The Meat of Letters Too Long for Publioa-

81 AN 4 DEMOCRAT" is the signature of
gentleman who writes from MuDcie say
ing: The attempt to create the impress
sion that Hill is strong, much less a popu-
lar favorite in this city or this county, will
deceive NOBODY" He says that of the
300 democrats in Delaware county not
one in ten is for Hill. He adds:
The most conspicuous democrat among
the millions who are still devoted patrons
OF the old school OF patriotism, by reason
of his courageous character and firm and
unselfish devotion to the peoples best
interests is, it is needless to state Grover
Cleveland-a man who has an abiding
faith in the people and they the utmost
confidence in him. The demand for his
nomination and reelection is as universal
among the democratic masses as 1t was for
Tilden and Hendricks In 1850. The rank
and file OF even the New York democracy
will not indorse, much less submit to- the
Tammany machine, which is engineered
by and for David Bennett Hill. The fact.
and it is serious fact, that thousands of
democrats everywhere believe that Mr.. Hill
Is responsible for the defeat OF the national
democratic ticket an his state In 1883 is
sufficient of itself why he should not be
nominated in 1892. If Senator Hill and
his friends wish TO be vindlcated from that
charge of unfaithfulness on their part
there is but one possible way oDen for
them to do so, and that is to join in the
almost universal demand OF the demo-
cratic masses for the denomination and
election OF Grover Cleveland. Not to do
so under the circumstances will tend to
strengthen and intensity the belief that
Cleveland and Thurman, and through
them the national democracy, were sold
out in New York in iSSS by those who do
now, as then, profess to be genuine dem
ocrats as, Tor example, the New Ork
San"
STATE PRIDE, Portland, Ind, takes strong
exceptions to Samuel Newcomers recently
expressed views on the presidential ques-
ton. He criticises the course of President
Cleveland in appointing Thomas /. James
as postmaster of New York. State Pride"
says: Il can assure Mr.. Newcomer that
he need have no fears OF the GRAY men in
Jay or Adams counties selling out 10 Hill
or TO Mr., Cleveland either. \ great many
believe that TO the state OF Indiana be-
longs the right to name the democratic
nominee for president, and Isaac 2. Gray
is the man to lead the party to a glorious
victory in the melancholy days OF Novem-
her,
Neither Cleveland nor Hill can carry
either New York or Indiana or any other
northern state. But with Gray for president
and any other good man for vice presi-
dent we will carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut Indiana and the entire West
and Northwest"
r. T. H., who writes from Plainfeld,
thinks it essential to party success that
both Hill and Cleveland be thrown over
board, though he thinks if Cleveland
were elected "he would inaugurate a pol
icy strictly in harmony with the desires Of
the masses OF the people" and admires
the pluck and invincible will power of
David B. Hill" r. +. II. is for GRAY and
concludes: Indiana should present solid
phalanx in his interest at Chicago. State
pride demands it; the interest OF the
national democracy demands it; there is
nothing TO lose and much to gain by
solid work from now until the national
convention"
ID. a. WOODs of Kokomo, who admires
THE SENTINEL in every other way, SAYS he is
''about tired" of its constant warfare" on
senator I'LL. lie ASKS II Illll ls q criminal
or an immoral man or il TIE SENTINEL can
point to a single act of his personal dis
honesty" just as if somebody had charged
Mr.. Hill with something of the sort, though
so far as The SENTINEL knows nobody has
Mr. Woods thinks he has solved the whole
problem and boldly asserts that Hill is a
democrat and the editor of THE SENTINEL is
q mugwump. He says the hosts of the
"old guard" in indiana just fairly love
Hill.
n. G. MCINTOSH of Newark, Ind, writes:
1.-THE people like Cleveland for the enc
mics he has made. If the leaders stand
idly by and allow Tammany hall to saw
who shall b. the nominee the people will
also stand by and see him elected by
Tammany. Give us Cleveland, Gray or
some other good man, but nerer nominate
Hill"
w. J. HLLIGoSs of Muncie scolds THE
SENTINEL at great length because it has
criticised Senator Hills methods and calls
such course suicidal. of Mr.. Hill he
saws: CAS- leader of parties he stands
out head and shoulders above any man in
the democratic party" Is this an admis-
sion that he is not in the democratic
party now2
