Bell of Union City, who was here today, “and that is by a pool of the opposing candidates and the adoption of a plan which would allow each candidate to select the delegates in his own county. In this way antiCromer delegates might be chosen who, at the opportune time, could be be voted for whichever anti Cremer candidate might show up the strongest in the convention. Knowing Cromer’s strength in a good many of the counties I doubt whether such a plan could be successfully worked.” —Louis Ludlow.

HOLTZMAN IN A NEW POLITICAL LIGHT

imtanapolls, Oct. 16. —Will Mayor John W. Holtzman become the Democratic candidate for governor next year? The question is not out of place at this time, as he is being suggested by many Democratic leaders for head of the ticket. He is receiving letters and telegrams of congratulation from throughout the state, and in many of them there is a suggestion that he should become the party candidate for governor. Holtzman seems to have sprung into party leadership almost in ' a day. Before the election he was held in the same esteem that comes to the average party leader here, but now he is booked as a big firure in state politics. Os course he has his mark to make. The mere fact that he has been nominated for mayor will not place the nomination for governor within his grasp, yet it is within his reach, many believe, if he lives up to hie campaign promicon and the parlj platform. Holtzman is certainly a good campaigner and a good politician and It would not be surprising if he should blossom out as a leader in state politics. The Calumet canal, which occupied •o much attention in the legislatures of Indiana, is Anally to be built by private capita! The work will begin Oct. 24, when Governor Durbin will press an electric button to start the machinery. The starting of the work will be a big event, at which the governor. Congressman Ctumpacker and many other prominent Indicnians will be present. There will be speechmaking and a celebration worthy of tho starting of the great enterprise. The canal is to extend from Indiana Harbor. a new manufacturing center near Whiting, to Hammend and Best Chi cage. It will cost several mlllior dollars. but It will probably mean that some day in the near future the greatest manufacturing center in Indiana ■will be located on the lake in Lake county. The efforts made In the legIslat'ire to obtain the passage of a bill' authorizing the construe!ion of tho canal were defeated, but the men liehind the guns were not the kind of ( men to accept defeat quietly, so they have arranged to bull 1 the eaual without the aid of the state.

Evidently there was no demand for an independent Democratic candidate in the city election here Tuesday. Dr. James Carter thought there was and he had his name put on the ballots by petition. Yet when the result was published it was shown that he had received but eight votes out of a total of over 45.000. So much for his opinion that an Independent Democratic candidate was necessary. Several ' years ago there was a candidate nam;ed Daubenspeck for Justice of the peace, uud he received but one vote. There has always been a mystery. In Jest, as to who voted for Daubenspeck. No one was ever able to solve it. In the Tenth precinct of the Fourth ward, where Carter resides, but one vote was cast for him. Did he cast it himself? | is the question that promises to equal the mystery of who voted for Daubenspeck. Laying aside partisan opinion, tt may he stated that it is a little bit surprising that Carter, as a free silver candidate, did not receive more than eight votes, when it is known that there are lots of free silver men in the city. Governor Durbin has received a letter from Governor Beckham of Kentucky regarding the unfortunate Incident at Howard station, where the governor and members of his staff were left standing on the platform tn the rain while Governor Beckham’s special train was pulling out toward Louisville. The public, or at least a . largo part of it. Jumped to the conclusion that Governor Beckham was trying to get even because Governor Durbin refused to honor a requisition for ’ former Governor Taylor and former : Secretary of State Finley, but Governor Durbin has Just received a letter from Governor Beckham in which the latter disclaims any Intention of leaving him »n purpose. Governor Beckham says he sent a member of his party out to look ior Governor Durbin and his party, but as none of them were in sight, he supposed they were not coming to take the train. Governor Beckham had nothing to do with the starting of the train, and Governor Durbin does not hold him responsible.

A DEAD BEAT. Traveling Man Jumped Board Bill, Arrested at Berne, But Released.-Also Owed a Livery Account. — Michel Stew, a rather prosperous looking individual struck town a ■ day or two ago and registered at the Park Hotel. He seemed to lx 1 a traveling representative of some kind and no one suspicioned that he was a dead beat as was afterwards proven. During his stay in : the city he hired a rig at the Eli ■ Meyers livery stable where his bill is reported at *3.50 and unpaid. After boarding two days at the Park he left town last night with no explanation concerning his debts. The matter was reported to the marshal and the stranger was lo- j cated this morning at Berne and arrested. Marshal Cordon arranged to go after him but Mr. Meyers ' of the Park decided not to prosecute I the fellow as he probably had no money to pay with anyway and the Berne officers were telephoned to release him which they did.
