Holman Of Indiana.

New York Sun: Ii the Democrats should
take their Presidential candidate from In-
diana, William S. Holman seems to be
their best man.
The lessons Of experience teach that il is
not wise for the Democrats TO select their
nominees for President or Vice President from
states that hold general elections in October
OF the Presidential years. 1t requires more
effort 10 carry them in October, and retain
them in November, than they are worth.
If lost in October, as Indiana was in 1880
when English was en- the ticket for Vice
President, it is impossible 10 recover from
the blow in season for the greater struggle in
the following month.
But Indiana has ceased TO be an October
State. Then why not take Holman as ths
Presidential candidate? He has Just entered
on his tenth term in Congress. He belongs to
that clsss of rigid economists who save mil,
lions of money 10 the Treasury by sleeples'
vigilance and incorrupuble patriotism. Such
man is needed in the White House.

4. A. Hill, Of the Federal Court at Oxford,
snd the Rev. Z. D. Miller, our county super
Intendent OF education, ,ialso delivered excel
lent sddresses. A number of important sub.
jects were debated during the week. Among
these was the question ss 10 whether it was
desirable to abridge the curriculum of the
pubic schools in this State, and Friday
night was appointed for its discussion. The
Rev. E. d. Miller, DIR. ]. w. Gray and
others spoke in opposition 10 its abridgment,
and Judge John w. C. Watson replied 10
their arguments. and made a strong speech
in favor Of teaching the elements only. The
Institute was attended both by teachers from

AN INTERFERING TRIAL,

Our courtroom was yestec cday the scene Of
trial which excited more interest through
cut the community than is usually exhib-
tied, especially in a chancery suit. The
struggle was over the possession of Lillian
Mcdowell, little girl twelve years Of age,
the daughter of Mr.. Edward Mcdowell.
Mrs. Kate Mcdowell, the child's mother,
having recently died, left her, by will, in the
care and under the guardianship of Miss
Martha Bonner, the mothers sister and the
child's aunt. The father and the aunt are
each anxious to obtain possession OF the
child, and the question before the chancellor
il TO whom the guardianship shall be given.
The trial lasted all day, and upon the close
OF the argument last night the chancellor
took the case under sdvisement, thus leaving
the parties, a large number of interested
| auditors, and the public at large, in suspense
| as to the disposition of the child.

THE BALANCE OF POWER.

SOME REASONS WHY IT I9 THOUGHT THE
NEGROES ARE DRIFTING TO DEMOCRACY.
Washington special: Prof r. |. Greener
who was reported in recent interview as
commenting sarcastically on the late Demo-
cratic Convention at Lyuchburg, Va, says
his remarks were intended in a more serious
veir. He believes there is ample chance for
the Democratic party, nstional ard State,
by changing its policy, or, as some say, by
g0irg back TO the early principles OF the
party TO make iurosd5 into the hi herto close
column Of The black contingent OF the r.
publican party. The professor thinks the
coiorsd voter is very restiYe and inclined to
kick. He Instances the threats i'll the call
for Mr.. D0Uglass's Convention, the mutt ter
iogs of the late nsgro Fress Convention at
81. Louis, the recent meeting and resolu-
tIons of the c)lored Republicans of
S5uth Carolina. When askei if he would
attend the Colorsd Convention at Louisville
he said he would be there as a looker-or, if
one was held, but the representative colored
rnsn Of the county were not in favor Of The
| Convention; ii ed were quite sick Of CON-
venions. He thought the scIion Of the VIr-
ginis Democrats wac sensible and proper and
would go far toward intensifying the sue.
Such action ten years ago would have given
the control of the State to the Democratic
paTty.
"Bu. you know" said the professor wi h a
| laugh, Good hardened Phsraoh's heart until
the time came to let Hi.peope GO. The ne
