The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-06-16
our TICKET.

The nominations of Landers and Grsy are
the strongest that the Democracy could
have made. The Republican PROFESSIONALLY
the JournaTof this city-are trying to break
their force by publishing garDled extracts Of
the records of OR candidates Bat this will
avail them nothing. Mr.. Landers, the head
OF the ticket, is one OF the best specimens OF
American pluck aud enterprise in the State.
Born poor, he has, by industry and economy,
risen to opulence A farmer, cultiyating
over 5000 of land, he is q
specimen of the best class OF men
who lay the real foundation Of the wealth OF
the State. A merchant and a trader, he is a
type OF that class Of men who make trade
and commerce rebound to the wealth and
honor of the country. While in public life
he impressed himself upon the legislation Of
his day. AS State Senator he took iead
ing part in the debates and legislation of
Indiana during the most critical period OF
her history; and as Representative in Con-
gress he made a record and reputation OF
which his constituents were proud. The
great exc cutive talents which enable him to
successfully conduct bis vast and varied pri-
vate interests will enable him to conduct with
equal success those of the State. Every man
who votes for him for Governor will aid in
elevating to the chief office of the State one
who will honor the place, and at the expir-
alton of his term of Office. leave tie execu
tive chair with clean hands and an unfair
nished reputation.
Colonel Gray the nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, Is able and plucky. He has
proven himself a master in parliamentary
tactics. His course in organizing the Senate
and his courtesy and urbanity in pre-
siding over it won him many more.
The truth OF the last assertion is evInced by
the fact that in his contest for the Governor
ship he had the warm and active support of
every Democratic Senator, with probably
three exceptions. This he would not have
received had his course as presiding officer
of the Senate not been impartial and able.
Should Mr.. Landers be elected Governor,
and by any untoward circumstance the Office
should become vacant, Colonel Gray could
take the place and discharge its duties with
eminent ability and with great acceptance
to the public.
The other nominees, with the exception
of Captain Mitchell and Professor Goodwin,
are the present incumbsnts of the offices to
which they aspire. They have proven them.
selves worthy and well qualified" and are
eminently worthy of the Endorsement which
awaits them. Captain Mitchell, the nomi
nee for Supreme Judge of the Fifth District
is one OF the abIest men north OF the Wabash
River. He is in the.prime of life; his private
character is above reproach, and his reputa-
ton as a lawyer is coextensivs with the
boundaries of Indiana He will honor the
bench aud fully sustain the character and
reputation of the highest Court in the State.
Professor Goodwin has high character
and will prove to be q worthy successor of
Professor Smart, one OF the ablest and best
known educators in the West.
Take the ticket all IN all, it is unexception-
able, and eminently worthy OF the support
of every Democrat and independent man in
the State. 1t will be elected by a tremend-
Gus majority, and those who don't want to
be run over must get out OF fits way.
