CHICAGO.
CulcAGo, January 2o.--The morning
| papers all have something TO say on To,
| nomination Of Nj. Waite fo- chief jus
tice. Tho Tutor Ocean speaks of him a
of modest and retiring disposition, with
rather conservative tendencies, but a clos
student, ripe scholar and model lawyer,
ard looks FOR his confirmation without OPP
| position.
The.Trbuat' says: "All that is said o
Morrison 4. Waite, the presidents third
nomination for Chief Justice, j. SO far tC
his credit. lie comes Of illustrious judi
cial parents, his father having been Chiei
| Justice of Connecticut, and ono OF the
| most eminent iGriits Of New England
He is graduate of Yale, and is frty-cigh
years of age. His sssiduous devotion Il
tho practice Of law has prcvcnei him from
achieYinga chcnp popularity. but placed
| him YEAR ego ut The head or tho bar of
| respectful attention in the las. two wears
| for his services ut Geneva, es counsel tor
the [ ni,ed States, and al Columbus, Ohio
as precedent of the constitutional conven.
ton, over which ho, was president wher
J he and the country were surprised by hi
nomination" The Times donounces thu
nomination in severe terms, and says
Verify the shades Of Jay and Marshall
md fancy and ChaIe may rise TO protes,
against proclamation of their veneratoC
seat by man so utterly incapable Of fill
ing it scceptably.'
