Warsaw Times
The Indianapolis Journal, on the morning fol-
lowing the death of Vice. president Hendricks.
furnished report of every detail of the sudden
death so full and carefully arranged as to create
astonishment among newspaper men. at any
rate The Sentinel although of the same politi-
cal faith as the deceased Vice-president. did not
begin to compare with the Journal, and it was
piece OF reportorial enterprise that is deserving
of special commentator and praise. This is
not the first time, by any means. that the In
dlanapos Journal has shown itself to be a first
class wide awake newspaper, with all that the
terms imply. On the death of Garfield, and
afterwards, it gave the fullest details Of the
funeral cortege that conveyed him to his tomb,
and in many other instances-where not only
speed but great care and elaborateness was de-
manded-the journal has, in many instances
excelled Its contemporaries In much larger cities
than indianapolis. The Journal is credit to the
State and Nation.
FAITHFULLY PORTRAYED.
Lawrenceburg Register (Dem.)
The Indianapolis journal opposed Mr. Hen
bricks politically, while living with all the vigor
of its strong columns, but dead. no paper has
done him greater honor. It's columns draped in
mourning, have been since this sad event almost
exclusively devoted to the dead statesman; and
its expressions of respect and esteem for the
noble qualities of head and heart of the deceased
as feelingly and as earnestly given SIS any of
litical faith. Every detail connected with his
DEATH the words of praise the long lists of tele-
grams of sympathy from every part of the coun-
try to the bereaved widow, the funeral and
burial, were all faithfully portrayed in its col
umns, for which it is entitled to due praise.
A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
Charlottesville Argus News.
The Indianapolis Journal is by far the best
paper for the general reader that reaches Craw-
fordsville All of its departments are ably edited,
and 1T supports well-paid corps Of correspond
ents, thereby insuring the latest and most reli-
able State and national news. Although of 8
political faith opposite to that of the late Vice
president yet no paper in the country devoted
more time or space in giving an account of his
life, public services, death and funeral. The
Journal is essentially paper for the people, and
every lndanian who takes a city paper should
not be without it.
A FUND OF INFORMATION.
Upton Advocate.
Without the Indianapolis journal the people
of Indiana would have been at loss for detailed
accounts of the death, life and career OF Thomas
A. Hendricks The remarkable fund of infor-
nation was prepared and circulated all over the
State in less than twelve hours after his death
The Journal was sought after when all other
papers went begging.
THE FULLEST ACCOUNT.
Lebanon Patriot.
The Indianapolis Journal gave the fullest ac-
count of all that transpired from the time that
Mr. Hendricks died until he was buried, of any
paper in the city. 1t takes the lead not only Of
Indiana papers but of all Western dailies. In
some things, however, we think it rather over
did the matter.
WITH ABILITY, FAIRNESS AND COMPLETENESS =
Greencastie Times.
The indianapolis Daily Journal has handled
the matter of Vicepresident Hendricks death

ness of detail The Journal is daily adding to
its laurels as first-class metropolitan news

TRULY REPUBLICAN,.

lot and fair count in all elections.
