coast L has been declared at the White
House since the publication that the CORE
Spondence IS genuine. The recipient of the
Presidents letter would undoubtedly be
the last man IN the world to make its con-
tents public. The correspondence there
fore was evidently made public by The
President, OF with his consent. The only
judicial appointments made by the PreSi-
dent in July were those Of James ID, Hayes,
of Wisconsin, 10 he Chief Justice Of Idaho
Territory. and Edward d. Dawne OF Or
econ, to br United States Judge for Alaska.
As Wisconsin has a representative in the
Cabinet one who is lawyer and personally
acquainted with the members of the legal
profession III that State, it would be absurd
10 believe that Hayes i the man referred

William l.. Fleming, q prominent and
weii-known lawyer Of Kentucky, to be
Associate Justice % New Mexico. As the
publication purpur;s to cmanate from Gin
cnuati, so near the home of Fleming il is
perhaps natura' that his friends should feel
unusual curiosity and exhibit some indig-
nation upon what might be regarded as 4
reelection upon hiW, and vet nobody who
knows anything Of Judge Fleming's stand

lucky Ought TO suppose for moment that
he was ihe subject Of the correspondence.
For auEh. that Is known to the public
Judge DaWne may stand rs well profess
sl0nally and personally in Oregon rs
Fleming does IN Kentucky. But If the
statements refer to him, and the President
believes them 70 be true it is difficult 10
understand why he says that the confession
