We see that some of our republican
exchanges. basing their statement on
the conjecture Of q correspondent OF the
Chicago Times, are asserting that the
indianapolis Sentinel will not support
the national democratic ticket. The fol-
lowing editorial utterance, in its issue
of July 3, hardly bears them out. The
Sentinel says:-"Indiaua will elect the
democratic ticket by double the major
ity of 1876. Its democrats are an abso-
lutte unit for the national and state tick
cts. They deserve success. and success
they will have. The little amusement
which claims, claims, claims give to
Col. New and his friends they are most
welcome to, but the democracy has the
state now, and it intends to hold it. and
no republican effort or money will be
able to wrest 1t from them. We trust
that the republicans of other states will
remember that they must get along with
out Indiana, and act accordingly"
