R. M. Isherwood seems to be making good with the Tippecanoe County Democrat, which he started in Lafayette a year ago. Mr. Isherwood is an able writer and 1 a hustler, and in Tippecanoe he has a fertile field to work on. Tippe&anoe county certainly ought to support one democratic paper and, support it well, but it takes lots of hard work to place a newspaper on a paying basis these days. We are glad the paper , has passed the experimental stage and hope it will continue to grow until it is second to none in that county.

BUT THE LITTLE FISH WILL BITE.

If there were no boards of trade for the millionaire operators to work with, which are the greatest gambling concerns in the world, and no cold storage places, the question of high living would be solved. The authorities are . always after little gamblers who work in a small way with racing, playing poker, marbles, etc., but the greatest gambling of all, that ruins more people than all the balance combined is legalized, and is a menace to the world. Boards of Trade defy the law, where the big fish eat the little ones with impunity, and they have the privilege to make the prices on everything the poor people eat, and only have to crack their whip to shut off any or all supplies. Mr. Patten deserves quarters in a government prison. Crown Point Star (Rep).

KERN NAMED FOR THE SENATE

-After a Series of Surprises and Convention Sensations the Indiana Democratic State Convention Adopts Governor Marshall's* Idea For the Naming of United States Senator and Names a Ticket.

Indianapolis, April 29.- —Despite his earnest declaration that he was not a candidate for the convention’s indorsement for the United States senate, and over his protest against the use of his name in that connection, the Hon. John W. Kern of Indianapolis was yesterday named by acclamation, and amid a scene of wild enthusiasm that has probably never been equalled in historic old Tomlinson hall, the Democratic party’s choice to oppose the candidacy of Senator Albert J. Beveridge for re-election to the senate of the United States. This indorsement came at the end of a trying contest in which some of the best men in the party in Indiana were pitted and the great demonstration which marked the solution of a proposition which had for weeks been vexing the Democracy of Indiana as has few questions in its history, seemed convincing to the mere observer that the various elements which had been divided on the proposition had gotten together on an entirely satisfactory basis; Mr. Kern was not present to receive the plaudits of his party, having retired from the hall after telling the delegates that the use of his name in this connection had not been warranted by him, but the continued demonstration whiclj attended the announcement of the vote on the senatorial question must have been balm for whatever of disappointment Mr, Kern had felt at the result of the legislative caucus which sent Ben Shively to the Senate a year ago last January. The Governor Wins Out. Governor Marshall was also Indorsed by the convention’s acceptance of his proposition for the convention to name a candidate for the senate. Tom Taggart, if taken at his word—and all agreed that Mr. Taggart was sincere when he declared that he would rather see John Kern in the senate than to have a seat there himself —enjoyed his day of gratification, as did John Lamb, L. Ert Slack, Major Menzies, Joe Shea. Bob Miers, Dan Sims, Ed Becker, Ed Hoffman, John Adair and Sam Ralston, whose names had been presented for the senatorial indorsement, for in withdrawing in favor of Mr. Kern they each and all declared that party harmony and hope of success were dearer to them than any ambition for personal preferment. The delegates were pleased—their cheers Indicated that — hence it was a day of good cheer all around for Indiana Democracy. When the convention reconvened yesterday morning after having decided the night before to test out “the governor’s proposition,” the hall was packed as it has rarely been, and there was an air of the keenest expectancy over all. Under the rules the debate on the senatorial proposition was lifn ited to forty-five minutes the side. Judge J. E. McCullough of Indianapolis led the discussion for the affirmative and was followed by Judge S. M. Ralston of Lebanon and Senator Shively for the negative, John E. Lamb of Terre Haute closing for the affirmative. When the latter debaters, in the course of his speech, linked the name of Crawford Fairbanks, a Terre Haute brewer, with that of Thomas Taggart he was greeted by a storm of hisses which for a time threatened to overwhelm him, and it was not until the storm of protest against the speaker’s inference had spent itself that he was able to proceed. Mr. Lamb closed at 11 o’clock and a ballot was ordered on the proposition: “Shall the convention indorse a candidate for the United States senate?” The yeas carried the day by a vote of 888% to 858% and the convention rose in a veritable frenzy of applause. When Governor Marshall, as temporary chairman, then rose to introduce Senator Shively chairman the two leaders were given a really remarkable ovation. Senator Shively, in accepting the gavel, made no set speech, declaring that such was unnecessary, “there being no sinners here to be saved/’ The Contest by Ballots. xne report of the committee- on resolutions submitted by State Senator Stotsenberg of New Albany, was adopted and nominations for senatorial indorsement were made as follows: Major G. V? Menzies, R. W. Miers, Joseph H. Shea, L. Ert Slack, John E. Lamb, Thomas Taggart, John W. Kern, Edward V. Becker, Daniel W. Sims, Edward G. Hoffman, J. A. M. Adair and Samuel M. Ralston. The first ballot resulted: Menzies, 154; Miers, 57; Shea,-138; Slack, 174; Lamb, 226; Taggart, 228; Kern, 303; Becker, 51; Sims, 100; Hoffman, 166; Adair, 133; Ralston, 9; necessary to a choice, 874. During the progress of this ballot Mr. Kern entered the hall and announced that his name had been entered in tne race contrary to his express wish and order, but the declaration was greeted by a storm of “nos.” The convention apparently could not see how Mr. Kern was going to be able to keep his name out of the list. Second ballot:] Menzies, 128; Miers, 83; Shea, 101; Slack, 157; Lamb, 204; Taggart, 14; Kern, 647; Becker, 47; Sims, 65; Hoffman, 139; Adair, 143; Ralston, 19. During the progress of this ballot Mr. Taggart personally announced the full Marion county vote • for Mr. Kern, and from that moment the ultimate result was not In doubt. . Third ballot.: Menzies. 144; Miers,

When Marion county was reached on this ballot Mr. Taggart arose and, speaking for the delegation, announced that “as ‘the old Taggart machine’ is in the scrap pile today, Marion county casts her full 183 votes for John W. Kern.” This started the stampede. The band played the Star Spangled Banner and the love feast was on. John E. Lamb started it before another ballot was called, by withdrawing in favor of Kern. The other candidates promptly followed suit, and at 3:10 Mr. Kern was by acclamation indorsed as the convention’s candidate for the United States senate, this choice to be ratified by the legislature If the Democrats control that body.
