had 1t not been for the bravery of the cap
tain and the presence of mind of his wife.

1t now comes to the surface that the SOL
dier's reunion was deliberately planned by
Senator Morton to initiate his campaign tor
the presidential nomination. The whole
thing was cut and dried in private caucus,
and set in motion with the incest calculation
as to results. The soldiers were used as
tools, and though only patriotic and social
feeling impelled them to respond to the call
yet Mr.. Morton accomplished his purposes,
and when they came he violated all the
proprieties and decencies of life by inAicting
upon them TRADE of concentrated ma
lignsncy to arouse tteir passions, and thus
secure his nomination. In the plans devised
every Republican 0nfavorable to Mr.. Morton
was scrupulously ignored, no matter how
much the soldiers would have delighted to
honor them.

soon exposed, doubtless other leading gen.
erals would have come in, too, for q share in
its blame. Sherman was but q short dis
tance from here, and away for the same
reason that Grant was away, and other men
and favorites of the soldiers Each in turn
would, doubtless, have received criticism in
order to add more glory to Mr.. Morton. The
littleness and the meanness of this whole
business must bring upon Mr.. Morton the
contempt of every soldier, and that odium
that he sought to heap upon the presi-
dent will fall upon himself.
In view OF this transaction, It becomes
necessary to set iOrth before the soldiers OF
Indiana, that tbs concealed and real design
of the late gathering was to giorify Mr..
Morton, to give him a chance to inaugurste
a canvass of hate, enmity and wrath, as the
spirit of a new political crusade, of which he
himself was to be leader. That crusade was
to perpetuate continually enmity between
different sections of the Union-and above
all and over all, it was to further the inter
ests of Oliver p. Morton as a candidate for
the presidency.

form and ehter into the canvass, and battle
against republication and for victory, In
the way which seemed best TO them. In
their struggle they should have had the
earnest sympathy OF the whole party,
East and West. even though there
might not be exact harmony Of views in the
statement of political doctrine. This same
spirit is now exercised, in retaliation,
by the Cincinnati Enquirer, which
is likewise to be regretted, touching
the New York campaign. 1t is injudicious
and unwise, and can only result in evil and
discord, that will weaken the general effort
to overthrow the Republican party. The
Enquirer should have hesped Goals of fire
on the heads of the New York Democracy
that sympathized with Hayes, by urging
the party to stand together and
re-elect Gov. Tilden, and then refer any diff
ference on finance to the future ma
tional convention OF the party. It
will be then time enough to urge
the defeat of any state ticket that claims to
be Democratic when it shall take positions
in its state platform different from the
doctrine laid down by the representatives
OF the Democracy in national convention. It
is well known that neither the press of this
state nor the majority of the speakers
sent from Indiana to assist in the can
vass in Ohio were in exact accord
with the spirit OF the canvass there,
yet, truly sympathizing with the gallant
struggle that the Democratic party was
making to defeat a corrupt party, they
gave them hearty sympathy and sincere
and earnest lsbors, and by this
there will be greater hope of
coming together in harmony at the
approaching national convention. IL this
the Sentinel does not mean to imply that
the position of the Indiana Democracy is in
harmony with the New York platform.
On the contrary, it is more in unison
with the letter of the Ohio plat
form, for the views advocated in the Senti--
mel at least, on this subject, comprise the re-
sistsnce of the resumption act. the repeal of
the national banking system and the retir-
ing of that currency and replacing the
same with the greenback currency.
This, we are persuaded, will be
the financial basis of doctrine on finance
that will be eventually adopted by the ma
tional convention, and upon which the East
and West ought to unite, and all divisive
uttersncss of retaliation is to be deplored
and avoided. In the face of an unscrupu-
lOus foe it will not be good policy for
an army to divide. The Democracy
of the West will take no
steps backward, but will continue
to urge the absolute necessity of such
policy as above set forth, and will demand
that the ruinous policy dictated by the
money power monopoly of the east shall
be reversed and the resumption of specie
payments by force, regardless of the COM
mercisl interests and wants of the country.

