The New York Sun has a kind word for Representativ * Holman, of this State. It says: Although a man of uncommon ability and persoNal fore*, Holman has never been a very prominent flgutv in Indiana politics, and yet he has served as Representative in Congress during eighteen yeais, a >d has become famous thers as one of the most persistent aud aggressiue antagonists with whom the extravagance and corruption of the body have been obliged to deal. By his unremitting opposition tajousof all kinds he has become known as the “Great Objector," aud that .title sticks t« him as closely as Pi s -iron does to Hon. Wil. liam D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Holman’s presence iu the House es Representatives has probably been the means of saving millions ot dollars te be people of the United States, and we should be very sorry to miss him from Congress. He possesses ex.raordinary merit as a candidate, either for Governor or any any other office. He would make a groat Governor and a Jacksonian President.
