BITTER-Sw
SENTINEL NOTES.

L
respondence concerning the Sentinel, which
have been accommodating for some time, the
following amusing and suggestive excerpts
are presented. They will be kept up from
time to time when the live news does not
crowd them out, in order that the friends
of the paper may see it as others see it, and
judge of the justice OF the criticism and the
honesty of the praise
FULFILL.s ALL PROMISE
| From the Jasper Courier;-Under the new
management the Sentinel fulills all the prom
ises made in the prospeetus1whieh is saying a
good DEAL and is decidedly the best newspaper
| In the state for general purposes.
RICHLY MERITED.
| From the Rochester Sentinel Our cotempora-
| ries throughout the state have made favorable
mention of the indianapolis Sentinel. The
| praise, in our judgment, Is richly meri.ed. Its
feeling OF admiration.
KID-GLovED CoNsPIRAToR.
From the Hancock Democrat MIR. keenan,,
who wears kid gloves and parts his hair 10 the
middle, is still writing paragraphs for the Senti-
os a has no Of 9Epg ns SsT
made his utterances a little more democratic.
BEST PAPER PUBLISHED.
| Winchester JournsI:-While we do not,
OF course, agree with the Sentinel politically,
we regard it as one of the best newspapers pub
lished. And the fact that it is printed at our
| own state capital, should recommend II 10 our
| people generally.
| FIRST CLASS NEWSPAPER.
From the Kendallville Standard I'VE publish
in to-day's paper the prospectus of the Sentinel,
the democratic state paper, to which we call the
attention of our readers who wish 10 take a
| trst-class newspaper published at the capital OF
the state. See prospectus for terms, etc.
MIND IT'S OWN BUSINESS,
From the Terre Haute Journal; Having de-
clared time and again that il is not a democratic
paper, what has the Indianapolis Sentinel to say
or do with democratic candidates for state off,
CTS? II sheer impotence for the Sentinel to
| attend to its own party, and not endeavor to en-
barraSs and annoy the democracy.
RESIGNATION.
| From the New Albany Ledger:-The Indian
apolis Sentinel is not yet cured OF its third
party notions. We'll, We suppose the democracy
will be compelled to get along without it. The
brought forth in the world, and we presume that
il can get along when it isdead.
FISH FLESH OR FOWL.
From the Terre Haute Journal:-We are in
hopes the Sentinel will come round to its proper
senses before the contest of next year begins.
The Democracy of Indiana viii have no quarrel
with the sentinel. 1t must be either fish or
animus of the Sentinel may be called liberal
and perhaps IL is, but few of its readers however
will claim that is democratic, "to hurt"
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
From the Terre Haute Journal: The Hon.
Michael c. Kerr, formerly member OF congress
from the second district of this state, TO
be the the only prominent democratic politi-
clan in high favor with the indianapolis Senti-
mel. Kerr received his political schooling in
New York and the editor OF the Sentinel is
graduate of the New York Tribune These sim
pie facts may account for the good will extended
by the sentinel TO ward Mr.. Kerr.
A DEMAND FOR FAIR PLAY.
From the Peru Republican We don't intend
to defeud any congressman who took the back
paw. but the Indianapolis Sentinel acts in
formally mean, even for AN independent news
paper in disposing of the Indiana members. 1t
says "Tyner, the grstooer OF Ihe graoDers' mas
place on the appropriations"
Tyner is with Niblack on the "grab," neither
of them voted for the bill, and both of them
drew the back pay. Williams and Packard both
voted for the Dill and drew the gay; they also
defend the measure. The Sentinel cruelty ig-
nores Judge Jerry Wilson and Judge Jason, two
very respectable memCers from this State.
THE BIRD OF FREEDOM AGAIN
From the Paoli Eagle:-The popinjay who has
control of the Sentinel, gives the democrats 10
distinctly understand that the Sentinel is not a
democratic organ. We have known this for q
long time. But the proprietors started out with
the promise that it should be the organ of the
democratic party, thereby getting liberal sup
port from the democracy. 1t now goes back on
the party. The company is no better than the
New York Tribune eInissary that controls its
editorial columns. Kick the puppy out, or let
tineI having left the democratic party, and an
nounceG itself an Independent paper, this leaves
the democratic party without an organ at the
capital. And when they establish another organ,
let them be careful whose hands they place IL in
PARTIAL CRITIC.
From the Evansville Journal:-We see the
statement in several of our exchanges that Mr..
Henry +. keenan,, editor of the indianapolis
Sentinel, has rendered his resignation of that
position with the intention of returning to his
old home in New York. The rumor we trust is
without foundation. Mr.. keenan,, although an
exceedingly young man. is thorough journalist
in every sense of the word. keen observer,
rare of Judgment and ready and fOrctb |
writer he has been able to make the Sentinel
what Ii never was before-a live, reliable and
under his management; but though IL has
reached a good footing, we opine that 1t can not
from its decay into new life. Mr.. keenan, should
remain at the helm.
TOUCHING TRIBUTE.
From the Greensburg Standard: 1t is
rumored on the breezes that the Indianapolis
Sentinel is about to return TO its frs love, lie,
become a democratic organ again. Says the
report a meeting of stockholders has been held
and determination to return to It's old allegi-
ance was discovered among the members. The
young man, it is said, Immediately rendered his
resignation. How sad, how unspeak-
ably desolate would be the hearts
and minds of the Sentinels readers
should that bright genius retire from its
management. But alas ''all sthings earthly
must have an end, how e'er pleasant they may
have been" and the literature of indianapolis
cannot always have Keenan, as contributor.
The Sentinel has been in a most unenviaole
position for some time; 1t has been without
dependent party has proved failure, and the
Sentinel, which has so long hoped and expected |
to become the worthy leader OF said party, is
finally compelled to give up the hope. 1t will
return TO the democracy; 1t will no longer re- |
main out in the cold, nobody's organ, but will
return from its wild expedition after other
glories, and return 70 its first love. How noble
the thought!
