HOLMAN'S HL-LUCK.
The Great Objector Receives Kicking from

The Great ObjectOr Receives Kicking from
All Parts of the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 10-Judge Holman seems
to be out of his element in this House. He got
another severe kicking to-day for his promiscu-
Gus objection. The regular order in the House
was consideration of bills from Mr.. Stockslagers
ommittee making appropriations for public
buildings in different parts of the country Mr.
Holman was very oficious, objecting right and
left, and opposing every measure, until one pro-
viding for public building at New Albany was
reached. Then he said not word he was quite
silent The debate passed along until but three
minutes remained before taking the vote Mr.
Aiken, of South Carolina, set the ball rolling by
rising, turning to Mr. Holman and address
ing the Chair, saying he would like
to make a parliamentary inquiry: 81 believe
this is a bill providing for public building at
New Albany Indiana" said he ''now 1 would
like to know if the gentleman from that State
Mr.. Holmanl cannot find some objection to the
bill" There was great laughter in the House
for a few moments. Mr.. Holman did not en-
brace the opportunity, and Mr.. Money, of Mis-
sissippi, arose and demanded, in stern language
that the House hear the musical voice of that
chronic objector, who was so unrelenting in
finding fault with all other measures but one
benefting his own State"
At this moment Mr.. Holman attempted to re-
ply but the members hissed and Mr. Money
proceeded to fay him. This man.
said he turning to Holman, ''never
grows tired of objecting to bills
until it comes to his own State, until it reaches
his district or that of his friends; then he
sits here with his lips sealed. When the benefit
goes to his own State he never complains" Pro
ceeding, Mr.. Money denounced Mr.. Holmans
course as mean and hypocritical. He was loudly
applauded on both sides of the House, which
would not listen to Mr.. Holman in reply, and he
had to bear the odium. He was actually en-
barrassed.
Mr. Stockslager took advantage of the agita-
ton that prevailed nearly all the members of
the House having gathered about Mr.. Money
during his three minutes speech, demanding the
previous question, and the bill was passed
TheSe was considerable opposition, however.

that the delegates be selected by viva voce

the balloting commenced a motion
prevailed that one delegate be chosen from either
Hancock or Shelby county and one from Ma
rion. Robert Smith placed in nomination Gen
eral A. D. Streight Mr.. A. G. Harris nominated
John G. S. Harrison, and DR.. p HI. Jamison
nominated H. G. Adams. For the outside dele
gate, Mr.. N. B. Bergman nominated Hon. L. T.
Michener, of Shelby county, and J. W. Jones, of
Greenfield, nominated Benjamin Freeman. of
Hancock county The last two were first voted
for, but before the ballot had proceeded far it
was evident that Mr.. Michener would have a
elected by acclamation.
The first ballot for the Marion county delegate
resulted Adams SO, Harrison 49, Streight 8,

unanimous choice of the convention. On mo-

For member of the State Central committee

nominee and was unanimously elected, and the
convention adjourned.
Mr.. Scott Ray, of the Shelby Democrat, came
up to the delegate convention yesterday to get

to his paper. The enthusiasm and unanimitY
with which Mr.. Michener was elected rather
disappointed him. The latter gentleman Is a

a Daily Repetition of Conflicting Stories
Concerning the Old Mans Health.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON April 10.-The Tilden literature
OF the present day is something wonderful and
at the same time as prolific as the most thirsty
searcher at the fountain of information could
wish A good deal of it comes from New York.
but Washington takes the cake in the dissemina-
ton of all kinds of information about Gramercy
Park and its sage occupant To-day's groupings
out about Tiden furnish a very fair sample of
1t all. They, as usual do not agree very we'll,
but they point very decided moral Thus,
there has been received here from a prominent
Southern Democrat letter. This gentleman
says that the other day he had an hours con-
versation with Tilden This talk was, of course,
confidential" but Tden gave it to be distinctly
understood that he would not accept a
nomination under any circumstances. There is
also, to-day, a Democratic Senator who
had confidential talk with Tilden the other
day. He says: ''I assure you candidly that Til
den's health is as good as yours or mine He has
never suffered any general attack of paralysis.
His left arm is partially paralyzed and some or
gans of the throat also the latter affects his
voice, but Tilden's general health is good. L
believe Tilden will be nominated and that at
the proper time he will assent to his nomination
Tomorrow developments will be the same 1t
would SEEM from all these confidential" talks
that politicians claim to have with Tilden, that
one day he is paralyzed and will not accept, and
the next he is robust and eager for the Demo
cratic nomination, or both on the same day.

WAsHNGToN, April l0.-The Democratic
members of the House very severe in their
criticisms upon the course that most of the Ken
lucky members have evidently adopted as their
plan of action. The latter are very sore about
the defeat of the whisky BILL ard seem to be de-
termined to get revenge in opposing measures
which will benefit other States and sections
Their opposition to the erection of public build
ngs in different parts of the country is generally
understood to be typical of their general pro-
gramme They cannot effect any material re-
suits, but can delay legislation by flibustering
on a small scale Mr.. Blackburn said, in con
versaton, that he intended, when the Morrison
bill was taken up, to see that the amendments
thereto, agreed upon by the caucus, reducing the
tax on tobacco and fruit brandies, was defeated.
Such action and such talk is not relished by
other Democrats.
