KERNs DEFEAT.

A dispatch from IndianapoliS, Ind,
says that the nomination of Shively for
the q. 8. Senate was followed yesterday
afternoon By q statement from John w.
Kern, who was 6hively's strongest ap-
pouent. Concerning the secret ballot
against which Kern made hard fight
be ssys it made possible not only the
betrayal OF constituents by their repre-
sentatives, but all "sorti Of trescheIy,
double dealing, aud corrupt practices. "
5hively was nominated on the tWen-
tieth ballot alter the caucus bad bal
loted for fVe hours.
Mr. Kern left the s ate house immedi-
alely after the 6nsl result was announced
he made a statement later, 10 part, as
follows:
"It ls ma, ter OF great regret that
under tbs cloak of the secret ballot 80
many representatives we're able to defy
the will of their constituents. have
10 mind several counties where the sem
timent for my nomination was Practi'
cyliy unanimous, and that sentiment
was we'll known to their representatives,
aud yet tho representatives delibera'
tely betrayed their p'ople aud voted for
men who, In q primary, would not have
received q handful OF Votss In those
couplies.
"The secret ballot made possible not
only these betraysls, bat oil sorts ot
treachery, double-dealing, and corrupt
practices. l believe that Thoughtful
people will find 10 the scenes OF the last
two days additional strong argument In
favor OF the election Of Upi!ed States
senators by direct vote Of the people. L
do not care at this time to discuss ia
detail The causes which contributed 10
the result. The secret ballot In gen.
eral way was responsible for 1t.
81 shall have something to cay as to
the interests which we're back Of the op'
position to ne, and as 10 the stories oi
donble-dealiDg and double-crossing
which are ahOst. / have not been de-
ceived as to the attitude Of those inter-
ests aud men,"
Ten days before the Legislature assem-
bled the brewery Influences In the demo-
cratic party began active Sork seainst
Kern, but did not combine on auy one
candidate.
They we're known, however, to be
equally hostile to Slack, and friends de-
pended upon q combination between the
friends OF the two men to whom the
brewery influence was opposed.
Before the caucus met there was agl.
tstion 10 favor Of a secret ballot and the
brewery element was tack of this move
ment. They worked so hard among the
members that the secret ballot was Or
dered, Kern's supporters only standing
out against 1t. Ia the meantime KerO
and Lamb, knowing that the brewery
element was about to combine on Shive-
ly, entered into combination by which
each WAS 10 throw votes to the other as
the ballot progressed, Slack supporters
learned OF this and we're iDcensed by 1t,
and during the bslloting they stood brm.
ly by their candidate till 1t was certaiu
tia, be could not be nominated.
When the break came they turoed to
Shively and thus, out of revenge, threw
their support to the element that bal
been fighting Slack.