the government for the ensuing two years.
But Gov. Morton would not do this. He chose
to usurp the authority the law did not give
him, and like Louis Napoleon, became
"council of state, legislative and execu-
tive at once" He went to Washington and
got $4,000 due the state from the general
government, and instead of putting it IN the
state treasury. where it belonged, he placed
1t in a safe in his own Office. He
borrowed money from several counties
in the state, and from banks
and bankers, and placed it in the same de-
pository. He designated this department of
his Office "the financial bureau" and at
once commenced sppropriating the funds to
persons and objects according to his SOW
ereign will. He kept his own accounts,
settled with himself, and did what he
pleased with the money thus obtained.
When he was doing this he knew that the
law of 1859 provided that all moneys be-
longing to the state should go into the state
treasury, and that the law OF 1861, approved
by himself-known as the embezzlement
law-visited the penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment upon all public officers that
used the public money contrary to law.
But he was aware that he had the army an
the federal government at his back and he
took the chances. Events proved that
he counted not without his host, for
at the next election, by intimidation,
by force, by ballot box stuffing, and by the
votes of soldiers living in other states, he
secured a majority of his friends in the
House, and enough senators to make tie
in the Senate. He soon, however, obtained
Democratic senator to act with the Repub-
licsns, and thus secured control of both
branches of the legislature. His borrowed
money was repaid with interest, and his
usurpstions approved. With the light of
this example before them, will the Ameri-
can people trust Oliver p. Morton with the
presidency? IT he will usurp power in In
diana, will he not do it at Washington?
If he will ignore all the departments of the
government, except his own, at one time.
will he not do it at another. If he
will override the constitution OF the state,
trample on laws approved by himself seize
the public money and pay it out on his own
volition in 1868, may he not do it in 1877 if
the opportunity is offered him? With the
army of the United States at his command,
and surrounded by men upon whom he
could rely, he would do anything, or dare
anything that his ambitious nature might
desire. He might not be averse to the role
of Cesar, and if he craved the purple he
would put it on. There is no safety to the
people when such men rule, and if Senator
Morton succeeds in his aspirations the
American people will have in the chair OF
Washington the most dangerous man that
ever occupied it.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1875-10-21

In yesterdays Sentinel we published a
sketch of Gov. Hendricks, taken from the
Chicago Times. The article was quite COM
chief of Indiana, but there are some insccu-
racies in its statements that demand cor
rection. The constitutional convention, OF
which Gov. Hendricks was a member, was
held in 1850, and not in 1852 as stated by
the Times. In 1852 he was elected to con-
gress from this district, his competitor being
the Hon. John II. Bradley, of this city. In
1854 he was a candidate for reelection, and
defeated by the Hon. Lucien Barbour.
This fact the Times states correctly
After his defeat he was appointed commits
sioner of the general land Office, and not
commissioner of patents, as stated in the
article we copied. The Times is also mis-
taken in its statement that Governor Hen
bricks was nominated for governor after his
senatorial termhsd expired. He made the
race against Governor Baker in 1868, while
he was a senator, his term not expiring
until the following March. The Times is
correct in its assertion that he received
majority of the votes at that election and
strumental in perpetrating this outrage
upon the people of Indiana claimed, as a
reward for the services in this nefarious
business, a prominent Office from the admin
istration of Mr.. Lincoln. General Cox, Of
Ohio, the secretary of the Interior, to whom
the application was made, was indignant at
the audacity of the oflice-seeker, and to
show his condemnation of the infamy, filed
with the government caveat against his
appointment. This caveat was respected as
long as Governor Cox had influence with
the administration, and no longer.

. by the unhappy conflict shall be forever
forgotten-the past buried in oblivion"
The soldiers, therefore, can not be in SYM
patty with the wrath, bitterness and malig-
nancy which the Journal seeks to arouse,
and by which Mr.. Morton hopes toplsce him
self IN the presidential chair. No soldier
could be insulted by the Sentinel's
scouting at the "bloodg Shirt"
which the Journal desires to
make the insignia of battle in the coming
political contest. The insult was from the
Journal, and though the Sentinel did not
employ lot of clsquers to raise shout in
front of its building as each regiment
passed, or perch itself in the
windows waving cheap flag,
yet the Sentinel was serenaded
by the soldier bands near q
dozen times during the day and night, ard
received unsought other kindly manifesto
tions of recognition.
The spirit of this personal organ is clearly
seen in the inuendo melting to mob vio-

The Ohio Canvass and the Democracy.

The result of the Ohio election, while not
so disastrous to the Democracy as tele-
graphed yesterday, is still defeat, and
should be a lesson well studied by those
who aim to direct and shape the policy
of the Democratic party in the COM
ing presidential campaign. That
there has been unwise leadership and mis-
management in the selection of candidates,
and errors in the conduct of the canvass
can not be denied, which have contributed
to lessen the power OF the
real issue with the people. The
course of the New York Democracy,
in advising the defeat of Mr.. Allen, was un-
wise and prejudicial to the cause, and ought
not to have been pursued If the unity of the
party was desired. In the absence of a
national platform to guide, with new issues
forced upon the country, the Democratic
party had a right to form their own plat
