l Special to the JournaI-Miner. PHOENIR, Ariz, Oct. 10.-With absolutely no expression of enthusi- asm, and a sparse attendance in the galleries, principally would-be attaches, the Constitutional convention organ ized this afternoon by the election of George W. P. Hunt of Gila county, president, and A. W. Cole of Co., ehise county, chief clerk.
 The Radicals are in complete con- trol. In the proceedings was evil denced a wild scramble for the fat jobs by the Democrats, the Repub- ican counties being excluded from the committee-a appointed employees, in the face of a protest by Mulford Winsor of Yuma, who pleaded for economy and quick results.
 The standing committees were left for selection to a committee of thir- teen, which will make a report tomor- TOW. Ten of the most radical of the Democrats, and Hutchinson, Kingan and Curtis, Republicans, compose this vital committee.

a larger portion of our press than ever
before, when sensationalisrn liz ram
pant over all the land, when false
issues, shamelessly arrayed in words
never intended for ignoble use. are
manufactured for selfish ends, when

may be as transient and ephemeral as

courage invincihIe for truth, living ex-
amples that it is better to be right at
all times than to be popular some OF
the time. Senator johnson had that
courage, that fidelity that would deem
defeat a. victory IL in the right cause.
That Is the record, not only of his
public career, but as well his private
life.
His desire was to beneht humanity:
it was his ambition for twenty years
to become a member OF the United
States senate TO carry that desire into
effective legislation; and when that
ambition was at last realized. no man
was happier than he ~r more ready
to take upon his shoulders all the bur
dens and duties OF that high ofice.
Upon the trestle board of hope, he
had long before traced the design of
his cwn LIES edifice-a structure
which should be useful. and fair, and
true, and lofty. Patiently and faith
fully had he builded along those lines
until its fair proportions fore-shadow-
ed its future grandeur. And when 1t
had reached that stage OF completion
from whence he could clearly discern
the elimination of his endeavors. the
fruition Of his ambition and his hearts
