THE democrats of the Legislature seem
to have presented E. NJ. Haines with the
speakcrship in vain In fact by. making
him speaker they have only placed him
in a position where he is better able to in.
jure the party than on the floor OF the
house. So far as gaining his support for
their senatorial candidate is concerned
they have failed signally. On Wednesday
he openly declared rs intention to no
longer vote for Morrison. Indeed his sup
port of that gentleman all along has been
apocryphal Everyone knew that his vote
would be cast for MOI ison or'y SO long
as it would be intellectual to elect h'n-
1t is now evident to FL, what the ARGUS
stated long ago, that if the democrats
want Uaines vote they VIII have to buy
him over the second time. BY pandering
10 him in the matter of the spea&ership
they have only fed his vanity and increas-
ed his already exaggerated idea of bis
own Importance. He viii demand a biCh>

Recalled by the Resignation of Chief
Justice Cartier.
CHICAGO, March Q A Washington City
special to The News has the following: One
of the first vacancies Mr. Cleveland will be
called upon to fill will be the appointment of
q successor to Chief Justice Cartier, of the
district supreme bench. 1t is a matter of
some surprise that Judge Cartier, who
is an intense Republican, should have with
held his retirement until after Cleveland's in
auguration, thus making way for demo-
crat on the bench His action is reported as
growing out of pique at President Arthur 5
refusal to permit the judge to name his own
successor This SO irritated him that he de-
clined to retire until after the close Of
the Arthur administration.
There is an interesting episode connected
with the district court, over which Judge
Cartier has so long presided. At the COM
mencement of hostilities, in 1861, the court
was composed entirely of strong rebel
sympathizers Shortly after Presi-
dent Lincoln's Inauguration Repre-
sentative Spinner, of New York,
was nominated to the Office OF
Initial States treasurer Spinner had made
