Duty of Democrats.

Hon. John W. Kern, in his speech at
Franklin Tuesday, spoke thus of
the duty of democrats:
"It is the duty of democrats in this
hour to stand closely together. Let the
past be forgotten. If Bryan can afford
to welcome Olney and Cochran and
Watterson back in the ranks, and if
Olney and Cochran and Watterson are
brave aud manly enough to return to
their oldtime places about the demo-
cratic tireside, surely we in Indiana,
however much we may have differed iD
the past as to the matters of policy or
upon mere economic questions, can
afford to rally about a common stand
ard ss we did in the good old days, and
all together, shoulder to shoulder,
march again to the same OLD music and
again win the same sort of victories
which crowned our efforts then.
"But there must be kindness, gener-
osity and courtesy. 1t will not do for
any man to undertake to belIttle or
humiliste the great standard bearer of
1896 and 1900, William j. Bryan. He
has so firm hold on the affections of
the millions of men who voted for him
that any such treatment would be
quickly and promptly resented. And
none of the brave and patriotic men
who have returned and who are return
ing to their old places in the party will
want to iDflict such treatment. Ali of
them recognizes the splendid abilities,
the superb qualities, the great patriot
ism of that man and in their devotion
to the cause of democracy will be more
than willing to be just to him and to
the millions of his admirers and friends.
We are not making platforms tonight,
nor are we naming candidates. On all
essential questions the old Democratic
party is united. On ali other questions
let US for the sake of harmony and vic
tory exercise charity.
"When the time comes for the pre-
sentstion of the issues to the people the
candidate will come with it. He will
be chosen by the liberty. loving demo-
Gratis of America and will be fit rep
resentative of the great principles upon
which we are all agreed.

GETS JAIL SENTENCE.
VIM. Campbell GIVEN SIX
MONTHS IN JAIL.
Charged with Attempt TO Commit Rape
Jury Was Evenly Divided on First Bal
lot as to Prisoners Guilt or Innocent
Verdict a Surprise.

The jury in the case of the state vs..
VIM. Campbell, charged with attempt
ing to rape little Zelis Stein, arrived at
an agreement at IL q. m. yesterday.
The case was given to them at
$50 Wednesday evening and upon
assembling in the jury room, the first
ballot was taken, showing the jury to
be evenly divided as 10 convictions rel.
ative to the guilt or innocence of the
prisoner. Various bsllOts were taken
thereafter and a compromise verdict
was finally rendered. The jury gave
the prisoner jail sentence of six
mOnthe.
When the verdict was rendered at the
court room yesterday. the prisoner
broke down and cried, protesting
against the penalty and declaring his
innocence. Those who heard the evi.
dence think that the prisoner can con-
gratulate himself upon escaping pen
itentisry sentence.
The fact that there is nothing on the
statutes prescribing penalty for the
particular crime committed, is q very
probable explanation of his escaping
the penitentiary. No doubt the jury
was convinced that the prisoner did
not intend to commit rape though they
might have been satisfied of his guilt,
as told by the little Stein girl. The
verdict is q surprise to the community,
as ell expected that he would be sent
to the penitentisry for an indeterminite
period.

the local to stop in time to prevent q
