Mr. Cleveland received yesterday
letter from the Hon. Melville w Full
ler acknowledging the honor conferred
by the nomination to the Chief Jus
ticeship of the United States. Judge
Fuller does not formerly accept The
nomination IN this letter, but it is
thought that he ommitted this so that
he might do both in accepting his
commission, after he is confirmed by
the Senate. The selection of Judge
Fuller to be Chief Justice meets with
universal approval. He was born in
Maine, educated at Bowdoin College
and read law at Harvard This
makes him a favorite with New Eng
land Democrats. Soon after getting
his license to practice law, he edited
the Augusta 4ge and filed two offices
of municipal Importance. After;this
he moved to Illinois where be devot-
ed himself assiduously to his chosen
profession, bat at times found oppor-
tunity to be Of service to the Demo
cratic party in that State. He rep
resented his section in the State Leg
islatuze for several successive terms,
and has for years been a member of
the National Democratic Committe
to which organization he still belongs.
He is primarily, however, a lawyer
and is preeminent in his profession.
He has managed number Of intricate
cases in Illinois with consummate
ability. Besides being a profound
lawyer, he is a man Of extended gems

fifty-fve years old, is small in size, ha.
grey hair and a distinguished bearing
He has been married twice and has
eight daughters. l beg leave to re
mind the unmarried young lawyers
among your readers that here is a
fine chance for them to try to secure
influence at court. The oldest daught-
er is grown up, and two or three 9th
ers are nearly, ifnot quite, of a mar
riageabe age. Judge EULER is veal

able social qualifications.
