Judge Edgerten, who has just resigned as
chief justice of Dakota, was born in Rome, N.
Y, ffty-seven years ago. He graduate,,. rom
Wesleyan university, Middleton, in 1851, and
shortly after came to Minnesota, where he
served in two legislatures and was one Of the
presidential electors in 1876. From 1871 to
1874 lie was railroad commissioner, and in 1881

Bismarck Jourlal: Judge Edgerton having
resigned, Hon. Bartlett Tripp will, no doubt,
be appointed Chief Justice in his stead. Mr..
Tripp has been resident Of the territory since
it, earliest settlement and has seen it grow
FROM 10000 to over 100000 Inhabitants. He
has filled many positions Of public trust and
has acquitted himself with hsnor in all. He is
recognized by all as the foremost lawyer in
Dakota, and 1t is doubtful if in all Dakota there
is single man who will raise objection TO his
appointment. The president has been very
fortunate in his Dakota appointments SO far.
Without exception they are good, and have
been so judiciously distributed that no faction
or LEGALITY can CLAIM precedence over another.
The entire absence Of ring influence is also to
| be noted, and in this fact there is abundant
cause for congratulations.
