Speclal 10 the Indianapolis Journal
SHELBYVILLE Ind, Aug. 20.-The
Democrats of the Fourth congressional dis
trict will hold their convention i'm this city
Aug. -. Everything at present indicates
shat il will be one of the warmest con-
ventions os the kind ever held. William
Steele Holman has represented the dis
trict for thirty years and desires to go
back again, but an opposition sentiment
IS usual is being stirred up against him.
Those who would li,,e to turn down the
Old nan declare he has been there long
enough. and that they will not vote for
him if nominated. The opposition has gone
so far as to perfect an organization in the
district. which, 1t is claimed. numbers 1000
Democrats. They have issued a circular
from the Headquarters Anti-Holman
Democratic Committee, Lawrenceburg -
which gives forty-elght reasons why he
should not be renominated. Just what
their strength actually is and who is at
the head of il is not known, but they have
distributed 5000 of these circulars over the
district. HomPn and his friends have had
several contests with the same elements
who are row against him and have had
little trouble TO come off victorious. The
the same. Rush county will have candi-
date and a strong effort is being made to
get a prominent Shelby county politician
TO enter the lists. but he has not yet made
up his mind TO do so.
The joint Representative convention be-
place In the morning of the same day
shelby county will present the name of
WIZ II. IsleY and he will probably be the
nominee of the convention.

Curious Question of Ethics.

'
There is a curious question of ethics in
the Senate A certain number of gentle
men entered into combine to protect the
interests OF each other in the tarl1 bill
1t was case of tickle me and | will tickle
you. and the bill was finally passed as they
wanted. Now some of the gentlemen hold
that the contract has expired and they are
released from their obligation TO offend
and protect the industries or interests of
each other -hev agreed TO pass the bill
but did not agree to keep it passed, and the
combine has expired by limitation. BY
their votes they assisted TO place a neavy
duty on sugar, coal and iron ore but they
did not pledge themselves to maintain those
duties for a month a day hour,
and they think they are at liberty to vote
now, even before the bill has becOme a law,
to place these articles the free list.
There is going to be a lively time in the
Senate yet, and some throat-cutting, in
case the combine dissolvts.
