HURRAH FOR KERN I Some two yeera ago a convict ad dresaed a letter to John W Kern, the Democratic candidate for governor, asking his aid In securing a pardon Mr Kern had defended tbe man and believed he bsd suffered enough, but advised hlro to interest soms ward worker or small politician la his case, as such a man would have more In fluence with the governor than Kero himself The letter was sent to the governor by one of his henchmen, and It la more than likely that ths convict never saw It After holding tbe letter nearly two years and waiting till the eve of the election. Governor Durbln gave it out for publication, acrompa nylng the act with tbe declaration that a man who would write auch a letter to a convict ta not fit to be governor Thereupon Mr Kern came hack at the mall fry governor, admitted that he wrote the letter to Convict Fleming, and that he stands by every utterance It contained Then be added T do not believe that Jobn Fleming ever sew that letter If he did he would be quite likely to deliver It vp promptly oa tbe request of tbs prison officials, wno acquired a reputation for abusing Insane eonvlcta Whoa Gov eraor Durbin Insinuates that Fleming gave up that letter voluntarily and without request. If he ever saw tt, be utters a deliberate falaehood " Mr Kern can find ample proof that Owernor Durbln 1 not over particular about tbe truth when be wanta to xaake a point Every nevspaper man who has had anything to do with him knows full well with what ease ths governor can make a statsaent and then when It appears tn print, utter a clrcumetanttal denial of having used tbe language One Indianapolis paper had occasion to call him a liar once, and tbe executive did not come te bat It ts like him to carry such

Of course the Republicans would try to ape the Democrats In the features that attended th. to-ir of Indiana by Mr Bryan, but they are reckoning without their hoet in one Important particular The outpouring of tbe penpie to hear the distinguished cttUen of Nebraska was spontaneoua: tbe tribute paid to him was to him and to the eternal principles which he represents Tbe enthusiasm that will at tend Charte W Fairbanks, if Indeed there ts enthustaam at all will fe of the manufactured brand tbe trust va riety that is made up by hiring rail road trains and taking people with charge to bis meetings Falrbanka
