Description | The Indianapolis Sentinel, born as the Indiana State Sentinel in 1841 by the Chapman brothers, became a leading Democratic voice in Indiana. It transitioned from weekly to daily editions, facing ownership changes and financial struggles. During the Civil War, it criticized the Republican government, leading to the arrest of its editor, Joseph J. Bingham. Ownership changes continued until Samuel E. Morss revitalized it in 1888, advocating for clean politics and civil service reform. Despite facing competition and financial challenges, circulation surged under Morss's leadership. After his death in 1903, the paper changed hands again, adopting a sensationalist tone before ceasing publication in 1906. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1885 of this newspaper. |
