EDWARD F. QUALTRouau.
The Press ON Judge FULLER.
Mr.. Fuller Ia man fit for the place,
and to whom no reasonable objection can
be taken.- -[Cincinnati Enquirer Dem).
! According to accounts, Mr.. Chief JUS
tice Fuller is Democrat--not an old
Wing. That's all right.--(New York
Herald Qnd,).
The choice seems to be Q satisfactory
one, so far as the ability and character Of
the nominee are concerned.--[ Albany
Express (Rep.).
Mr.. Fuller has long been recognised ~
q power, and, although . Democrat, he
is esteemed alike by men Of both parties.
--[Omaha Herald (Dem.).
He is not too young to be chief among
his elders on the bench, nor too old for
long and vigorous SERVICE Philadelphia
Public Ledger (Ind.).
It is Fuller Of Illinois; good lawyer,
good Democrat and comes from 3 good
State, looking at 1t from political point
Of view.--[ Nashville Democrat DEM.
The new Chief Justice is Democrat
Of the old Douglas school and . man Of
genial character and profound attain
ments.-[New York Telegram Qnd.).
There is no reason why Chief Justice
Fuller should not give additional renowu
to the exalted station which he has been
chosen to fill.--[St. Paul Globe (Dem.).
There is excellent ground to hope that
the appointment will prove one Of the
most creditable of Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration.-[St.Pa Paul Pioneer-P Press (Rep,).
He is clean man; not politician |;
has no record to be explained OF palli-
ated, and will, doubtless, receive
unanimous vote of confirmation. -
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
He will make one Of the greatest
Chief-J Justices the country has had. For,
Of course, the Senate win confirm his
nomination. It will not dare TO do other
wise.-[Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem).
1t is no objection to him that he has
never held q judicial position, only one
Of the Chief-Justices Of the Supreme
Court having had previous experience
on the bench.--l Omaha Bee (fnd. Rep).
The President seems to have made q
"center shot" in his choice Of . Chief
Justice. Few men could be more for
tunate in the universal testimony TO
character and ability than Mr.. Fuller
Detroit Journal, (Ind).
The selection OF Mr.. Fuller will main
tain the best traditions Of that lofty posi-
ton, and will give univeral satisfaction
to the people Of the United States Of
whatever party affiliations. .-lNew York
Press, (Rep).
His professional attainments, however,
are beyond dispute, and he Is otherwise
highly esteemed. His Democracy and
his age-just IS years-were the strong
points In his favor.-(Indianapolis Jour
nal (Rep.)
The West is entitled to the preference
as the home OF broader and more modern
ideas. The new incumbent Of the Chief
J Justiceship should be more progressive
7 than the court, as q whole, Ia now in
clined to be.-[Detroit Free Press, Dem.
Judge Melville W. Fuller has, for sew
eral years, been one of the foremost law
yers in Illinois. He has earned repu-
tation for fairness and soundness Of judg-
ment. His legal attainments are Of the
first order.-fKansas City Star, Ind.
The lawyer whom President Cleve-
land has appointed as Chief Justice has
eight daughters, all lovely girls. There
were nine Muses. and there are nine JUST
ices on the Supreme Bench. This gap
ought to be filled.-[ Cincinnati Enquirer.
Being held in the highest regard by
President Cleveland, and generally in
dorsed by the Democrats Of the West,
his nomination can hardly fail to meet
with universal approval and hearty
confirmation by the Senate Madison
Democrat, Ind.
He is an able lawyer and Is held In
high esteem by the bar, and while there
are others more eminent in the profess
sion and perhaps better fitted for the
place, there will be q general sense oi
, relief that the appointment is no worse.
, Il -[BurlingtonIH Hawkeye, Rep.
/ Mr.. Fuller is worth about $3.50, 600
, He has never aimed to save much
+ money, for upon his family he has Law
: ished an expenditure which only the
) most indulgent OF fathers would bestow.
For the artificial side Of society life be
} has cared nothing. --[Chicago Herald,
\ Ind.
So, as smart and good man, asa con
sciehtious citizen, as the husband of Q
I charming wife, and as the father Of eight
bouncing, bewitching and bewilderinQ
r girls, Mr., Fuller is clearly entitled to the
pre-eminent honor for which he has beer
: nominated. II Chicago News, Ind.
The comments that are made TO the
effect that Mr.. Fuller is obscure % Z
lawyer are hardly just, as he has rec.
ognized place among the leaders Of the
Chicago bar. That he is capable ~ 9
. jurist with Thurman or Gray or George
A. Jenks, is by no means 30 certain.-
: [Pittsburg Dispatch, Ind.
The cordial expressions Of approval
and satisfaction with which those who
: know Mr.. Fuller receive the news Of the
!, nomination will predispose those lesi
, favored to think the best Of the selec
ton. Tims may prove his capacity and
|. fitness, but it would be better appoint
! ment ii the country at large had some
I preiiminary evidence Of his quaIiflca
tions for this high Office other than tht
! admiring tributes Of partial friends.-
