THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
Had Garfield lived there is little doubt
Chief Justice Horace Gray, Of Mass, would
have been named to oil the vacancy in the
Supreme Court, created by the death Of
Justice Clifford. Ex.Attorney General
Devcns had some pretensions to the
vacancy, and was strongly urged on Gar
field by Hayes. He was appointed Associ-
ute Justice OF the Supreme Court OF Niassa-
chusets by Governor Long, and will be
satisfied, Il is sai IL, by the appointment to
the Chief JustCeship Of the same court in
place OF Gray, should Arthur carry out the
arrangement made by his predecessor.
Judge Gray is described by Senator Dawes
as man OF large Inherited wealth and Of
the best blood Of Massachusetts. He studied
law from pure love Of the profession md
was appointed to the Supreme Bench Of
the Suite before lie was forty years old.
