should take Mr.. William whitney for District At
torney. He then passed eulogfum upon the gen.
tleman, and said that though young man he had
an excellent record As for the City Judge, he said
that Apollo Hall had deferred to the Seventy In the
selection Of Judge Sutherland. The sentiment Of
the committee was strongly against Mr.. Whitney.
