The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-04-28

The atrocity of the New York Times in
daring to insinuate anything wrong against
the republican party still impresses the
great and good Harlan. His paper de-
jectedly exposulates against such backslid-
ing, and piteously protests that the republi-
can party be saved from its friends. The
sins of the Times are enumerated with mel
ancholy emphasis, beginning with the adj
mission, which no 'loyal" organ should
make, that Louisiana is overborne by
rascals, and that corruption is Tester
ing the vitals Of the commonwealth.
That Kellogg, the presidents governor is
convicted scoundrel and that Casey, the
presidents brother-in-law, is responsible for
all the misdoing in that state. That Butler
is not what he should be and that General
Grant, offends the decency of the nation in
permitting him to lead the councils of the adj
ministration. All these things the Times
having denounced of late, moves the Mobi-
lier Harlan to protest and entreaty-but all
of these did not stir him up so much as the
the final disloyalty of the Times
in preferring Charles Francis Adams to
regular party republican to succeed Sumner.
Listen to the scandalized man: =" In g late
issue the Times speaks OF Mr.. Washburn
the new senator from Massachusetts,, as a
weak man, whose election is not a special
tribute TO the senator whose place he takes
but will hardly fil." But mark the expo
sure the reverend man makes of the Times
disgusting disloyalty. The reason OF
this hostility" says brother Harlan Sc
verely, " is that that paper preferred Mr..
Adams, who has not been recognized for
some years, if he ever was, as a repub-
lican." Think of such inconceivable
baseness. Actually preferred a man who
had not acted with the republican party
"for some years." for the frivolous reason
that he was statesman, and more like
Sumner in character and sttainments than
the ordinary partisan selected!! Mark the
closing reproof of the reverend man:
We can not but think that the illusions TO him
in the Times are in very bad taste. The truth is,
developed, is more injurious TO its friends than
its enemies, and the great want In the city OF
New York is reliable republican organ whose
ing up the party, rather than denouncing those
who stand in its front ranks, and in sowing
discord upon every occasion, as the Times too
often does.
You will observe that so
soon as newspaper evinces disposition to
demand party honesty and expose party ras-
cality, there is a loud call for an organ to take
its place. The Indiana public has not been
wholly without pleas of this sort, and this
gem from the Washington ring-leader and
credit mobilier 4uainstay, will serve as
little illustration of the sort of personages
who demand organs. Harlan is engaged in
running an organ himselfjus5 now, and you
never see any unsavory comments upon
men or things in his discreet columns. In
that decorous sheet, Grant is still the Savior
OF his country" the republican rings the
''great party ofmoral ideas" and the opposi-
ton, no matter what its name or purpose,
branded "rebels," TRAITORS" "soreheads,"
and the like. Like Mr.. Morton's home or
gan, the party ways are all honest, and the
purposes all divine inspiration.
