SHERIFF Altekruse, on Tuesday took
Jos. Kline to the Penitentiary at Colum-
bus, there to spend his life, and the first
half of each of the first FIVE years in SOL
itary confinement.
In this paper we give Judge Meyers
charge to the jury and also the sentence.
1t will be seen that the learned judge re-
fleets severely upon the action OF the
jury, it appearing to the Court that the
only proper verdict possible under the
circumstances was either guilty or not
gHilty.
1t would seem, however, that, as is 80
commonly the case in a jury tria!, the
verdict was a compromise. We learn
that on retiring the jury stood six for
conviction and six for acquittal, the latter
claiming the guilt was not sufficiently
clear from the proof to warrant verdict
OF guilty. In this way they stood and
were likely to stand. In addition one of
the jurors, Mr.. Perdue, was quite ill, be-
seechins his fellow jurors to agree upon
verdict that he might get home In
deed his condition was such as to seri-
GUS y alarm his fellow jurors. This, with
other considerations, we apprehend, had
somewhat to do in causing the Compro
mise verdict that was finally rendered.
The gentlemen composing the jury in
the Kline case, were men of fair intelli.
genCe, snd good citizens, and we deem it
proper to give these few words by way
of explanation and in justice to them,
1t may be proper too, to say in this con-
necSion, that there are citizens who hon.
estly doubt the guilt of young Kline; ad-
mitting that, while circumstances are
against him, they are not sufficient to
establish guilt beyond a doubt. 1t is
claimed too, by some, that, ifthe defense
could have got in the proofit would have
appeared that Kline, the father, was a
habitual op,um-eater, and hat the young
man too was somewhat Of victim to the
poisonous drug.

THE OHIO PLATFORM.


The platform of the Ohio Democracy
go far as it relates to general or national
subjects, contains two expressions OF
opinion which undoubtedly meet the
common sense views of the Democratic
party. On the subject Of the tariff, the
Ohio Democrats declare in favor of:
"A,tariff for revenue levied and adjust
ed in its details with view to equality in
the public burdene and the encourage.
ment of productive industries without
monopolies, and we favor the appoint
ment Of commission to suggest method
of revision which will accomplish this
result"
This is the common sense way to meet
a question essentially of business char.
aCter; and we are glad to see that the
Ohio Democracy took this stand rath er
than indorse the alluring free trade theo-
ries of Mr.. Frank Hurd, Of whom we
speak with great respect, for we know
hin to be statesman and lawyer of the
highest order of capacity. Mr.. Hurd
would dispose Of the tariff question by a
sweeping general declarations; possibly
as sound as the Sermon on the Mount,
but one that does not adjust itself to ex-
listing business conditions, The Ohio
Democracy passing this by, plant them.
selves on the doctrine the tariff is busi-
ress question, and any change in the ex-
listing rate of duties must be tht result oi
patient and nonest investigation. That
the present tariff covers steal ,as fragrant
and awkward as any system of larceny
ever devised, we have never doubted
The way to correct them is to expose
their character by commission whose
judgment will command the confidence
of the people. This is apart from the
doctrine of Protection. Protection is one
thing, and extortion and subsidy is quite
another. We don't think Mr.. Hurd's
lanCiful theories will reform the wrong;
but we do believe the Ohio Demo raCy
are on the road when they declare in
favor of tariff commission, the idea
ctampioned in the last Congress by
Speaker Randall and Senator Eaton Of
Connecticut.
Another sensible and timely express
zion of the Ohio Democrats is that on
prison labor. They declare:
THAT the abuses of the present con-
tract system in our State prisons, by
which the products OF criminal labor are
brought into competition with the plo'
ducts of honest labor to the great injury
of the latter, is vicious and unw'se. and
should be corrected"
Few people have a thorough under
standing of the evil results of prison ser.
vile labor on free labor The natural and
proper idea that ConViCts should sustain
themselves, has given way to the notion
they should be made means Of money
getting for the State or contractors. This
is wicked. 1t introduces an element o.
unfair competition, and so depressef
wages and wrongs the honest freeman IN
the interest of the dishonest convict, Nc
community can long exist under such
conditions.-PHt0burg Post,
The illusions to Hon. Frank Hurd are
entirely unnecessary, as will be seer
when we state that Mr.. Hurd is wei
pleased with the platform, especially
with the tariff resolution.

The Democratic platform adopted last
week at Columbus by the state conven-
tion, will be found in this paper, and
should be carefully read and preserved
for reference. 1t is explicit and compre.
hensive; and on the tariff issue takes
proper and safe ground. As the Stark
County DEMOCRAT has always maintain.
ed, the Democratic party is opposed to
all systems that tend to create and
strengthen privileged Classes--to enrich
the few at the expense of the many-to
increase The rational burden and involve
extraVagant expenditure.
