1t is n forcgonc conclusion that

dorSement it will give its distinguished
citizen, John Worth Kern. and the not
able company of gentlemen who are
here to tender him the formal notifica-
ton of his selection by the democratic
purity for vice president of the United
States.
No II who knows the many sterling
and amiablc qualities of Mr.. Kern can
feel anything but sincere joy and salts.
faction in thus joining in his honor; for
the universal feeling of indianapolis
and of all Indiana is that while the
democratic party has honored him, his
presence OH the ticket also honors the
party.
Wherever he goes about the land
his manly spirit and gracious charm of
manne will tend to progresses voters in
favor of tho democratic ticket and
smooth away rcsentments and distrust
which the democratic party by reason
of it's history and its presidential candi-
date so richly deserve.
As n political opponent of Mr.. Kern
and his candidacy, the Star feels that
n word of recognition is due him for
the very fine spirit he has shown
i'll acknowledging the various hOnors
and tributes which have come to him
since his nomination. He has evinced
a noble reserve in accepting this rec
ognition in Il whole-spirit in which it
vas given and has not tried to turn it
to partisan account. 1t is impossible
to doubt the truth of what he says in
declaring that he would rather lose the
election than the respect and good will
of is neighbors. Hurrah for John Kern.
He may miss the electoral vote, but he
cannot lose the election his city and
