JUDGE GRESHAM.
Complimentary Tributes Over His Promotion
to the Circuit Judseship.

bogansBort Journal.
The favorable comment which the appoint
ment of Judge Gresham to the United States
Circuit Court, to succeed Judge Drummond, has
called forth indicates that this distinguished
lndianian is appreciated in other States than his
own Judge Gresham has already en-
tered upon his duties. The circuit
inois and Indiana Less than two years
ago Judge Gresham was called into President
Arthurs Cabinet. In the time that has inter
vened he had been Postmaster general, Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Circuit Judge. In this
short time his has been a remarkable career.
Called to the bench by General Grant, without
any solicitation his part, his ability and
sterling integrity afforded foundation upon
which to erect a magnificent superstructure
When he entered Mr.. Arthurs Cabinet he carried
with him the reputation of one of the purest
and ablest jurists in the land. AS Postmaster
general he organized and so systematized this
branch of the government service that when he
turned 1t over to accept more important trust
it was almost absolutely perfect in its workings
Although at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment but short time he exhibited in a most
problems of finance. Judge Gresham is once
more on the bench, a position for which
his tastes and education eminently fit
him, but he will not be excluded
from the public mind man that
grew in public favor as rapidly as he will not
be permitted by the American people to retire
permanently from politics. Mentioned promi
nently in connection with the presidency last
year, we predict that the voice of the Nation
will call Judge Gresham to higher Office than
that of district Fudge. He stands head and
shoulders above other distinguished citizens of
Indiana, and in the near future will be called to
accept more important trusts.

in spirit and with purpose for good, having
a proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
