BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.
From the Anderson Herald-Grant:-The In
dianapolis Sentinel refuses to second the
call for an sth of January democratic conven-
ton. 1t even goes so far to say that IL has no
partisan preferences. It affects position of sub.
lime indifference as to whether the democratic
or republican party is the successful one. Shades
Of Andrew Jackson, What do Jim Ryan and
comfort to such institution? Are they not
stockholders in the sentinel, and also great
enjoyed fat offices at the hands of the party +?
And yet they. allow this thing? Hear
what their paper says to the democracy of In
diana: "The question of holding a convention
the sentinel has no interest in whatever. tdoes
not pretend to advise or suggest. It's mission is
simply TO print the news, take its choice of men
when presented for election, and uphold honesty,
SO far as IT can recognize honesty, no matter
Sentinel is of opinion that IL will not be held for
the simple reason that The managers OF the party
machinery are too wise 10 ask the people to
support them when the people have not quite
made up their minds what they really want. 1t
does not occur TO thick and thin party folks that
there is something more demanded jdst now
than the name and tradition Of past usefulness
PRAYERFUL WRESTLING.
From the Terre Hautejournal:- The Indianap-
oils Sentinel evidently is greatly out of humor
at the result of the Ohio election. Secretly it
desired the defeat of Col. Allen and the state
ticket. In June last 1t went with those who
turned their backs, as they proclaimed, upon
the past, seemingly forgetful OF the magnanim-
ity of the party they were hoping to put behind
| them. A new order of things was attempted
without a full and fair understanding with the
rank and file of the party, the result of which
is still fresh In the memory of all, and which all
recollect was a Bull Run disaster. Having con-
mitted this egregious folly, theSentinel, If IL is
not merely the reflex of the sentiment of other
its folly. Ii cannot write the democratic party
down, and the popular impulse about a new
creation in parties" with which il seems
infatuated, will amount to Just nothing
The Sentinel should not let the defeat of both
the republican and peoples party, or, to use its
own words, the defeat of the popular impulse"
worry il so, and cause 1t 10 exhibit such iii temp
er. Such spaSms of bad temper is unbecoming a
state organ. IL IL does show a lack of polite
breeding. We venture this now in the way of a
be recognized as of any force in western politics
and especially and particularly in Indiana poll
tics It's next best move will be to face about and
step into the wagon, take a ride with the demo-
Gratis, and let the popular impulse" pass. For
get It Turn your back upon IL, and be admon-
ished by the Ohio election that the democrats of
Indiana will never fOrsake the Inheritance of
their fathers; that they intend to stand by the
democratic party and maintain democratic
principles. If the Sentinel wishes not to be ut
terly ignored and desires TO maintain its usful-
ness as the organ of the democracy of the state
the sooner il brings itself into closer commun-
ion and goOdly fellowship with the party the
sooner these GOOD results viii be attained.
