CHICAGO, June 9.-The appointment OF
Frederick n. Marsh as United States Mar
shsl for the Northern district Of Illinois, an
nounced in the dispatches from Washing
ton to-day, ends the bitterest contest yet
made for the possession Of the local Federal
offices. A certain element Of the local
Democracy early entered the field on behalf
Of VIM. ]. McGarigle, formerly Chief OF
Police Of Chicago. He was urged by the
Cook County Democratic Club, and was also
supposed to be the candidate of the city ad-
ministration. A portion Of the local press,
however, savsgely opposed him. Marsh is
not a resident Of the city, but is highly
recommended. Among the other apph.
cants was Charles Kern prominent in local
politics and ex-Sheriff of Cook county. The
present incumbent is A. NJ. Jones.
