DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.
Tom l.. johnson Did Not Have Plain
Sailing at All the Meetings.

SANDUSKY, o., Sept. 1.-The delegates
to the Democratic State convention met by
congressional districts at o'clock this
afternoon in twenty-one places to select
their respective members Of the different
committees. The Johnson men met with
more opposition than they expected. They
had, anticipated fight for members of the
new State central committee. but part of
the districts carried their opposition still
further, notably in selecting some men,
bers of the committee on resolutions that
are radically opposed to the Johnson plat
form 1t is claimed that there will be a
minority report on resolutions signed by
about one-third of the twenty-one members
of that committee unless the Johnson men
make concessions. Meantime there is dis
pute as to the factional complexion of the
State central committee, while some OF
those called insurgents succeeded in get
ting on to these committees.
The most notable meetings were those of
the First and Second districts. which in
cIude Cincinnati and which were the most
disorderly known in the State for years.
This was partly ascribed to the fact that
there were no seats in the halls where these
delegations met and the delegates could
the more easily surround the chairman and
secretaries in the disputes over the counts
kept by the secretaries. The roll was called
on everything in these districts and the
delegates all kept tallies.
The result i'm both districts was very close.

MIMIC AND REAL WAR.

The mimic war now going on between
portion Of the army and navy may have
some beneficial results as a training school
demonstrating the comparative strength of
the two arms or the ability of coast de-
lenses and land forces to repel real in
vasion by a powerful naval force. What
ever the preliminary plans or the maneu-
vers on both sides may be. they cannot be
more than an imaginary reproduction of
those Of real war which depend so largely
on the accidents of time and occasion and
on unforeseen developments. In estimating
the results Of a sham battle it is impossible
to tell with accuracy what those of a real
one would be, with conditions changing
every moment. Torpedoes and shells which
are supposed to explode with deadly results
might not explode at all, and armored ships
which in the sham battle are supposed to
be sunk by the fire from forts might in a
real attack. run past them with compare
lively little injury. In the celebrated fight
between the Kearsarge and the Alabama a
shell from the latter which lodged in the
woodwork of the Kearsarge might, If 1T had
exploded, have changed the fortunes of the
day, but it failed to explode. BY the ordi-
nary expectations of war Admiral Farra-
CUTS whole fleet ought to have been sunk
by the fire OF the forts and the channel tor
pedoes in Mobile bay, yet he ran them all
and captured Mobile with the loss of but
one ship and monitor. 1t was then that
he used the phrase, Damn the torpedoes, -
and in fact only one of them exploded. Most
war experts would have predicted, If not
the destruction of, at least terrible punish
ment for Admiral Deweys squadron in an
attack on the combined Spanish squadron
and forts at Manila bay. The world knows
how different the result was
Whatever the conclusions from the mimic
war now going on may be, it is probable
that both our navy and our coast defenses
are, as yet, far from being equal to a real
war with a great naval power This may
never come, yet We must be prepared for it.

undiscriminating phraseology so common
with the average political leader. He de-
tects spots on the bright surface OF things,
words OF warning. He has to have the
usual word about envy eating into the
hearts of the less fortunate. and II Is no
doubt proper that he should, but he de-
clines to be dishonest enough with hlmself
and others to maintain that IL all Is wen
and just as IL should be. Consolidating capi-
tai where ii tends TO monopoly must come
under state regulation and the national au-
thority is the only one adequate to the
task. But his views on this point have been
before given to the public.

One New York newspaper correspondent
writing about the Duchess OF Marlborough
born Vanderbilt. says: Chased as one of
the greatest beauties of the 400 before her
marriage. she has improved with age"
Another writer says: Never by any stretch
of the imagination could the duchess have
been regarded as beautiful; her face to-day
Is plain and undressing" There is not
necessarily any contradiction in these two
statements. Note that the first merely
says she was one OF the best looking of
the 400.

form, with the further declaration that in

tons that the silver question is rot now an

This was accompanied by a statement
that the time has come to recognize that
other issues are now at the front and that
this plank is offered as one acceptable to
all.

AS the United States would let no 9th
