Illero aro other considerations Of still
greater moment t!lat point to judge Cooley
rs uls.'nost obvious selection that can hc
lHndc Tor the vacancy that Will be oecas1oncd
by Justice SWnylie's retirement.
Only two other candidates besides Judge
Cooley have been 1lanlcd with any prospect
Of appointment. Ono Is Chancellor Cooper,
Of Tennessee, who probnbly stands lltt!o
chance OF appointment, ard tho other Is
Sta'lloy Matthews, Of Ohio. who ought to DO
excluded OIL personal grounds. 1t Is scarcely
worth wlItlo 10 mention the naine Of Senator
Thurman, who, tile Democrats claim, ought
10 be appointed to avoid tile impiitation OF
lnaking tia Supreme Ncncll partisan insti-
tuition. 1t Is sufficient to say III rcgard to
this, that Chief Executive elected by people
who believe iii the National theory Of Gov
ernn'eilt could not tlnd amy Justification for
appointing to the clIice Judiciary branch of
ttiu Government confirmed believer tit tho
doctrine Of Statc-sorcreignty, which has nj"
rcady causc1 tho country 80 much trouble.
Hence tho choice seems to l1o between Judge
Cooley aid Stanley Matthews. Tho latter,
without disparagemcnt in othcr respects,
mny falrly be Bnhl to bo iiuel, moro Of
