Tho Bar ASSOCIATION OF Cn0 MIMI LIE
trict Recommend @. 8. Ives.
Gov. Hubbard returned yesterday noon
from his flying visit to Red Wing, reaching
the executive Office about 8 o'clock p. m.
Here he found several letters from residents of
the Ninth judicial district urging IA
vorable consideration of some one
of the parties whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
vacant judgeship. But the document that will
probably have the strongest bearing In
enabling him to reach decision In the matter
OF the appointment was telegram from
Tracy, giving the recommendation of the bar
meeting held there Wednesday, Of which the
following Is copy:
TRACY, Mimi, March 80 Il. T. Hubbard,
Governor: Bar meeting representing eighteen
attorneys unanimously recommend G. 8. Ives
point Democrat, NJ. S. Matthews will send
full proceedings by mail. Please do not ap-
point until received.
(Signed) DE-. WEYMOUTH.
The GLOBE reporter does not pretend
to be a mind reader, and will there
fore not undertake to say whether
this action Of the bar association was
| surprise to the governor or not. But the
reporter feels justified In asserting that it was
a surprise to the. gang. OF strikers for Laid
and Weber who have been most diligent in
their efforts, (aided by their dirty work organ,
the Pioneer Press,) to poison the mind OF the
| governor against the prospective action
Of the assertion by asserting that it was or.
ganized in the interest of Judge Cox, that il
was composed almost entirely of his friends
and that any recommendation 1t might make
would be OF his dictation or choice. The rec
ommen dalton Of the association re-
| s~cS,
phatically. G.. 3. Ives, their unanimous Sc.
lection, resides at st. Peter, and is a brother o.
Hon. Warren ]. Ives, of Hutchinson, Mcleod
county, one of the two lawyers upon tn
board of managers in the impeachment trial
from which association it may reasonably b
considered he would not be the choice OF Judg
Cox did he own and control the bar associa
ton of the district, as the Ladds and Weber
would have the governor think
This feature of the contro
doubleday be acknowledged by all except those
personally interested in another direction, a
most judic ious one. Mr.. Ives took no par
whatever in the impeachment proceedings
and could therefore enter upon tn
discharge of the duties of th
Office without q suspicion attach
ing to him Of prejudice against any at
tOrney growing out OF tnat unfortunate pro
ceeding, which could not but exist to
greater or less extent should either of tn
witnesses in that trial, for or against, NOR
especially Ladd, Weber or Wallins eacl
one Of whom acknowledged t
being candidates for the positio
when testimony against Judge Cox, be chosen
Then, too, he is just in the prime OF life, Q
fine natural ability, well read and Of stud
GUS turn of mind, excellent habits and unfair
nished integrity, all good qualities, and tn
GLOBE confidently expects, a Democrat beinI
out of the question, that Gov. Hubbard vii
exhibit that good common sense, OF which h
is not accused Of being deficient, by bestow
ing the appointment upon him, and leav
Laid, Webber, Wallin, ct al, to the tende
mercies of the people as expressed through
the ballot box.
