suggestion regarding the appointment
of Judge Wilson as chief justice in the
following editorial:
What is there to prevent President Cleve-
land from casting his weather eye up to Min
nesota in his search for a successor to Chief
Justice Waite? He might do very much
worse than to select Congressman Thomas
Wilson, of this stale. Judge Wilson is bet
ter lawyer than Carlisle-an ADLER man than
Bayard-and physically and mentally younger
and more alert than Thurman. AS the presi-
