1t is grand mistake to suppose that the
Democratic canvass is declining ia interest
or enthusiasm. The Sentinel receives daily
accounts of enthusiastic meetings through
out the state The meeting at Marion last
Saturday is worthy of special notice. 1t

jollifcation, with generous bondiires, Chinese
lanterns, torches and fire works. There, as
elsewhere the victory OF October has in

THE GRAIN TRADE OF INDIANAP.


The highways of commerce are being
fixed, and We might as we'll admit first as last
that they are not in any instance natural
highways. Mans indomitable win and perse-
verance have either hewed down the noun
tains or tunneled them, they have bridged
rivers and spanned chasms until the natural
highways, il circuitous, are abandoned, and
the railway has superseded the water courses

ducts of the interior, are sought by the most

merchants have sought to control 70 any
large extent the wealth of the cultivated
fields of the West. The first elevator was
erected in 1862, and now we have six with a
capacity of storing 900 bushels of grain,
and as the business increases others will be
erected, until indianapolis will be recognized
as one of great grain centers of the country.

between the two houses. Senator Morton
writes letter to the same paper clarifying
the part taken by himself in previous legis-

standpoint the present status of the case.

The Republicans of Indiana wiped out 1900

bravely as they did befOre.-,IOurnal.
This wiping out progress is very pleasant
to the Indiana Democrats. 1t has wiped out

The Republican party, that has ruled Yer

made its mark Since 1860 the population
of the state has increased per cent The
total expenses of the state since 1850 have
increased from $4,000 to $4,000, or los

Seventeen acts passed Congress making
grants of land to corporations while Hayes
was in Congress, and he voted for every one
of them. He is fully committed to the pol
icy of giving away the public lands, and for
this reason is an unsafe man to put in the pres
idential chair. Think of this, you voters OF
Indiana, who are looking to tie great West
for homes, and vote against this friend of
the great corporations.
