 Applause For Kern.
 Prolonged applause greeted Mir. Kern as he accepted the nomination.
 The principal part of Mir. Kern's ad- dress was devoted to the tariff, as fol lows:
 The question of tariff taxation is one of vital interest. am in hearty ac- cord with our platform declarations on that subject.
 The Republican caRdidate for vice president in his recent speech of ac- ceptance lauded the Dingley bill and declared that when enacted it was well adapted to existing conditions. but pro- ceeded Co add that the developments of industrial prosperity in a decade which in volume and degree have sur. passed our most roseate expectations have eo oItarad conditions +hot ir nar tain details of schedules they no long CT in every particular mete out justice to all" For these reasons he declared in favor of readjustment based or the broad principles of protection for all American interests alike for labol and capital. for producers and con sumers" The hundreds of thousands of American workingmen who are now vainly seeking employment were doubtless delighted when they reaC about that industrial prosperity which so surpassed our most roseat' expectations"
 If the wages of labor depend upon { high tariff. why should any man favO a reduction of that tariff? If after eleven years of surpassing prosperity brought about by the Dingley hill business languishes and labor suffers why not excite some more ''roseate OK pectations" by raising the tariff ratet to the end that there may be q mucl needed revival of business and tha labor may again find employmentT
