Charges in the Payne Case.
WASHINGTON. June 10 Representa-
tive Holman, of Indiana, in an interview
to-day, said that the convention that re-
nominated him on Wednesday was the
largest and most harmonious he had
seen. The temper of the Democrats was
such as TO surprise HIM under the cir
cumstances. He was not home last sum
mer, being on the Indian commission,
and had not been among his people to
judge of their temper. He could not tell
what effect disappointment over offices
might have had upon them, and having
voted for the civil service law he did not
know what their ceiling towards him
might be.
EVERYTHING SERENE.
The reports of disagreemeuts in other
districts hurried him home in a very un-
certain etate OF mind. He found the
party harmonious and enthusiastic, the
disapp0ntmeut over the offices having,
apparently, but little effect. They were
hopeful and in good spirits. The feeling
towards she administration, he saws, is
that OF perfect confidence. They believe
that Mr.. Cleveland is an honest, faithful
man. mo man within my memory eX-
cept Lincoln ana Grant has taken such
hold upon tho people as has Mr.. Cleve-
land. find he has had a steady growth
in their confidence.
THE OUTLOOK FOR 1883.
"With some slight adjustment OF the
civil service rules, which will give evi-
dence Of his loyalty TO the party. the
growth Of bis strength will be pbenom-

"This. If any Democrat is 0 be elected
it will be Mr.. Cleveland. II he continues
to give the people an honest and faithful
administration, winning the confidence
OF the poopia as he has, be viii again be
elected lTesident. If his administration
fails the party fails with it. X we do not
re-elect him we will not elect any one"
