HON. MORRISON r. WAITE.
Death of the Chief Justice of the U. 5.
supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Hon,
Morrison r.. Waite, chief juetice OF the
United States supreme court, died NJ
6:1O O'Clock this morning.
Morrison Renwick Wai,o was born
in Lyme, CT, Nov. 20, 1916. After
due preparation he entered Yale Col-
lego at the age of II, and graduated
with honors in 1887, in class which
included William NJ. Everats, Edwards
Pierrepont, Prot. SlliMan aud a num-
Der of others, who became edisttngutshed
men. Young Waite at ones began the
study of law in the Office Of his father,
then Judge of tho supreme court OF er-
rors, in Lyme. In 1888 he removed to
Ohio and completed his studies under
Samuel NJ. Young prominent attorney
of Maumee City. In 1889 he wts ad-i
mitted to partnership with his precep-
tor, and In 1850 the firm (Young &
Waite> removed to Toledo, where
a large and successful fpracttco was
speedily established. A few years Ia
ter Mr.. Waite's younger brother was
admitted to the bar and they formed =
partnership, which continued unit II the
elders elevation to the supreme bench.
Politically, Mr. Waite was lse'
publican, but he was always too deep
ly engaged in his profession to become
much OF the partisan or party leader.
To all the war measures Of the govern
meut he gave an earnest and elective
support, In lS49 he was elected to tho
, Ohio legislature rs II whig and in lS63,
much against his will, became cam
d!date for congress, but was defeated
by Edwin M. Phelps. In 1871 Mr..
i. Waite was appointed one OF tho coun-
sel of the United States before the high
, io,nt commission which sat at Geneva
, in Judgment upon the Alabama claims,
and hc performed his arduous aud
{ delicate task to tho entire Satisfaction
of his government. Upon the conclu-
Z sion OF the tribunal he returned to To-
ledo, and in 1878 WAS chosen member
: of constitutional convention OF ONO,
becoming its president in January, 1874.
a Upon the death of Chief Justice Chase
4 intense interest was felt Throughout
I tho country as to the selection OF ms
successor, After the successive nomt-
= nation of George II. Williams OF Ore
gop. aud Caleb Gushing Of Massachu
y. setts, and tho withdrawal Of the''
"a names, President Grant nominated Mr.
Waite, whose appointment was con
firmed by u unanimous vote OF tn
senate, and on March 4, 1876, he wa
sworn into Office. In that year, who
some of his friends in Ohio proposes
a. that he should consent to be candi
'g date for tho presidency, no wrote let
~ ter declining the honhr, and his opln
n' ions on the subject were applaude
