Bob FItzslmmons was, this morning,
asked his opinion on the Mccoy
Creedon fight, last night, when Mccoy
won in ths fifteenth round. He said:
"McCoy is entitled to no sp 'cial credit
for having whipped Creedon. Creedon
has not been taking care of himself
lately, and was ready to be whipped.
Il Creedon had been in the condplon
he was when I defeated him In New

have been the victor. When IN con-

WILLIAM STEELE Holman

Yesterday occurred the death of that
most notable figure which has ever been
seen in the congressional halls Of the
United States, William Steele Holman.
Possessed of an indomiritable and
unhinching will when in the performance
of those duties which he considered as a
sacred trust to his country and fellow
citizens, he was withal capable of exhib-
iting those genial and obliging qualities,
which frequently robbed of its sting his
refusal to submit to measures he regard.
ed as detriment.l.
With keenness of perception that
was ever kept bright by his sense OF
duty, he closely watched attempts upon
the national treasury and by his sturdy
refusals to submit when in doubt of the
Justice or right of proposed approprl
alton, earned for himself the title of the
watch dog of the treasury" What could
be more noble title than one secured
by honest efforts in behalf of ones
country? How many men today, repre-
senting the sacred interests of this great
commonwealth, can conscientiously feel
that they have ever resisted those meas
ures which would result to the detriment
of the country when assured of personal
gain? Judge Holman's ability to say II
object" in the face of opposition carries
volumes of merit to discerning mind
I OEducated in a common school, begin.
ming as a school teacher and later practiC
ing law, he early en,ered the service OF
his country in public capacity. He was
elected 20 congress from Indiana in 1856
as a Democrat and continued ali almost
uninterrupted career in the lower house
up to the time of his death, having spent
| there sixteen terms.
Few Americans and indeed few men
carry or leave behind a cleaner or purer
record than that of the great objector.
