We will forego our determination but whilst
doing so. We ask pardon of our readers, for
having occasion to devote space to any sub

well plead the precedent established by a
NJ. C. who. during last session. has de-
voted all his energies, regardless of bis pub
lie duties. to assailing the private and pub
lie character of Mr.. Holloway.

only wonder that this part of the report had
not been suppressed in copying it into the
Republican. in order to serve more fully its
lying propensities.
The Julian family organ at Centerville,
loses no opportunity to vent its malignant
and slanderous attacks upon the Senior edi-
tor of this paper, and the present Commits
sioner of Patents at Washington. The
vindictive spirit of the controlling genius
of the organ referred to is too we'll known
! in the district to excite any comment. For
the past twenty years, he has been almost
constantly engaged in a brawl--always vii
flying and defamiug, by every means in his
power. some of our leading and prominent
citizens. and bis vindictive personal hatred
and jealousy toward Mr.. Holloway and his
family, has long been subject of remark.
1t is well known that he was forced to
leave Hancock county, by Tom. Walpole
and for several years visited Indianapolis
via. Anderson, fearing to pass throu gh Han.
cock county.
- Shortly after he came here, he fell out
with and commenced his abuse of the late |
Mr.. Rariden. whom he followed to his grave |
with base calumnies and detrsc,ion. He
next quarreled with Hon. C. B Smith. and
abused that gentleman persistently for a Pc
riod Of thirty years, until he wanted petty
/ position for his son in the Interior Depart
ment, and had the unblushing impudence to
apply to the Secretary for it, which place
his son still holds.
He next quarreled with and prosecuted an
unrelenting warfare against Hon. Samuel
w. Psrknr, during his public life.
The next object of his envy and malice
was Judge C. H. Test. and afterwards with
Judge Elliott. Judge Killgore, Messrs New
man and Siddall. and Judge Yaryan.
His opposition to Gov. Morton. common
ced from the date of his entry upon public
life. and is continued in public and private
up to this hour. Indeed, there has been no
public man in this Congressional District, |
for the past thirty years, who had any pro-
minence for Congress, with whom he has
not quarrelled and whose character he has |
not attempted to defame both publicly and /
privately. His opposition to Mr.. Holloway
dates back to 1916. in which year Mr.. II. |
defeated him for the nomination to the State !
Senate. His quarrel with Gen. Meredith is
even of An older date.
In 1856. he did everything in his power
to defeat Gov. Morton and the Republican
State Ticket. He called upon the people
Ito do everything "a their porer to orer-
