NUTS FOR THE NEWS TO CRACK.
To you, John H. Holiday, publisher OF
the News, few words are due. On the
eve of the Democratic Convention (when
all towards ply their work as political
trsdesmen) you opened your columns to
the vile malice OF Bert Hibben, aud dis

notice, Just before the convention organ

in your work, but you failed. The bench
was renominated. Time ran and the

Court rises to explain about the services
rendered by his son and daughter, but he
does not say anything about the hair mat

Terre Haute Journal insists that the su-

good Judgment. Itthey don't that part OF

afford to keep judiciary on whose ermine

is neither honest nor ssgacious, politically"
