The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-04-07

UP, GUARDS, &c.
| From the Plymouth Democrat.
With woyears of rest our arms are rusteC
and 1t is now time to prepare them fol
action. We know our enemy and the bat
tie we have to fight, and the sooner we pre-
pare for it and move on his works the more
complete will be our victory. 1t is certain
no evil can result from the early and thor
ough organization of our forces. Marshall
county should give an unprecedented demo-
cratic majority this fall, and with a proper
use of the means at our command it will dc
so. Let us meet and take counsel together
brethren.
QUESTION OF RECORDS.
(From the vevay Democrat
What shall be done, gentleman Will
you vote for the democrats? The worst
thing that they ever did was to guard the
public treasury. We want to ask this CUES
ton, .'Why does not some statistical repub-
lican make comparison between the steal
ings under the democrats, prior to 1868 and
under his own party since? The national
records would be opened to him. We can
answer that question for our republican
friends. Such comparison dare not be
made by the party in power.
PROGRESSIVE PLAN.
(FIom the Madison Progress.)
We present the name of Mr.. John Roberts,
of Madison, for the Office of secretary of
state, believing that his position as law
yer-his energy and ability as a debater will
tell, for good. during the campaign, and as
we propose 10 De successful, we want none
but honest and competent men on our tickle
Divide the state so that each congressional
district, as nearly as may be, may have a
candidate, and that one honest and quail
fled. and we will guarantee clear majority
of 1O, 900 votes.
THE VOICE OF GRAB AND MoBILIER.
From the Kendallville standard,)
The indianapolis Sentinel, the state "or-
gan" of the democracy in this state, still re-
bells against the pLerile attempt to galva-
nize the old carcass of democracy into life,
and pleads for new deal, and new party.
1t is not at all surprising that the Sentinel
should wish to "Submerge all party signs
and tokens" If we belonged to party that
carried such a record as does the democratic
party, We would want to ''sgbmerse' it as
soon as possible. Put milestone about
its neck, and sink it out of sight forever.
NEVER SAY DIE.
From the Danville UniOn)
We are prepared for any amount of
vituperation and abuse of the republican
party, but we ask those who have so long
accepted its doctrines what there is that they
should now abandon it for any other? Let
us come together, aud. taking counsel by
past experiences, resolve upon united
action for its time-hOnored principles, seek
ing men to bear aloft the banner, whose
life is their pledge for faithful: and honest
seek.
LAST LEGS.
From the Decatur Eagle
Parties and politicians are about on their
last legs. The demand of the hour is for
honesty. Professions without practice will
not be taken. Something more is now de-
manded than sold traditions of past useful
ness" Two years ago the Hon. Michael G.
Kerr ran against Billy Williams for con-
gressmen at-lsrge of this state. Williams
carried of the prize by small MAORI
ty. If the vote was to be taken over to-day
Kerr would carry the state by $4,000.
NOT DEAD.
(From the Decatur Herald.)
The attempt to break up the democratic
in this state is a.decided failure
At the late meeting of the state central COM
mittee at Indianapolis there was not single
member of the committee in favor OF the
Sentinel's plan to create new party. The
party is not dead yet, and the
old chronic office-se ekers, who now imagine
that they will be enabled to creep into of
ice by helping to bury the party, will find
put their mistake at the next election.
woMAN's WILL.
(From the Hartford City News.)
The determination and unrelenting pur-
poses which has ever attached to women,
has never been stronger developed than in
The stubborn prosecution of the temperance
Man, though probably the equal
Of the fair sex in the connection of plans, is
brought to stand still when confronted with
The memorable will which woman posses in
The highest degree.
GOOD sEND-oFF.
From the Connersvie Examiner
The Hon. Michael G. Kerr, of New AL
Dany, and one of the most reliable and ef-
icient representatives that Indiana ever had
IN congress has announced his intention OF
,ntering the field again as candidate from
The second district.
HONEST AND FEARLESS.
From the New Castle Times.l
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, is one of the
democrats who ought to be kept in congress.
His voice is always raised in warning " hen-
ever a new steal is proposed, and be is as
honest as he is fearless.
Praying and singing by ladies IN front of
low taverns have thus far been spectacle
sufficiently odd to dumbfoundert the Keepers
and there Is sufficient halo of ASSOCIATION and
feeling about prayer and praise to impose re-
spect on the bystanders. But neither prayer
nor praise can very long stand the strain
which this conflict Is imposing on it. The
very utmost that can be expected from 1t is,
In our opinion, the intensifcation, greater or
less, of the feeling that bars are disreputable
resorts, and that drinking at them is de
grading; but the value of this result even
will depend on the effort not being pushed
far enough to make ii ridiculous
or futile, and thus insure a reaction.
After they have been used for awhile in the
streets as afweaponI of mundane warfare.
