OHIO DEMOCRATS.
The Conservatives VIII Control the
state Convention This Week

state Convention This Week
Columbus, O., May 23.-The demo-
cratic state convention will be held
here next Tuesday and wednesday.
There have been contests In most OF
the IS counties for Hearst delegates.
All who are opposed to Hearst are
classed as conservatives. and as they
have a majority Of the uncontested
delegates, they will no doubt decide
the contests against the Hearst con-
testants and control the convention.
The conservatives are. however. d.
vided in their presidential preferences
between Col. James Kilbourne. of Co
lumbus, who was the democratic can
didate for governor three years ago;
Judge Judson Harmon. Of Cincinnati.
who was attorney general under Pres
ident Cleveland. and Joseph w. Folk,
Of Missouri. Mayor Tom L. johnson,
Of Cleveland, Is heading the boom in
Ohio for Folk. Mayor Johnson, who
was the candidate for governor last
year, and John II. Clarke. who was
then the democratic candidate for
senator against the late M. A. Hanna.
are delegates from the Twenty first
Ohio district to the st. Louis conven-
ton.
Among those mentioned for dele
gates at large are ex-Congressman
John A. Mcmahon, Of Dayton; Mayor
Edward II. Moore, Of Youngstown;
/ Gen. z. B. Finley. of Bucyrus; Walter
B. Richie, Of Lima: Judge ], y, Lin,
deman, Of Lima; Melville q. ingalls,
Of Cincinnati; William 8. Thomas. OF
Springfield; John l.. Zimmerman, OF

Cassingham, of Coshocton; Abraham
l.. Patrick, of New Philadelphia: Gen
A. J. Warner. of Marietta; John q
welty, of Canton, and ex-Congress,
man John J. Lentz, OF Columbus
There is no doubt that the conserva.
tives will name the delegates and the
state ticket, as well as dictate ths
resolutions.
No instructions for any candidate
are expected, but either Kilbourne OF
Harmon will be endorsed a. "Ths
Ohio favorite" and the delegates will
be instructed ito vote as q unit when

his text the passage in Corinthians
which reads, ''But Covet Earnestly the
Best Gifts" The speaker deplored the
fact that Christianity at times had to
apologize for christendom. Christian
ity as a system of truth is perfect and
has a peculiar fitness to furnish needed
inspiration. 1t inspires aspiration.
thereby rendering one Of the highest
services of our system of faith Mr..
Davies remarked that in our efforts for
high attainment of being rather than
seeming, we do well to listen to divine
counsel and to turn our eyes unto God Z
ideals. God is the divine author of
the holy word and he is our father.
and he cherishes for rs only-that which
is for our highest good. He would
have us hitch our chsriots to a
star, and set our hearts on Things
above and covet earnestly the very best
things. Tine high hopes of youth.
these day dreams of boyhood, are
neither to be discouraged or oespised,
for they owe their inspiration to and
are doubtless inspired by God. The
best things are to be fourd within the
divine will for us. Youth, coupled
with health and ability, is to be con-
graduated The world lies before such
for conquest. Some choose a good time
as the end and aim of life. Others
choose money. Others would win
fame. But character is the only thing
that endures. and what we are is more
than all we may be given. Ths best
gift is manhood and this alone is nee
essary to success of the highest order.
A great character is constituted OF
love. sacrifice and service. To some
the program of life seems hard. but
that of love, sacrifice and service is the
truest and happiest existence possible
to man. There is not one laugh to-
many and no joyous hours to spare.
Living for self is to low an ambition,
and when the earthly pilgrimage q
over it will be found that he and he
alone is wise who has placed character
before conquest. worth before wealth
and spiritual health before physical
hsppiness-
