ming. comes to us with eight pages, double |
its usual size. Under its new management
the Sentinel is the best and ablest evening
daily in the State. We make no exceptions
Princeton has one there too. He is
sweet boon to any community. The Demo
crat says:
mo, indeed, i wouldn't have the dirty
aggravatlng sheet In my house i; and then he
the paper is out gobbies IL up, and, taking
seat upon the counter, squirts amber juice over
the floor until he has read every line.
The Wabash Courier gives Colonel Streight
"whack for his Fourth OF July bloody
shirt speech at Noblesville, and then rubs
"Jayhawker' as follows:

Is hardly day passes over his head that he
does not libel some one, and yet he Is second
on the list of arrant towards who have taken
advantage of the infamous Grubbs libel law.
II 1t Is possible for the G ubbs act to reach
"Jayhawker" we hope now that those whom
his pen defames will not be slow about bring
/ ing the gag into service A turning of the
tables in his case would be in strict conformity
with the most refined poetic justice.
The Valparaiso Messenger, with spine
erect on the patent outside question, says:
The attorney general of Indiana has been
| opinion with regard to the legality of legal
advertisements published in patents" The
all home printed sheets, filled with patent
medicine advertisements, hold that advertise
ments printed in "patents" are not legal. Nom
sense.

The Montezuma Era thinks that Hon.
Bayless w. Hanna ought to go to Congress.
1t says
Mr.. Hanna is lawyer of marked attain
ments, an aggressive and fluent speaker, and
| If nominated, he has the ability on the stump

racy.
The Boonville Enquirer says:
What's the matter? Within two days after
the Indianapolis Sentinel said that Benoni s.
Fuller would be the Democratic nominee for
Congress, every Radical paper In the district
opened its mud batteries and turned them on
| Mr.. Fuller. They know to their sorrow Fuller
is invulnerable with the people; that he did
beat Heiman in 1874, and can do 1t again.
We simply published communication
from q friend OF Mr.. Fuller's regarding his
candidacy for Congress. We had no other
information. The Enquirer says also in Its
last issue:
The Indianapolis Sentinel says the report
has leaked ont that little Benny Harrison has
vice presidential aspirations. Benny had
gubernatorial as pirations also in 1876, but 1t
remained for Blue Jeans Williams to sit down
on him. And Blue ''sot."
The Muncie Observer continues to whale
away at what il calls "the Indianapolis
ring" There is no ring" here, but there
are few wide-awake, earnest Democrats
hereabouts, who have checkmated for years
one of the smoothest.and most rascally gangs
of Republicans in the country, who would
have continued Ito count" Indiana for the
Republican ticket until the crack of doom,

was elected governor two or three times be-
fore he succeeded in getting his seat once.
Delaware county needs just such "a ring
Mr.. Observer, and has needed 1t for years;
SO get one up "p. d. q" and whIttIe down

the coming IL months, and so don't lei

The Sullivan County Democrat is fo'
''good old Ben Harrison" for governor. He
will be a good old'' citizen before he get
to be governor of Indiana. He is running

whatever that is.
The Cambridge City Tribune save:
, indianapolis will soon contest with Cincin

America"-if not on account of its places

The Marion Chronicle does not propos
that one of the Republican members of th'
1 last Legislature shall bloom and blossom OF

When Cadwaliader, of locomotive whistlini
fame, was elected to the Legislature, he re
. marked TO Governor Gray:
J. "Colonel, l propose to be heard from thf
session. don't intend to sit in silence. I'm

The Benton Democrat says
