To Our Readers:

We shall print THE INDIANA STATE SEN
TrNEL one day later than usual next week
in order to give our readers the results OF
the election.
The campaign is finished so far as our
efforts are concerned. Politics has mo,
nopolized large share of our space fol
four months past Hereafter we shall de,
vote more attention to general matters
to the farm and household, the
family, the ladies, the children. We shall
print more fiction, and poetry, and
sketches, and general news and state news
We shall introduce lots of new featu res.
We intend to make THE INDIANA STATE
SENTINEL the best general weekly newspa-
per in the United States.
BY the way, reader, have you sent in
your guess vet on the size of CLEVELAND s
plurality in Indiana? If not, do so at
once, and take chance for THE SEN
TINEL's one-hundred-dollar prizes. See
the announcement elsewhere.

sible, he sanctioned a movement TO bring
RILEY McKEEN forward for the senator
ship, the plan being to buy several mem
bers OF the legislature for the latter. He
has never repudiated, disavowed or con-
demned single republican fraud. He
has been thick-and-thin, narrow, intol-
Grant, bigoted partisan all his days. He
never voted for a democrat in all his life.
II he were president, the civil service
would soon revert to the corrupt condi-
ton it was in during the days of Grant
ism. HARRISON is no more of civil SER
vice reformer than SIMON CAMERON or JIM
BLAINE, and the attempt of the Nears to
represent him as such is as silly as it
would be to claim BOB INGERsoLL as an
orthodox Calvinist.

News Attack on Gresham.

1t may be the part of political wisdom for
Mr.. John G. New and other friends of Gen.
Harrison to keep rapping the friends of Judge
Gresham in this state over knuckles, and then
again it may not. Judge Gresham has many
warm friends in this state who are ardent re-
publicans, but they will not vote for any man
who allows his chief advisers 10 constantly in
dulge in dirty, low insults aimed at them. The
Gresham men were honest in their advo-
feet right to take the position they did. The
republican party does not belong to New, Har-
rison or any other man, and they cannot die
tate control the actions or thoughts of all
men OF their political complexion. The sooner
they find this out the better. Judge Gresham
is pure, honest and highminded man, and
no greater or better exists in Indiana to-day.

A Last Word.

This is the last issue of The INDIANA
STATE SENTINEL that will reach its readers
before the presidential election. We
hope that in our next issue we shall be
able to announce the triumphant re-
election of tried and true GROVER
CLEVELAND. Honest, able and fear
less - patriotic, upright and far
seeing = he has made almost all
ideal executive. He has given the
people a pure administration. He
has elevated the civil service. He has in
troduced great reforms into every depart
ment of the government. He has en-
forced economy and retrenchment every
where. He has fought the public plum
derers, OF high and low degree, with I'M
exampled fearlessness and vigor. He has
illustrated and enforced the grand doc
trine of public Office is public trust. !"
He has crushed the great land and
cattle rings of the West that had
grown wealthy and powerful by their
depredations upon the public domain.
He has restored to the people many
millions of acres given by republican adj
ministrations to railroad corporations
These are a few of the things which
GROVER CLEVELAND has done since he be-
came president of the United States, and
we have not mentioned his greatest and
noblest act-the writing of the tariff re-
form message, which will pass into his
tory as one of the grandest utterances
ever made by an American president.
GROVER CLEVELAND has been a presi-
dent OF the people. All the great corpor-
atoms and monopolies-the stock jobbers
OF Wall-st. and the grain gamblers of Chi
cago, the factory lords and the iron kings
and the coal barons, the syndicates OF
great capitalists, the jobbers and lobby
ists-all this vile crew are fighting against
his reelection. Shall these prevail against
the wishes of the people2 Shall the
Money Power ruler
We urge every legal voter who has read
THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL during this
campaign to give next Tuesday to his
country. Go to the polls early and vote,
and then see to it that every democratic
voter in your precinct gets in his vote.
Make arrangements to convey the old, the
infrm, the feeble, the ailing to the polls
Look after the lukewarm or Indifferent
democrats. See that the republicans do
not run in any illegal votes. They are
desperate and will resort to any means to
gain success.
The contest is an important
one. 1t is the people against
the Money Power. The millions against
the millionaires. The masses against the
classes. The democratic ticket stands for
honest government and tariff reform.
This election means great benefits to every
farmer and every workingman in the
land.
If every democrat in Indiana does his
duty from now until the polls close next
Tuesday night we shall carry Indiana by
$1,000 plurality.
Down with monopoly taxes!

