The Indiana Democrats.

Mr.. Taggart defeated? Not a bit of it!
He comes out huskiIy on top. The result
must give him the liveliest satisfaction.
Mr.. Kern is more his man than, as the
nominee, he would have been his own
man. There would have been something
30 grotesque in his own candidacy for
senator against Mr.. Beveridge, he and
his party both would have been heavily
handicapped. But Mr.. Kern has claims
to consideration among the intellectual
men of the Indiana democracy. and Mr..
Taggart can work for him with a will.
That the Indianapolis boss will do this
with all his heart is certainty. His re-
lations with Mr.. Kern are most intimate.
The latter. as a lawyer and Mr.. Tag
CARTS attorney. has defended what is
called Taggartism in court. In the
French Lick Springs scandal he appeared
for his friend. At Denver two years ago
It was the Taggart influence that nomi-
mated Mr.. Kern for Vice President. So
that. as a matter of fact. the issue in

cerned, Is Taggart against Beverage, Mr.

The convention "fell down ingloriously
on the tariff issue, but played boldly into
the hands of the brewers and the dis

of ringing declaration for a tariff for
revenue only, in the spirit of the old Hen
bricks days. and in keeping with Gov
Marshallrs expressed beliefs, it merely
put forth a denunciation Of the Payne

been Others have the quick sense and
shrewd fancy of Gilbert White of Sell

of DR. Johnson's sagaciOus observation

Dismissal.

Oh, fame is like a tickle lass,
Who smiles with sweet encouragement,
But who, alack, as time doth pass.

Instead Of a fond welcoming,

And If you mention days agone,

Without apology, she'll yawn
And frankly tell you, Here's your hat.
