NO MORE DIsrRrsT
From the Seymour DemecratJ
The Indianapolis Sentinel has changed
hands. and is now under the control of Hon.
John C. Shoemaker and Hon. yames p.
Ryan. 1t will be thoroughly democratic
now.
PIoUs METAPHOR.
From the Kosomo Democrat
The Hons. John G. Shoemaker, ex-auditor
of state, and JAS. B. Ryan, have purchased
controlling interest in the Indianapolis
Sentinel, and will make it ''red hotv dem
ocratic sheet. A baptism in the pure wa
ters Of modern democracy is what the Senti-
nel needs 70 De saved.
STROKE OF FRIEND.
From the Madison CourierI
The Courier, strong and uncompromis-
ing republican organ, says: The Indianap-
oils Journal is indulging In a style of edi-
toria' personalities that reflects no credit
upon itself. Yesterdays abusive article
against the retiring editor of the Seminal
will do the author more harm than the snb
ject of the attack.
wAGGISH AND WITTY
From the Richmond independent
The Indianapolis Sentinel has been max
ing thorough change of base, and will
most likely become an organ of democracy.
They have wind, and a small boy to pump
the bellows and If thew do not manufac-
ture a superior wind music for the campaign
we are mistaken. We trust that the supply
of brain vigor will not run out so that thew
will want their fish back.
REPUBLICAN DoUBrING THOMAS.
From the Anderson Herald.l
The Indians polls Sentinel has changed
hands, the good John Fishback selling his
interest to John G. Shoemaker and James
b. Ryan. The Sentinel will doubtless
aspire to be simon-pure democratic paper
now, whatever that is. 1t has been parted
from it's old time mooriDgs for so great a
while that it is doubtful whether the faith
ful" will ever sgaiJ acknowledge its leader
ship.
CONGRATULATIONS.
From the Greencastle Press
Mr.. Fishbsck bas sold his entire interest
in the Indianapolis Sentinel, and the con-
trolling stock has passed into the hands of the
Hon. John c. Shoemaker and the Hon. James
b. Ryan, the former becoming president and
a orxy nf Ar
Fishback is to be congratulated on the suc-
cess that has attended his journalistic expe-
rience. and his successors will do well If
they make the Sentinel as good paper as
1t has bsen under his management.
VIEWS OF A FAIR REPUBLICAN.
From the Martinsville Republican,
Atlsst the Indianapolis Sentinel has passed
out of the control of John Fishback and into
the control of the old simon pure bourbon
democracy again, John G. Shoemaker and
Jim Ryan, having bought Mr.. Fps interest.
1t seems that the democrats are bound to
have an organ that they can rely upon. Al
though the politics of the Sentinel has been
little "off color, and not so servile as strict
party men would wish, under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Fishback it was q better paper
than it ever was before.
PERSONAL TRIBUTE.
From the Charlottesville ReviewJ
The Hon. John c. Shoemaker, ex-suditor
of state, has bought of John Fishback the
controlling interest in the stock of the In
disnspolis Sentinel Company. and has taken
charge of the Office. 1t is said that no
change will be made in the editorial staff.
As a majority of the ockholders are be-
lieved to be infiationists, it is probable that
the Sentinel will no longer be the advocate
OF hard money Mr.. Shoemaker is an ex-
oalla lam Lr1
the state, possessing brilliant reputation,
and highly moral and intellectual worth.
We shall watch its sentiment with much
interest.
PUNGENT REPRIxAND.
From the Terre Haute Journal
The most amazing specimen of low, vul-
gar and cowardly newspaper meanness we
ever remember to have seen is the Indanspo-
lis Journals attack pom Mr.. John Fishback,
the retiring editor of the Sentinel. 1t is well
known that we have no respect for the
course OF the Sentinel as a political paper,
under the management of Mr.. Fishback nor
have we ever had any occasion to be overly
friendly with him. But when the Journal
waits until he has retired from the editorial
held and then makes such a personal attack
as it did in its issue OF the 2Sth, it simply
writes itself down q pusillanimous cow
ard, sucn as assassiDs are made Of
settled now, we believe. that the Indianapo-
lis Sentinel has passed into the hands of the
democrats at last, and will henceforth advo-
cate democratic doctrine according to the
acknowledged meaning of the term, as set
tied by the voice of the people of the coun-
try, and especially of this state. We wish
all democratic newspaper enterprises well.
and we are especially rejoiced to welcome to
the ranks journal that will in a sound
manner fill want so long ielt. May she
live long.
