Indianapolitan

The Indianapolitan public accordingly abstains in considerable numbers from paying its fares, being moved by sympathy with labor...

The Indianapolitans seem to be very civil and orderly people, a pattern of sobriety and good behavior, if we can infer anything on these points from the smallness of their police force, for this body, considered indispensable in most cities for the preservation of order, in this city numbers only eight, including a chief.

If the Indianapolitans could declare and enforce an effective embargo upon all outsiders, it is evident that Indianapolis would languish and die.

The earliest sculpture by an Indianapolitan was the statue of Benjamin Franklin by John Mahoney, erected in 1874 above the front doorway of the Franklin Insurance Company building in the southeast segment of the Circle.
