Democratic Sentinel, Volume 1, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 December 1877 — Belknap is practicing law. [ARTICLE]

Belknap is practicing law.

The Delphi Times is now all “home print.” Enterprise. Kellogg, carpet-bagger, of Louisiana, and Buttler, democrat, of South Carolina, took seat* in the U. S. Senate the other day. Committee on Privileges and Elections reported favorubly on the claim of Eustis, democrat, of Louisiana, to a seat in the Senate. In Columbus. Indiana, on the 2d, the editor of the daily Republican, Isaac M. Brown, and the mayor, Geo. W. Cooper, indulged in a street fightThe trouble grew out of articles in the Republican reflecting upo i the integrity of the city oflici s. No one hurt. It Is evident from Hayes’ Message, which appears on the first page of today's Sentinel, that should Congress agree upou a bill for the remonetiza" tion of silver. and alsotepeal the date clause for resumption, he will interpose his veto. In the interest of the money power he would do this wicked tning.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says: “A private letter from General Mans m to a gentleman in this city says a meeting of the democratic state ecn- • ral committee will be held in Indianepolis on the 20th instant. This is a move in the right direction, and will doubtless result in a call for an early state convention. The opinion generally prevails among democrats thr >’- out the state that the sta e convention should be held late in February nr early in March. Should this be the docission of the committee the convention will be one of the largest ever held in the state, and then, with good candidates and a platform declaring the right policy, victory will be a.-sur ml. The outlook is cheering, and -.he democracy was never more confident of victory.” This is all correct. While u long canvass is not at all desirable, there are equally strong objections against a short one. The democracy should not permit the radicals to effect a complete organization throughout the entire state before they commence preparations. The convention should bo held the latter part of February or early in March, and at Indianapolis.
