The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-10-17


Has the Journal any more conspicuous
examples of prosperity to exhibit" is
a query p~ropounded by the Indianapolis
Sentinel. The Journal likes to be obliging,
and for the edification of persons who
possess ordinary intelligence and are open
to conviction, but without any hope of
convincing a ~thick-and-thin Bryanite. it
will cite a few evidences of what Mr..
Bryan calls sham prosperity" Many
people have short memories, and many
have forgotten how dead business was
during the last Democratic administra-
ton, and what a wonderful revival there
was as soon as it was known Mckinley
was elected. AS evidence Of the latter we
quote some dispatches from the Indianap-
oils Sentinel, during the few days follow
ing the election of 1896. The election oc-
