion of monarchy. so soon as we give to any class of voters the power to qualify their sons as voters by inheri- tance. In this case, it is the first step that tells. with fatal and irrevocable effect. The argument is irresistible.

CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE.
The United States Will Do Everything Pos
sible to Assist the Island In Form.
ing Government.

Washington, Sept. 5.-War depart
ment officials believe that the Cubans
will be able to establish their indie
pendent form Of government by May
or June. The administration does
not propose to countenance any in
reference with the natural progress
Of events in this direction. While it
has been repeatedly urged that this
country was placing obstacles in the
way of the Cubans in forming their
government, officials Of the depart
ment say that the expressions of Sec
rotary Root, while he was in Wash
ington last week. show that the presi-
dent and the administration will do
everything possible to assist the Gu
bans in the work which they have in
hand. What may develop in case the
Cubans find self-government unsatis-
factory and are unable to maintain
order and preserve peace and carry
the machinery of their government is
not discussed by officials at Washing

A BIG FIRE AT EMpoRIA.
4 Large Number Of Residences, q Planning
Mill, Lumber Yard and
Church Burned.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 5.-If it had
not been for the providential inter-
position of the wind the greater part
Of Emporia would be laid in ruins by
a fire yesterday afternoon. As it is
q large number Of residences, a plan
ing mill, a lumber yard and the beau
tiful First Methodist church lie in,
ruins and the damage will closely ap-
proach 100000.
The fire was communicated by a
spark from a Santa Fe engine to the
sheds of the Crystal Ice company.
This soon burned, as did the planning
mill of E. s. Sprague. There was a
strong wind and the water supply was
short and it seemed as though the
whole town was doomed. An entire
block was burned, when the wind sud-
denly changed and the fire was got
under control.
Soon after the fire department had
returned to its quarters another alarm
was sounded. Some sparks had been
carried by the wind to other buildings
and soon another block of buildings,
including the First Methodist church,
had burned. Two firemen were
caught under the falling walls of the
church, but escaped with slight in
juries.

Universal Peace Conference.

Glasgow, Sept. 1.-THE Universal
Peace conference opened a four
days session yesterday. DR.. True
blood, an American delegate, said the
peace sentiment in America was the
strongest since 1915. The federal
government was absolutely commit
ted to The Hague peace conference.
The friends of peace were now en-
deavoring to induce all the American
republics to draft n mutual peace
arbitration treaty, pledging them
selves to refer all disputes to The
Hague. There was good prospect of
securing the signatures of the states
which were not now represented at
The Hague.

Although the house was fairly EN-

Der. The most rigid system of sim
plicity prevails there and sentiment
is not allowed to qualify the stern re-
quirements of the case. The only per-
sons admitted to the sick room yes
terday other than the doctors and
attendants were Mrs. Mckinley and
Secretary Cortelyou.
Although the president has been
pronounced out of danger no member
Of the cabinet has yet been within
the sick room, nor has the vice presi-
dent or those closest to the conf
dence of the president, such as Sena-
tor Hanna and Judge Day, seen the
president. But these restrictions es-
tablished by the doctors are merely
for the sake of encouraging every
particle of energy in the patient, and
relatives and friends alike accept the
rigorous policy as decidedly for the
best. Secretary Cortelyou sees the
president much as the doctors and
nurses do. There is never breath
Of business, public or private, and at
no time has the slightest reference
to anything connected with the presi-
dents duties been made.
The following bulletin was issued
by the presidents physicians at lo:3o
p. m: "rhe condition OF the presi-
dent is unchanged in all important
particulars. His temperature is 1906;
pulse, ia; respiration, 2s. When the
operation was done on Friday last it
was noted that the bullet had car
ried with it short distance beneath
the skin fragment OF the presi-
dents coat. This foreign material
was, of course, removed, but a slight
irritation OF the tissues was pro-
duced, the evidence Of which has ap-
peared only tonight. 1t has been
necessary, on account OF this slight
TO remove few stitches
and partially open the skin wound.
This incident cannot give rise to
other complications, but it is commu-
nicated to the public, as the surgeons
In attendance wish to make their bull
letins entirely frank. In consequence
Of this separation of the edges OF the
surface wound the healing Of the
same will be somewhat delayed. The
president IL now well enough to be-
yin to take nourishment by the

The dramatic phase Of the situation
here is rapidly disappearing. Plans

rapidly assuming normal conditions.
Indiana day at the exposition set for
Friday of this week was indefinitely
postponed when the president was
shot, but the original programme
vas restored yesterday at the sug-
sston of Senator Fairbanks, who
says such course would not have

loubt of the presidents recovery.
The exposition has suffered severely

he managers are now organizing for
great thanksgiving celebration,
which they expect not only to prove
great card for the fair, but which
hey hope will be made a day of ma