.sThe Sentiners" Guessing Contest

The guessing contest on the size OF
CLEvELAND's plurality in Indiana is prov
ing a great success. Hundreds of guesses
have been received, and they range from
q small number to one that it takes five
figures to express. Nearly every state and
territory In the country is represented.
and it is a noticeable, and, we think. very
significant fact that the average guess" OF
those who live in the state, and have the
best opportunity to make intelligent esti-
mates. average considerably higher than
those from a long distance. The odd
numbers greatly predominant.
The result of this unique contest will be
awaited with good deal OF interest by all
the participants The winners OF the
prizes viii earn regulations as keen OBJ
servers and wise prophets that will al
ways adhere to them. Besides, they will
get from ten to fifty dollars each in cash,
and they will get the best weekly paper
IN the West for year. Those who do
not win the prizes will get more than
their moneys worth, not to speak of the
fun OF guessing. for they, too, will receive
The INDIANA STATE SENTINEL for one
year.
Only six days remain in which to send
in your guesses. Those which are received
after the polls close Tuesday, Nov. s, will
not be considered.

Pretty Incident i'm PoIiuc..

''Mayor Chaplin" says the New York Sun,
received an ovation which must have been
very gratifying to him, and which fairly made
his charming wife dance for joy in her box.
Mrs. Chaplin is always charming, but in the
eyes of the democracy she never appeared more
attractive than last night. She is a democrat
OF the democrats, too, for in plain view of the
entire audience she carried a long white silk
Cleveland and Thurman badge pinned to the
tinguished husbands triumph, How her eyes
watched his every movement, and her lips
twitched convulsively whenever the audience
cheered him To the fortunate few who were
in the secret of the identity of the handsome
woman in the lower left proscenium box this
was the prettest and most touching incident of
the evening"

A WARNING TO LABOR.
Ben Harrison and the Great Moneyed Cor
pOrations.


To THE EDIToR-Sir: What else but
the moneyed interests of the great corpo-
rations OF the country could have moved
Vanderbilt and Depew-two private indi-
viduals, hut millionaires-to pay visit IN
royal state 10 Ben Harrison? These men
are not addicted 10 political enthusiasm
for particular candidates Tor office OF any
kind. They are not in the habit of paw
ing their respects in state even to preSi-
dental candidates, without a purpose
other than simple courtesy. The methods
by which their immense fortunes were
acquired were not interspersed with
junkets during political campaigns,
merely for the pleasure they afford
aside from moneyed interest in them.
Lions do not gambol with lambs. and
milliOnaires do not visit a plant presiden-
tial candidate for the sake OF q frolic. 1t
means business-sober, earnest, intense
business of the kind that pays If any
thing was wanting to convince the labor
ing men of this country that Ben Har-
rison is not sincere in his professions OF
love for them, this visit OF two powerful
money kings supplies it, and if the labor
ing classes fail to see it in its true light be-
fore the election, they may see it to their
sorrow afterward. But it is hoped they
will see it in time to be warned by its
portentous significance
The republican party is relying largely
upon the supposed ignorance of wage
earners. Its sophisms upon the tariff
prove that. But when we see Vanderbilt
and Depew visiting Harrison, in splendor,
we must surely know that the visit was
not prompted by desire to promote the
welfare OF wage-earners. The meaning is
the reverse OF this 1t means a tighter
grip of capital upon the throat of labor
1t means weakening, If not a breaking
up. of labor organizations. 1t means the
prevention of Strikes" 1t means the
domination of capital over labor in every
department OF industry. 1t means Blaine
behind the throne. welding the scepter
of state in the interest OF corporations,
trusts and combines of every kind known
to capital against demoralized, bewilered,
bamboozled labor. 1t was Caesar crossing
the Rubicon, and not even his death could
restore to Rome her lost liberties. Let
the laboring classes of the United States
take timely warning at this ominous
''mOve" on the political chess-board.
