The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1885-07-15

But strange, isn't it, that a Democrat who
was elected Governor of a Republican
State, and on the fyaudism, should
have perpetrated a blunder so gross.
AL of the crime eliminating in
the Inauguration of q man to the Presidency,
whom the American people had rebuked at
the ballot-box, was known to Governor
Hoadly. The central thought of his cam
paign was the wrong inflicted upon the Re
public by Withholding from Mr.. Tilden an
office to which ne had been legally elected.
No man better than he, knows that of ali the
crimes incur annals, not absolutely attended
by bloodshed, Index Noyes connived at the
wickedest. The scoundrelism that could
eliminate in such villainy, was not the rash
act of a thOughtless moment. 1t was in the
bone, and pemeated every fiber of his physi-
ology and controlling the spirit. Jerre
Black said that no man, who had not
completely lost the faculty of blusbing
would claim that Hayes was elected Every
rogue who cOnspired against an honest elec-
toral expression was rewarded. i doubt the
honesty of any man except Fred Douglass,
who held an apprentice office during the
period that fraud, first triumphant in Ameri-
can history, fiourished. An that Julian's
attack upon and subsequent reply to SchurZ
implied, time will reveal that the Interior
Department then was. Tell it to the Ute
Indians that an honest Secretary would
ever have allowed the patentipg of
this may be ctIt short With all his strength
gone, HOadley has testified to the fraud, and
now we have him recommending for honor
able office one of the principal cOnspirators.
The Ohio man continued his discourse with
something like this "When Governor HOad-
ley realizes the mistake he has made he Will
be greatly humiliated."

a pull altogether made by the Indi-
ana delegation while Mr.. Hendricks was here
in the interest of Hon. Eb Henderson's rec
OgnitiOn. 1t argued, L am informed,
that the Withholding of reward from
Mr.. Henderson will in the future be likely
to dampen the ardor of aspiring young men
uosing as committeeman. An Indian agency
was asked, lbut neither the President nor Mr..
Lamar said ANYTHING that could be construed
into encouraging. Both gentlemen suggested
that Indiana men were being urged too Wig
OrOusly, and that the State ought to be salts
fled with the appointments already made.
While in talents and possibilities of service
the Indianians called by President Cleveland
to office certainly average big, the State in
proportion TO the vote falls short of having
her share. State Statistician Peelle who re-
Gently circulated with interesting activity
among the departments, might perhaps best
promote the interests of his friends by plung-
ing into rule and figure work on this subject.

The redistricting OF the State for Congress
siOnal purposes by the last Legislature is not
a matter of large Democratic pride, so far as
] have been able to learn. For Judge Ward,
its victim, large sympathy is expressed, but
political sympathy is only the uncertain
evidence of quantity that was never known
to materialize. Before coming to Washing
ton happened to know something of the
hold Judge Ward had upon the respect and
confidence of his people. / held to the
opinion that he could carry the district
against any Republican. Since seeing
more of him, becoming acquainted
with his ability and fidelity,
two elements that must center in all publicists
OF strength, have got 10 know why. He is
not a rich man. Doxey, through Wallace, of
Lafayette, during the last campaign accused
him of living in a rented house, but he has
remained at Washington and faithfully la
bored for his friends He has steadily grown
upon the administration. as he must grow
upon all who care TO learn him we'll and the
results under the circumstances have been
very gratifying, and the future is full of
promise. JAP TURPEN.
