senator Thompson's Denial.

Editor Brookhdren Ledger
My attention has been called TO an ar
iicle in the Mag, Ola Herald in which It
is stated that j, is currently reported in
Jackson that | said that I "did not know of
any LAWYER in South Missirsipp. whom
could recommend to Ell a position on the
Supreme Bench of the S,ate.n | first heard
Of this article through a letter from a
friend in Pike county, and ut once, before
seeing the Herald, wrote To its editor and
asked that M, communication might be
made public. | wrote 10 him, and now
say emphatically, did now ray anything
Of the kind; the charge is ahtrue. II there
is such a report current at Jackson or
il |. fslse.
After the Senate failed TO confirm Judge
Simrall, there az an informal meeting Of
The members OF the Legislature from the
Southern District for consultation on
the subject Of recommending an appoint
ment. There was much difference OF
opinion n parent among tlose present a.
to who should he recommended.
I spoke on the occasion, and said that
there vas strong reason to believe that
Governor Stone had made up his mind to
appoint General George, that if his APP
poi ntment came before the Senate ii
would certainly he confirmed; that we had
men in cur District eminently qualified
for the position, but none more 20 than
Gen. Gesrge; ihat We were divided among
ourselves es to whom We should recon-
mend; that | was of opinion that no man
in the State would give more general sat
isfaction il appointed than Gen. George
that no appointment wonldbe more gen.
orally satisfactory, even in the Disttict;-
that in my Judgment the constitution did
not require the Judges to be one froo' each
district; that il such were the conststntion-
al requirement the contrary idea had been
acted upon; that the appointment about TO
be made was in fact for the first district,
and not for ours, the second, and | propos-
ed the adoption Of a resolution 10 the ef-
feet that General Georges appointment
would meet with our approval.
Nearly all Of these present seemed to
take the same view.
After some further expression of opin-
ions the meeting c,me to a close without
making any recommendation; thus at least
actually scquiescins in what every one
believed would be dOne the app" intment
of General George.
Yours truly,
X. III. THOMPSON.
