The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1889-09-11

THE negroes all over the North are be-
coming restless under the indignities and
insults heaped upon them by the leaders
and organs OF the republican party. The
Cleveland World, an intelligent organ OF
the colored men, serves notice upon the
republican managers that 'we care moth
ing for what the republican party has
done; it is what it is doing today. We
are citizens of to-day and not OF quarter
OF century ago. The republican party
has become so thoroughly confident OF
our undivided support for past favors'
that it has wholly forgotten us. 1t has
taken it for granted that we are republic
ans and must needs be because of these
past favors.'" The World proceeds to
say that the negro proposes to be his own
political master hereafter. The colored
press all over the country is talking in
this vein. Evidently, the e. o. p. no
longer owns the colored voters of the
country, body and soul, as in times past.
From the official treasury statement of
Sept 1:
$1,000.
Net cash Csurplusl on hand........... 4S4s99O9 "a
Excess of deposits over surplus. ASS, Oes So
From Candidate b. HARRISoN's letter
OF acceptance:
The surplus now in the treasury should be
used in the purchase of bonds. The law au-
thorizes this use of it. and il it is not now
needed for current or deficiency appropria-
tons the people, and not the banks in aohich It
has BEN deposited, should have the advantage
of its use by stopping interest on the public
debt.
From the Indianapolis Journal:
His professions of personal honesty are en-
titled TO no more weight than his civil service
reform professions. We judge men by their
acts and their lives not by their professions
A president who has shown himself to be
thoroughly INSCRIPTIONS and untrustworthy in
politics has no right 70 complain if, under sus-
picious circumstances, his personal honesty is
questioned. IL the president Is directly or in
directly a party TO the transaction by which
favored banks are profting to the extent of
$1,000, 600 year by these enormous deposits Of
government funds, he is personally dishonest.
THAT able republican paper, the Evans
Vile Journal, says:
Both political parties ought 20 be very care
full next year, in nominating candidates for
superintendent of public instruction, not to
nominate persons under pay OF the octopus.
There is reason 70 believe that for many years
this malign influence has dictated the nomina-
zion and election of men who, while nominally
serving the state of Indiana, were really the
paid agents of the school-b0ok monopoly.
The people are aroused on this subject, and il
either party nominates such q man there is
likely to be an explosion. There are republi-
can papers, for instance, who will not support
such a nomination on their side of the political
household. and on the democratic side the
same result will follow. Indiana has had
enough of this kind Of tactics
No man even suspected of sympathy
with the school book octopus will stand the
ghost OF a chance of nomination for the
state superintendency by the democratic
convention next year. Nor do we believe
the republican convention win dare to
nominate an octopus candidate for the
Office. The people Of Indiana have had
