SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS.

In referring to the candidate fer
vice president on the democratic
ticket, the Indianapolis Star, fer
yid republican paper, lays aside par
tisanship long enough to give one po-
litically opposed, justice. This ex-
ample could be followed by some of
the extreme partisan papers which
seem to think that the opposite
party Is composed largely of traitors.
The Star pauses long enough in it's
daily task of demolshing democracy
to thus comment upon John W.
Kern.
There is a peculiar quality of sim :
plic1ty, earnestnesS and manliness
about John Kern. an unfailing good
humor and cheerfulness unuer polit-
ical defeat and personal ill health, a
frankness in his speech and an i'm
pulsiveness In his acts-all of which
endear him to every man who comes
to know him, whether as a public
character, as true friend and
comrade, or as the devoted husband
and father In happy home.
The reception to Candidate Kern
was presided over by Vice President
Fairbanks. 1t is these incidents
which reminds Us that humanity Is
the same wherever we find it. All
patriots are not found In one party
nor are all thieves and rogues found
In the other.

BRYAN AND VICTORY.

Ihe people, through their accredit.

spoken unanimously and unanimous.
lS William Jennings Bryan, for the
third time, has been called to lead
the democratic hosts of America.
This time Bryan will win. Wall

defeat the popular will as in 1896 ana
1900. For so much the people can
thank the recent republican panic.
Let the republicans declare that
Bryan having been beaten twice will
oe beaten again. They know better
