"a man who has been before the people of
district as long as l have should not be stand
ing candidate"
'Oh of course you will not be a candidate for
Congress if you are nominated for the governor
ship" remarked.
'It would not be likely" evasively; ''but
consider that there are other men more likely
to be the nominee for Governor. Colonel Gray,
for instance, and half dozen other men could
mention want the nomination"
"If you were nominated, would you rather
have Major Calkins or Colonel Dudley against
you on the Republican ticketl"
II think Calkins the strongest man the Re
publicans could nominate His record in
Congress on the leading issues is as
good as that of any Republican. Then he has of
late made many moves in behalf of the soldiers
and Others of influence"
But Colonel Dudley is popular among the
soldiers and the masses; then he is an organizer"
''Yes, replied Judge Holman, ''he organized
too well in $780, He can't explain away his con-
nection with Dorsey and Brady and the others
who distributed the money"
1t is very safe to put Judge Holman down as a
candidate for reelection, unless he is nominated
for the governorshp, which, it is thought by near
ly every one of the delegates, will be the case.
FIFTH DISTRICT.
II am not prepared to say anything at this
time about my probable political future, OBJ
served Col G. c. Matson, "for 1 do not know
what turn affairs may take"
DO you think it improbable that you will be
candidate9"
Il do believe there are some of my friends
who have stood by me in my campaigns who
want the race, and if so will not antagonize
those who have helped me-
Would you accept if nominated"
YES would. AT present am simply not
candidate, in the common term of being candi-
date. My friends will decide whether or not
shall be returned here, however"
SIXTH DISTRICT
II guess it is generally known in the Sixth
district that l am candidate for renomina-
tion," General Browne remarked when l asked
him what he intended doing in the coming cam
paign.
who will be your opponent" queried l.
Il have heard of no one yet" the General re-
Piled
1t is understood here, however, that I. Ben
Morris, of Wayne county, wants to be al
candidate if he can get any en-
eouragement No one seems to doubt but that
General Browne will be rendered the race by ac-
clamation. He is indorsed by almost the entire
press of his district, and has received letters
from the major portion of the leading Repub-
lieans of the district, assuring him of their sup
port.
SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Stanton j. Peelle is in the hands of his friends
lie is not seeking a denomination. II II were
rendered to him cheerfully by the Republicans
of the Seventh district I presume he would ac-
cept it, but he has not indicated what his wishes
are or what he expects. He is serving his sec
ond term, and is one of the most energetic, eff
fective, popular and accommodating representa-
tives in the House. He is a man of influence
on the floor of the House, in committees, and in
the departments.
An intimate frien of Will English said day:
English expects the denomination by the Dem
ocrats in the district He is pushing his contest
against Peelle for that purpose He thinks if he
is successful in his contest that he will secure
the race beyond any doubt and with ease.
think he will be renomnated He is laying the
piping deep for it, and if he can crowd Peelle out
of his seat it may do him turn in getting the
race.
EIGHTH DISTRICT.
Terre Haute, representing the Eighth district
''Don't you know whe ther or not you will be a
candidate2" pursuing him.
81 don't care to talk about what may or may
not do in politics, was the only reply
1t is the gossip here among the Indianians that
Mr.. Lamb expects the denomination, and that he
fears gentleman at Charlottesville will be
pitted against him, and who will make success
full campaign.
NINTH DISTRICT
Said Thomas B. Ward, of Lafayette IT have
given the matter of a second term less thought
than you have any idea of 1 am not trying to
get it, and cannot say what will do"
''Who do you think will be the Republican
nomnee2"
II cannot say" replied he, land I would not
like to speculate upon him. 1 have heard no
names mentioned particularly"
In point of transparent fact, Mr. Ward expects
to be renominated, and his colleagues are of the
opinion that the race will be rendered to him
without much effort although there are three or
four men in the district-a couple at Frankfort
who will ask for the nomination. probably.
AS to who will be the Republican nominee in
the Ninth district, have found every one here
who has mentioned name to be of the same
opinion. 1t will be Major Doxey of Anderson,
who defeated Ward for the unexpired term of
Ortiz. 1t is thought here that to Doxey the race
belongs, since he made such good campaign ~
year ago.
