Removal !
The Sentinel Office has been moved into rooms one door east of Makeever’s New Hotel, where we will be pleased to greet our friends in futnre. An enhance well says let the Democratic platform contain this plank “ \ tariff not for the interest of a section, but for i he welfare of the whole Republic.” ' Read speech of Senator Voorhees, on first page, in response to the re commendations of radical Secretaries to cease the coinago and retire the circulation of silver. It is said ex Secretary Sherman was an intent listener to the arraignment of himself and others.
The Philadelphia Times, in commenting upon Black Jack Logan s proposition to pension Grant, remarks that “General Grant deliberately chose to appeal to a conclave of Uc tion rather than to the country, an his disappointments were tempered l>y generous gifts, making him pecuniarily independent for all time to come. His ungentlemanly and un. soldierly defamation of General Hans cock placed him beyond the pale o ' respect in the Armv and beyond the pale of respect in the intelligent cii olos of all parties; and the whole country deplored the humiliation General Grant inflicted upon himself and thereby immeasurably upon the Nation. The truth demands the state ment that the passage of general Logan’s bill, restoring General Grant nominally to the Armv to be pension ed for life, would find few approt ing voices among the people. ’ And the Indianapolis Sentinel responds that “If Logah’s proposition will remove Grant from the list of medicants who are forever crying. Give! give! it may be well enough to make Grant a pen sioner for life ”
