The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-08-16

The Sentinel surrenders a large part of
it's space to-day to the publication of the
speech delivered at Madison on the 10 b
inst, by the Honorable John Robert Cra-
vens. The speech has great merit as a lit
erary production, and is worthy of careful
consideration from the fact that its author
is one of those earnest anti-slavery men
who founded the Republican patty. When
Senator Morton, Albert G. Porter and
many other OF the present leaders of the
Republican parry were in full accord
with the Southern people on the subject OF
slavery, Judge Cravens was battling in
Indiana to build up public sentiment
hostile to the peculiar institution. He was
known as an sntl-slavery man when to be
one required no small amount of cour-
age and sacrifice OF political stand
ing. For in these days an sbOlitionIst
was outside OF any healthy. political or
gsniz alton, and in the estimation of many
was entitled no more to social than to po-
litical recognition. On the formation of
the Republican party he became one of its
most active members, and there are bu5
few men in the s ate who did more to in
sure its success than he. For many wears
he was its leader in the Senate, He was
elected president of that body, and pre-
sided over its deliberations with dignity
and ability. Four years ago he went into
the Liberal movement, and was the canoi-
date on the ticket with Governor Hen
bricks for lieutenant governor of the state.
As is known, he was not elected, and
since that time he has been out OF
politics. He now comes bsfore the people,
aud gives Them his reasons for supporting
Tilden and Hendricks. Thai they ars
good ones, is eYinced by the fact they are
satisfactory to himself. A student of pc
litical economy for macy years, with al
Democratic party, he nevertheless throws
the prejudices of the past behind him and
boldly takes a place in tie grand army
marching to victory under the banner OF
Tilden, Hendricks and r form. The rea-
sons he has for doing this may be found in
the speech we publish this morning. His
views on finauce are not those of msior-
ity of the Democracy OF Indiana, and,
while dissenting rom this part of his
speech we can commend it, as a whole, to
the careful consideration of our readers.
The fact that so many of the original
anti slavery men OF the country are now
acting with the Democratic party is q suf
fcieut answer to the charge OF Morton
aud his like, tn the Democratic party Is
hostile to the negro add would re-er slave
dim had it the power. The snti-slsvery
candidate for the vics-presidency in lS4S.
Charles Francis Ada ms, and the candidate
OF that party for the same office
in 1852, George w. Julian, are both
supporters OF our national ticke', and In
the position he has taken. Judge Crsvens
is supported by many other men noted for
their devotion 10 the anti-slsvery cause al
a time when such devotion brought con-
tumely and social os.raclsm. Lst this FACT
be remembered when the old anti-slsvery
men OF the country come to the pills to

What the people demand in the present
is honesty in those who occupy official
station, that cast of off cisl integrity that
preserves inviolste its pledges TO the peo-
pie. II such men 60 before the people in a
canvass. toe electors know lust what to do.
The Hon. Franklin Landers possesses po-
liticsl honesty in an eminent degree. His
fsithfulness eau not be impeached.
When he entered the canvass here two
years ago, the views he advocated were
not so popular as they how are, but he ut
tered his sentiments with the conviction OF
an honest man, and the people trusted to
his word. He has redeemed his
pledges in word and spirit, at times
against the popular current, and meet
log the condemnation of some of his
political friends. Some OF his views on
finance have been extreme, at least they
nave been in advance of his party's plat
form declarations, but he has deceived no.
body about them. The people knew his
views, and elected him.
He is now sgsin pI seed In nomination,
not by his own seeking. not with his own
wish, but againss his wishes. His friends

servant, and they wish him to be returned.
