The speech of Hon. John w. Kern in de-
tense of the defendants in the so-called tally
sheet forgery cases, in the United States
Court at Indianapolis, last Thursday, was
most wonderful performance. "Our John"

komo Kern-spoke for four and One-half
hours, and completely won the hearts of
friend and foe alike. The Sentinel says it
was the best speech ever delivered in
court room in Indianapolis. while the
Journal pronouDces it q most mastery
effort. Judge McNutt, Chief counsel for
the defense, says he never heard a speech
in court to compare With it. All pro-
claim it one of the most effective legal ar
guments ever made in Iudians. The Dis.
patch has read the speech and can attest to
its high character. All Kokomo ard How
ard County are proud of John and feel hon.
ored by his great speech. The simple
truth is, John Kern is one of the very
brightest young men, not only in Indiana,
but in the entire country, and as an orator
his superiors are few aud his equals difficult
TO find. Indeed, we don't believe that any
living man could have spoken more effect.
lively to the issue involved than did he.
John is big enough TO be Governor, and
smaller men are found in the United States
Senate. John Kern is an honor to the
State and pride to the party whose colors
he so nobly bears. A great future is before
him,

a Great Wrong,
Huntington Democra


That the jury in the so-called tally
sheet" conspiracy cases committed great
wrong in compromising on verdict after
unanimously voting that there was no con-
spirscy, and that the judge invaded the
province Of the jury in his remarkable
charge, are incontrovertable matters.
How different were such things done dur
ing Republican administrations. Now
Democratic administration appoints special
assistants to prosecute men charged With
crime, but when "Babcock," high up in
the Republican party was indicted for
conspiring through whisky ring" to de-
fraud the United States Treasury, and it
became necessary to use the evidence of
co-conspirator to convict, a Republican
President interferes, removes the District
Attorney, compels the Secretary of the
Treasury to resign, and the conspirators
go unpublished with the funds of the
United States in their pockets. Such is
the contrast. Then ballot-boxes were
stuffed, conspirstors defrauded the Treas.
ury, and the motto was, Republicans,
though guilty, must not be punished"

THE RECENT TRIAL.
Opinions Of the stl.s Press Upon the Coy and
Bernhamer Case.
"SimpIy Outrageous" - Unfair "The
Outside Clamor''-"A Great Wrong
-"Other Evidence Needed"
Simply Outrageous.

Two of the Indianapolis Democratic al
legged tally sheet forgers-Simeon Coy and
W. F. A. Bernhamer, have been found
guilty. If half what the Indianapolis
Sentinel says about the case and the man.
ner il was tried, is true, every man who be-
heves in a just court and honest verdict
must denounce the whole proceeding as
simply outrageous. Throughout the trial
it was manifest that Judge Woods was de-
termined to secure the conviction of the
accused. His charge to the Jury was an
undisguised appeal to satisfy his political
hatred. He went outside of his duty as
judge, and assumed the role of prosecutor.
The only evidence against the defendants
was gwen by the man Perkins, who, q
number OF the iurymen say was wholly
discredited. The case will not rest where
the verdict of the jury leaves it, and there
Is DO doubt that different result will be
obtained.

death of a famous man of the Latin race is
also presignified. In our own country we
shall witness great political excitement,
strikes, rlots and turbulence, for Mars is
still in the sign Libra, and the refore in op-
position to the ascending sign (Aries) of
