PERsoNAL-Edwin j. Davenport has
been appointed Clerk of the Municipal
Court Of Minneapolis, Mum. We take
the following from the St. Paul Pioneer :
"Wno Is DAvENroR1?"- Alderman Bassett
said at the Council meeting yesterday that he
never heard Of Edwin Davenport, Clork Of the
Minneapolis Court, and shouldn't know him if he
were to meet him on the street For the infor-
nation Of those who are interested in knowing.
we will say that he is n promising young man, n
native Of Middlebury, Vermont. Mr.. Davenport
came to this CITY in ISL. in December of that
year, entered D. W. Alhaughs Office, and the fol-
lowing spring was appointed Deputy Clerk Of the
Court, which position he has since filled to the
entire satisfaction Of himself and everybody else
especially attorneys having business to transact
with that Office He is also well verscd in the
law. and admitted to the bar some months
since, but for some unexplained reason Governor
Davis overlooked him in his recent appointment
81 Associate Judge Of the Supreme Court. And
he was the only one Of the fifty candidates who
did not personally apply the pumps and cork
screws to Judge Cooley. He is young man whc
has many friends and We venture to predict that
the list will increase, as he becomes better known
The position Of Clerk to the Municipal Court he
will find n laborious lie has our sympathy
and Sl5O0 per year.
We congratulate our Young friend upon
this promotion, and have no doubt he vii
