W. X. BolioWay's Income. &c.

Ne dsliks u parade psssaaAI mAtters, or - enter
into personal explanations before readers; but
for the past years the personal organ Geo w.
Julian IN this city. has been basily engaged IN at
Temps injare the character OF all persons who did
not worship a. the shrine of ti.e itanacuiste Nv.
During the past years, its editor has frequently
INDUCED in insinuations against friend W. X.
HOLLOWAY, and in his issue Of two weeks ago. he
again repeats them with the variations. He says that
Col. Holloway left here few years since in compare
lively moderate eircumsta and last year paid
an income Of 81, 600 This, pronounce 10 be
deliberate aiseaood and manufactured Of the
whole cloth by Mr julian Col H. $ income, as
ported by the Indianapolis papers, $4,000
which should be added The exemption $500. making
$4,000, in all, and 4eee stated BY the
lily organ of our distinguished M c.
As to hoe cur young friend made his money and
it seems to be made matter of public concernment,
ata Jufto we have objections giving few facts
bearing on his case that have knowledge.
In January 1901 he was appointed private secretary
TO Gov. Morton, in which capacity he served up to
May, 1864, when he resigned, having been offered a
larger salary in the city New York. In JULY 1884
the leading members of the Union party Iadianapo
lis, having become dissatisfied with the manner in
which the leading organ Of the party the Daily Journ
all was conducted, decided that a change in its man
agement had become necessary and they selected Col
Holloway become the purcha of that establish
ment Negotiations entered into for the purchase
of the Office and in August of that year the office pas
sed into the hands aud under the control Of Col H
the purchase money having been generously loaned
him By two wealthy personal friends in the city q New
York both of whom had formerly resided ia this State
and one of them, for years, IN this city Under
the manag cement Of Col. H.-who is aeknow lodged to
he al the erarya4I, e,unatan.
Newspaper il the West the Journal became a
live paper and took the front rank among the leading
D4iiies Of the North West. Its business
doubled, and'he calculation of the paper during the
time 1t under lis control, was more than double
that Of any paper ever published in this State. Its
Advertising patronage was increased until he
twice compelled to enlarge tile paper Ia December
Of last year, Col. Holloway having liberal offer for
his iAe,e est 10 the Journal establishment, DECIDED
dis Of t, which he Ill fare haa double
ss or.3,aai eost eighteen months previous. No
who has any personal knowledge OF til, Journal Office
for the past three years, doubt for single
ment that Col H. BY his money honestly L is not
To be xpeeteha any member of the Julian family,
who entirely destitute OF bnsines qualifications
could appreciate the business of establish
ment such the Indianapolis Daily journal be-
came under the energetic management of Col. lio-
ioway.
We ask pardon OF Col II. for the liberty have
ken in thus parading bis private affairs before the pub
lic but he grew up under eye in the old PaIla
dunn office we naturally feel interest in his re-
putaton and success 10 life.
We should have stated above that the income
Col. Holloway included only the profits arising
from the business of the Office during the year pre-
vous but that arising from the sale of his interest in
the Journal office.
We take the liberty of suggesting to the editor of
the Family organ" more legitimate matter of public
than the income of w. X. Holloway,
and that is; the amount of $4,000 that his dis
tinguished brother George, voted into his pocket
at the late session of Congress. Persuade him. if he
has got one spark of honor honesty left in is boz
som, to return that money to the Treasurer of the
United States from whence it flched- bv
as the ew York Tribune truthfully characterizes it,
"a very unwise selfish cowardly unprincipled act"
He do more real good in trying to induce his broth
refund this illgotten money than he possibly
do in attending the private affairs of private ind
vdua by hunting up and publishing the amount of his
income tax and then doubling it, and nsinuating that
his money was obtained in anything else than le-
Ultimate and honest way. Try this suggestion,
your brother, and induce him honest for once,
Isaac?
