MR.BYNUM WANTS REVENGE
Setting Up the Pins to "Down" Holman
for His Partin the Speakership Fight
Jewett Says He Is Not Candidate for Tur-
pies Seat-0ther Politicians in Town
Taggart After the State Chsirmanship.

Hon. William Dynamite Bynum was not
idle when he was spending his holidays in
this city. He came home ranking in
heart, with grass-burning feeling. and
with Hon. William S. Holman, a brother
Congressman, IN the midst of an magma
tive fiery meadow. Holman, every body
knows. divided the Indiana Democratic
delegation In the lower house for Crisp
against Mills with an alscrity and decision
which showed that had Bynum
been seriously considered for Speaker.
Holman would have prevented his
having the solid Indiana delegation.
Bynum was for Bynum. but having with
drawn. he was for Mills as a free-trader.
Since Mills was defeated Bynum has given
il out that Holman must be defeated. The
man selected for the herculean task before
the convention is b. s. Sutton, of elby-
vile. He had once entertained the idea OF
combating with Holman for the nomin a
ton. bat when he surveyed the field he
concluded it was impossible and gave it up.
The speakership fight interviewed, and he
has listened TO the seductive whispe rim gs
of the Indianapolis member. This able
politician sent for him during the b. Holidays.
Congress. 1t would cost him 1000. Bynum
said, but that is of no consequence. The
point is to down Holman for his part In the
speakership fight. AS Sutton is superin-
tendent of a railroad he Ia supposed To have
money to throw away, and. much against
the advice of his friends, it Is said he will
stand for the nomination..

Tappart Is in the Field.

County Auditor Thomas Taggart. who
has been spoken Of in connection with the
chairmanship of the State Democratic
committee. was asked yesterday if he
would accept.
II have not given the matter much con-
sideration yet" he replied. "A number of
my friends have urged me to make an
effort to secure the chairmanship, and
highly appreciate the compliment. l don't
know whether | would accept or not" and
at the same time there was O far-away look
in Mr.. Taggarts eyes that meant:
"Yes. you betl" He was thinking
of the glories OF the position and the OPP
portunities it would offer him to further
his political ambition. Mr.. Taggart is of
the opinion that Congressman Bynum will
be nominated for Governor. which is right
in line with his own race for the commit
tee chairmanship.
'You can say,O continued Mr.. Taggart.
that l will not make q personal fight for
the place. / can't say what will do if my
friends are successful"

Democratic Lights Gathering.

Charles l.. Jewett. of New Albany. the
chairman of the Democratic State COM
mittee. was in the city yesterday. lust to
get out of the cold" SO he said, but he
winked the other eye when he said it. The
fact that 81 Sheerin, of Logansport,
and John b. Stoll. of South Bend,
both prominent State Democrats,
should be in the city the same
day, as Chairman Jewett cid seem q little
suspicious. But the latter assured the re-
porter that there was no cause for alar IN,
and that lit was merely the cold wealth er
that had driven them understanding
else"
A few leading questions were put to
Chairman Jewett, all of which he parried
and tierced with the skill and adroitness of
q practIsed foilsmsn.
Are you a candidate for reelection a.
chairman of the State committeep
Nobody is a candidate. The committee
will meet and do its duty, and the fittest
man will get the place. Democrats never
make an error, mark We that"
How about your eyes being cast senate

Again. What do you know of Mr. Myers's
withdrawal from the gubernatOrial racei"
"No! You don't mean to tell me he has
withdrawn Sho; that leaves one less in
the race and lessons the interest"

get to Indianapolis once In while I'd be
totally lost in Indiana politics. But there's
the porter calling my train, and / must

that needs nv attention"
These few facts are given for what they
are worth, ana they ought to be official,
coming. as they do, from such q reliable
source.
The original date for the meeting of the
State committee was Jan. 20. but it will
be called together earlier, some time next
week.

Grip Among the Pennsylvania Trainmen.
Indications are that January will be one
of the most expensive months the Pennsyl-
wanna Voluntary Relief Association has yet
experienced. On the Indianapolis division
there are ,494 employees; of this number
752, mostly trainmen. are members of the
benefit association, drawing benefits when
Ill, injured. or their heirs in case of death.
Yesterday there were eighty-eight down
with grip. and the most serious feature is
that so per cent of the number are train
men. DIR. Talbot, medical examiner for
this point is one of the busiest men in the
city. On the Louisville division there are
963 employees, 4S2 of whom belong TO the
association, and some thirty are i'll with
grip. On the Indianapolis x VIncennes
road there are $50 employees. 80 of whom
are members of the relief association. and
quite q number are of duty because OF grip.
Big Consolidation Projected.
railroad official who is well up In pro-
jected railroad schemes states that big
deal is under contemplation which, if car
ried out as proposed. will result in a con-
solidation of the Louisville, New Albany u
Chicago. the Kentucky x Indiana Bridge,
the Louisville Southern and the East Ten
nessee, Virginia q Georgia roads. all to
form a great north and-south line between
Chicago and the southeastern seaboard. 1t
is said this was really the reason that the
deal which would have brought the Ken
tucky & Indiana bridge under control of
ID. j. Mackey was dropped. The same par
ties hold practically the control of the roads
named in the foregoing statement, the
bridge excepted, and the rumor has really

picture in the abbey was O gem, ind
the gardens were unrivaled by any
in England; but the owner was a re-

rounded by a formidable wall seven
miles in circuit, twelve feet high and
crowned by chevaux. de- -frise, and the
gates were kept carefully closed.

solemn, powdered footmen putting
out the lights. Mr.. Beclrford has
gone to bed, " said the man.
The guest rose and followed the
footman TO the front door. That
functionary opened it wide and said !:
Mr.. Beckford ordered me TO present
his compliments To you, sir, and
