Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1852-04-08
Governor Wright and MIR. McCarty.

1t is amusing to see the Wing papers constantly APP
plying the terms honest PLAIN unasstHing and snch
like terms TO Mr. McCarty the competitor Of Governor
Wright. A stranger amongst would to the
conclusion that at least among the Wings, the article
of honesty was a commodity, aud that since they
had honest candidate, they had better harp
upon that string and nothing else
We perceive that they also have much 10 say about
his personal popularity exhibited in the contests in
which he has been engaged and the South Bend Regis
ter undertakes To give very peculiar for
his connecting with the advice OF his parents
Well all this has nothing TO do questions Who shall
with the be the next Governor Of Indianal Who the
best qualified place in charge Of the great inter-
ests of Indanal Who will most faithfully discharge the
duties OF the Executive CHART Who has the talent
the nerve and energy look all the great interests
OF the State complicated as they are, and daily increas
ingl
If these matters, so harped upon by the Wings had
anything TO do with the election think in Governor
Wright we have the decided advantage Mr.. Nc
Carly and the Wings. Ii is true Mr. McCarty for
Congress in lS47 against Judge Wick with 500 major
ty against him in the district and beaten but 300
votes Gov. Wright run for Congress with :, 500 ma
JorIty against him and yet he elected. The very
year that Mr. McCarty was defeated by Judge Wick,
by 300 majority, Governor Wright was defeated for
Congress in a district that had given about the
majority Il 500) in 1874 by the distinguished and popu
lar R. w Thompson, not by 3O0 but by l46 majority
Governor Wright has always been able to carry his
own county although differing with him in politics. We
think these facts show that in personal popularity Gov
Wright is equal TO any man OF the Wing party in the
State, and we believe deservedy so.
We know Nicholas McCarty. He sold goods in this
county long time, and at good profit. No person
bames him for this but il is ridiculous hear men talk
about this that though all the virtue of this
world found in him alone. Mr. McCartys property
in this county is appraised at $50 900. He has fine
property in other counties and States He made it all
honestly doubt in trading and selling goods, all Of
which is well enough. Other men, however, have
opened their hearts and directed their energies OBJ
jects and pursuits equally worthy. Merely because
a man makes money and becomes rich is reason he
should be saint, nor the contrary.
The records of the State Of Indiana contain the fol-
lowing sentiment from the President of the Board of
Trustees of the State University relative Governor
Wright; and that gentleman is Wing, yet he has the
independence thus TO speak OF the Governor in report
to the Legislature:
cit ought be generally known that, in instance
at least the State Of Indiana has conferred the highest
Office in her gilt, individual who, while student
at her State University acted janitor keeper
to the Institution, earning, by choPping irewood and
other services usually considered mental, the Of
scanty subsistence, while, during college hours, he
stored his mind and cultivated his intellect and finally
reaped the reward OF selldenal and mental discipline
by reaching the Gubernatorial chair of the State"
| In the year 1929 young settled in the Wabash
country in the county OF Parke, without acquant
anee, relative, dollar of money, perfect stranger
BY his conduct and attention business he succeeded
in bis profession, made money, which freely
divided with crippled brother, then about ten years Of
age who going to school From time to time
mesrs furnished that brother. The Wabash
stranger OF 1929 elected member OF the lepisa-
ure from the county Of Parke in 1888 and during that
year introduced bill which finally passed. giving
each county the right to send student the State
college, tuition free of charge. Under this law the
crippled brother and other young of Indiana have
received education. In the year 1889 the invalid
brother graduated at the college in Bloomington studied
his profession, settled in Iowa in S4O and
of the most intelligent and useful members Of the bar
that State. He was candidate for Congress in 1851
and has been a member of the Senate of Iowa.
The Wabash man who educated the crippled brother
is now the Governor Of Indiana, and his example is
worthy of imitation This does not, however, qualify
him for the Office Of Governor, but is Of the many
examples which can be given of the goodness Of has
heart. But few short months ago nothing more
common than for the Wings themselves call Governor
Wright 'the good GoUernOT 'the popular Governor -
'the vOrtiy Governor" If not Tor his well known
benevoence and generosity his strict attention the
erests of the State, which drew from Wings and Wing
presses every where these encomiums Of praise what
it pray Yes, until within few weeks, since Gov.
Wright has become candidate for reelection, this
the language Of the Wings Now they have substItu-
ted such epithets Trimmer Hobby rider Demagogus.
