moving into it and putting a reliable man
into the Jail to run that
while he engaged in some other
business, and kept at the same time a gem

SHERIFF o'GoRMAN.
Judge O'Gorman, met by GLOBE rep
resentative late in the evening, received
his congratulations upon the decision with
his characteristic modesty. Asked what
he proposed to do, he replied that as soon
as the motion for a new trial was disposed
of, which will be in ten days, he
should make demand upon Mr.. Richter
for the Office and he thought that gentle
man would yield it up without further
dispute.
'But if he should not, and should appeal
to the supreme court" queried the re-
porter.
"Well, the court has declared me the
legally elected sheriff, and entitled to pos
session of the Office, and the
lawyers who have conducted my
contest inform me that under the
decision of the supreme court in the case
of Newell vs.. Newton-a contest for the
Office of sheriff in Dakota county, I am
entitled to immediate possession of the
Office, even if an appeal should be made or
not. But whether this opinion is correct
or not makes really little difference to me
personally. as before Mr.. Richter can take
an appeal he must give sufficient bonds to
guarantee me the emoluments of the office,
should the decision be sustained, from the
date of its being rendered. In other words,
in such an event Mr.. Richter would do the
work and l would get the pay, a proceed
ing l imagine he will hesitate to enter
upon. The fact that the two judges max
ing the decision are on opposite sides polit-
ically, and the further fact that both
are known to be extremely careful
to have the law and the facts with them in
making their decisions, not affording him
any very fattering inducements to enter
upon such an undertaking."

resentative.
sob, no." replied the judge. "Not that
I would not willingly give the news to the
GLOBE, but the fact is, don't know who
will fill those positions. I made no pledges
prior or during the election, and since the
declaration of the result by the canvassing
board my prospects for exercising the
office have been too uncertain to warrant
me in selecting my staff. But
the people having honored me by electing
me sheriff. shall endeavor to so manage
the Office as to justify their confidence in
the fullest, and in making the appoint
ments for deputy, etc., shall be governed
to securing efficiency and fidelity in each
position. Anything further 1 cannot say al
this time"
With this Judge O'Gorman excused him
self and the representative retired in as
good order as possible after his defeat in
his efforts to find out the names of the
minor officers under the new regime in the
sheriff's Office.
