polls Sentinel, has four columns Of
clubbing in its last Mondays edi-
ton, trying to avoid and ridicule
quite number of its democratic
critics over its erroneous ideas in
regard to the Ohio democratic plat
form, and what the party should do
in 1894. If it follows the lead Of
the Sentinel the party will 60 to the
devil in 1904, sure. 1t tells of a
bargain between Boss Croker and
Boss Platt, leaked out at the Kan
sas City convention, and the reader
will wonder if that bargain, or one
similar in regard to Indiana, has
been made between Boss Hanna,
Boss Mclean, Boss Durbin and
would-be Boss Morss, as to the po-
sition the Democracy Of Indiana
should take in its next State con-
vention, so as to make it impossi-
bic for the Democrats to carry the
state for either State or Presidential
tickets in 1904.
To carry its assertions to the only
logical conclusion the Sentinel
should go to hell and resuscitate
Grover Cleveland for a democratic
candidate in 1904. His admins
tration stinks in the nostrils of all
honest democrats today for his per-
fidious Icing and bold treachery to
the platform upon which he was
elected, and they have damned him,
and all other New York and New
Jersey so-called Democrats with
him, for their adherence to his bull
headed policies, which ruined, and
was intended to kill the democracy,
and pave the way for plutocracy to
govern henceforth and forever, and
the democracy would have retired
from politics in 1896, had not the
matchless and honest Bryan, with
his great eloquence and political
discernment, have instilled new life
into it.
The Sentinel in its article, which,
by the way, is a very readable one,
leaving out its reference to "Uncle
Dan Mcdonald" who was an ac-
tive democrat before Morss was
thought Of, presents in the best
light possible the propositions OF
the boilers in 1896 and 1900, to the
Democracy to let them come back
and lead the party once more. The
Democracy don't want them back
They were traitors at critical time,
and if permitted to lead again, or
even take part in Democratic coun-
sells, honest masses of Democrats
would prefer voting straight Re-
publican ticket, and are likely to do
SO.
The Clevelands, Olneys, Dave
Hills, Bynuins, Cookers, Jewetts,
Wattersons, Haldeinans, Frenzels,
ct omnes genus, have had their day,
and should retire to the eternal
shades of oblivion.
But If the Sentinel succeeds in
getting the Democracy OF one cam
paign to see it, principles" then
advocated called policies TIL.
next time, it should come out bold
ly for Cleveland for president,
Watterson for vice-president, w.
d. Bynnm for Congress in the In
dianapolis district; Charlie Jewett
for governor; Hugh Dougherty for
lieutenant governor; j. p. Frenzel
for treasurer Of state, and others
like them for the other Offices, and
possibly Mr.. Morss, though not an
Office seeker, might be induced to
lead forlorn hope in some posi-
ton on the ticket-as it would be
the farthest removed from Office
seeking-as the people would repu-
date it almost UNANIMOUSLY. But
60 on with your cart driving.
Democrats will stand and see where
you are trying to drive them, with.
out making any effort to control,
and then let their votes drop in the
ballot box silently but surely, al
each individual may determine fol
