COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1915.
DEAR SIRs Il see thatyour honest and true hearted
Democrats are pestered with ltech which Is dubbed
the Indiana Democrat and from the few numbers
that have seen, it bids fair 10 be able advocate of
the Federal party under the gaTb of Democracy.
This is to be regretted but since has been started,
the Democracy VIII be Obliged it as they would
q regular Federal sheet II is always to be expected
that when Democratic paper dares 10 denounce the
intamy of swindling bankers, 1t must incur the dis
pleasure Of some who have attached themselves to the
Democratic party for the real purpose Of giving them
an influence in that party which they may at
pleasure TO sell the party which they disgrace, into
the hands of Federalism Such, it is believed, IS the
object of the concern above named; and 1t is to be
hoped that the true Democracy Of your growing De-
mocratic State will frown it down in the bud 1t is
invariably the case, that the Federal leaders
damn their party and lose power, they their
for some weal-minded and corrupt Democrats,
to help them in their iniquity, and often succeed
IN accomplishing their desperate designs.
Indiana has, since 1910 succeeded in annihilating
Federal majority of 13,0oo result almost incredl-
bic, and placing the Democracy triumphantly, and l
hope, permanently, in the ascendant. She is now
looked to Of the permanent pillars of the Demo-
cratic party This glorious result has been brought
about by her politicians taking high grounds upon all
questions connected with corporations and with such
men as WHITCoMB, OWEN and others too numerous
to mention in my present limits. there be doubt
but that the Democratic party viii remain in the
majority. But sir, if the Democracy tolerate mnions
of the Indiana Bank assume the leadership Of their
party the people viii get disguised and leave tile
old ship to It's fate. Whenever these men get the
control of the press and give to tie party the
party lines begin to fade and it is then difficult
to tell which is the real Democratic party; for there
is but little difference between Bank Democrats and
Bank Federalists. Both are governed by the same
motives. They soon lose sight of the principles of
the party, by their love for the almighty 'rag dollars"
They unsafe pilots, and if they are tolerated at
the helm, it will make a Federal State of Indiana
much sooner than the Federal leaders proper could
possibly do it.
The Estate Sentinel has guided the party through
desperate and doubtful conflict. 1t has acquired
reputation for Independence, fearlessness and true
devotion to the party seldom equalled and never ex
celled; and now that the party in your noble State
have glOriousy triumphed, and the cohorts of FeGe-
ralsm vanquished, the allies of the PROSTATE party
wish to the lead, again surrender it up into
the hands of those who have just been made to bite
the dust Fear not vrtuous and magnanmous
party, as | believe the Democracy of Indiana to be.
VIII tolerate it. The falsely called Democrat
may convince people that you are not the irsl
- growing y Chapman; but it viii find trouble to
convince them that you not true Democratic
