WASHINGTON. Sept. u.-Representa-
tive Holman Indianas great objector, is
placed in a very bad light by a revelea-ion
that was made TO your correspondent to-
day. The last day of the session but one
he asked unanimous consent for the pass
age of a bill appropriating $5.4H to pay
for some fatboats and barges alleged to
have been destroyed by the government
on the Ohio river at Vevay. Ind. at the
time of the Morgan raid Congressman
Marsh. of Illinois, objected to the passage
of the bill on the ground that the claim
should have gone to the Court of Claims
before going TO Congress- but Mr.. Holman
said: THE court would approve the claim,
but sending the case TO the court would
involve time and expense. and my clients
are too old and too poor to bear that"
Two claimants were named in the biIl-J
and o. p Cobb. o. p. Cobb has been dead
three or four years. Had the bill gone
through O. p. Cobb's heir would have
come in for half the money. That heir is
an only daughter, and her husband is w
S. Holman. jr., all of which goes to show
that blood is thicker than water. The ex-
watch dog has risked his reputation for
honesty as an objector.

Judge Longs Withdrawal.

PITTSBURG, Sept. n.-Judge Charles ID.
Long, of Michigan, who to-day withdrew
from the contest for cOmmander-in-chef
of the Grand Army. has written letter
which will be submitted to the meeting of
the delegates tomorrow, explaining his
reasons for Withdrawing. In the letter
Judge Long refers to the successful out
come of his pension contest i'm Washing
ton, one result of which was the receipt
of hundreds of letters urging him 10 be-
come a candidate for commander-in-chief.
He finds, however, that his candidacy has
been construed as bringing partisan politics
into the National Encampment and its sup
port as blow directed against the pres
ent administration. While this construc-
ton is not warranted, Judge Long is un-
willing to jeopardize the first claims of
for support, or to bring discord into the
G.. A X. Hence his withdrawal.
