GEMS FROM THE INDIAN



JOURNAL.
Our esteemed contemporary appeared on
the 9Th inst. with an eagle spread over its
first, and spread. eagle head lines and ex-
pressions upon all its pages. 1t is ever the
SentinePs pleasure to reproduce from its e.
C. anything particularly good found in it,
This is not of daily occurrence-more's the
pity-but it did dist nguish itself on the 9th
to degree which now challenges our warm.
est admiration. We invite attentive
reading of the appended paragraphs. Some
of them are rich in humor. Indeed, the
Sentinel will so far compliment its 9. C. as to
say that nothing in recent literature
has afforded more delectable enjoyment
to the Sentinel, and we are unsel6sh enough
to have our readers share the treat. The
passages following have been selected at
random from the Journals editorial page Of
Thursday, 9th inst. 1t will be remembered
that the Sentinel had displayed its fine
Democratic rooster on the previous day:

the slightest provocation.
Kentcuky men and money failed to take
care of Indiana" on Tuesday, as the full re-
turns will show, we think.
Now let Henry Ward Beecher, Carl Schurz
and George William Curtis take their way

the "ROgues March,"
The Republican party deserves unstinted
praise for its magnificent fight and defeat of
q candidate that would have entailed ever
lasting disgrace upon the Nation.
There must have been great consumption

on Tuesday night But what woeful dis

Chairman Henderson ought make good
the losses of the Democrats whom he adj
vised to bet on Cleveland, { Tuesday night.
The misled Democrats consider that he car
ried the Joke too far.
The Journal proposes to be safe. 1t mis-
leads no one willfully. II gives the news.
1t tells the TRUTH 1t does not display its
poultry until the proper time. 1t does not
prematUrely mount upon eagles wings.
When it puts its flag up it is there to stay.
Against murder, mugwumpery, personal
vanity iufampd epOtism and Mr. Rpecher's
adulterers, the Republican party has won a
glorious triumph. Once more the deck Is
cleared, and the party can go ahead in a
career of usefulness, having laid aside every
weight.
