THE Republican newspapers
dwell much upon the bad character
of Judge McLin, and think it in
valida.es his confession of COM
pllcity in the Florida electoral
frauds. McLin, however, was a
"good enough Morgan" to assist in
making President by fraud, and
he was thought good enough by
Hayes for the United States
Judgeship of New Mexico, al
though, to its praise be it said, the
Republican majority of the United

decency OF the nomina ton, refused
TO confirm him.

til the hour Of his death-2:40 p. NJ.
when he passed away suddenly
and peacefully, retaining his facul-
ties to the last. Mr.. Flood was
summoned to his friend and part
ner's bedside early this merning,
going over on the $40 boat. DR..
Hubbard was in attendance, and
Con O'Connor and the deceased's
relatives were also present. Col.
Fair, who has returned to the city
from Paso Roblss, had intended to
go over to day, but at the time of
Mr.. O'Brien's death was still here.
The time for the funeral has not
yet been fixed, but 1t is supposed
that Sunday will be designated.
Deceased had recently erected a
handsome mausoleum in the Cath
Ollie Calvary Cemetery, where his
remains will be deposited. At the
time when the division of the prop
erty of the firm was made, about q
year and half ago, the mining
stock business Of the firm was ex-
cepted, and that still remains in
common, under the management
of Mr.. Flood. The arrangements
between the members are such
that the death Of Mr.. O'Brien will
have no effect whatever on the
business affairs of the house, which
go on as usual without Interrupt

recently made will, but its con-
tents are yet unknown, though IL
