CHIEF JUSTICE BOYLE.

tatcnt Of the present session Prctseslsly
he had beea number of tilnes in the state
legislature and was once the candidate Of
his party far the position Of auditor zen
ersl his IS most res5sousibse Office IN
,he state, reqHtripg not only clear head
with his party that year He is q very able
iA%yer and Hs1 0f uldoSozed
integrity. 4, is true tha1 Pennsylvania
has Bos uhaf a called the cod. bat fsrsc-
ices uHder the common law. However,
any LAWYER who IA ~ thoroughly grounded
IN common Law a. i Mr. Boyle. VIII soon
accommodate himself 10 the code OF any
state or Territory. PENNSYLVANIA has no
code IN Its civil practice. but has criIni-
nal code No state in the Union probably
/ as had such supreme court as Pennsyl
ysais in its past history Certainly no
gart$is can be named that would excel
John Bannister Gibson, Richard Coulter,
Jeremiah :. Black and others These are
the men who made the laws which govern
the practice of the great Keystone state.
SMALL PHYSICALLY.
physically, Mr.. BOYLE is the very oppo-
ute IL -. -. -
small man with very big head. He is
dignifed in appearance but he Is not
austere. He IL not much of society man.
but just good hard worker feel sure
that the lawyers and litiEa1ts OF Washing
ton territory will not have any cause To
complain of Mr.. Boyle's conduct a. chief
justice, but recognize that IL Will be diff
ncult for anyone to fill the place of the late
chief justice who had won all hearts"
sis Mr.. Boyle man OF family
Yes. he has a lovely wife and four or i've
child,es. The boys are grown but the
daughters are stii quite young ladies. |
think one reason for his accepting this
position was his desire To move to the
West. He spoke TO me on the subject of
coming 70 Washington territory someyears
ago, aud ! think be then had in his mind
10 come ont here.
Man OF WEALTH.
socially and in an economic point %
view he viii be an addition TO the popuia
ton. Mr. BOYLE Is q man Of quite large 1
means and will probably bring more hard 4
cash into this territory than all the judges !
appointed mp TO this time together But he 1
- plain. transformations man and never
puts on ans airs
'MY opiai0n is that goa will be ,ery
much pleased with the presidents latest I
appointment. provided he is confirmed by /
The senate, as he undoubtedly will be, ana \
congratulate the territory upon having /
as good a nan as Charles Z. Boyle for
chief justice.
THAT wHfTEEAsHING.
''Hew about the report of the special
committee. of which Mr.. Boyle was chair
man, whitewashing Attorney General 4
Garland"
THE only fault ever heard found with I.
Mr.. Boy le il bis report in the Taa-Eleetrie 4
scandal, ia which he exoneraled Garland.
j never read the report, but am satisfied 4
that II he exonefafed the attorney general.
he had good grounds for IL. / am not
overwhelmed with the belief that Gariand
did wrong on account OF the outcry raised
By the correspondents at Washington, tor
! remember that when George II. Williams
was attorney general. newspapers heaped
abuse ON bis head until many men be-
aeyed he was a knGye. and some 10 this
day probably continue in that belief. but
no honester man In public life than Mr..
Williams, partisan newspapers TO the con-
tray Notwithstanding.
HARRISON HAS wALK-oyEg.
''By the way, Mr.. Montgomery, Tbelieve
you recently returned from the East.
How did yon find the political sitrationG''
1T looks very much IS though Harrison
would have a walk-oyer. There seems TO
be very little doubt in the East that Har-
riSon viii carry the four doubtful states
IndisnR, New York, Connecticut and New
jersey-iu fact there, is no doubt at all in
the minds of all Republicans. The betting
ia Indiana is uow two 10 one on Harrison
carving the state by 1900 majority. and
saw bets made at such odds.
CORRUPTION FUND.
There Is no doubt but the Democrats
are going 10 have the assistance of CleHe-
lands contribution of $1,000 bHt alss a
percentage on the salaries Of every Office
holder who can be got 10 contribute, TO
pour into New York to carry the Empire
state. think the Republicans must make +
mp their minds 10 have terrific struggle in
New York. but have no doubt of their
success"
oRE6oN DEMOCRATS pExogALIzgD.
In Oregon the Democratic party is 80
demorallzed by the result of the June .
eleetion that up to this time they have I
never ratified the nomination of Cleye-
land. II is probable, however, that some
Democrats will vote for him. The tariff
question IS nearly the entire issue In the .
Fast, as il was in Oregon. and thousands .
of Democrats are leaving the party on that
very issue"
by The way. did You read Gen. Harri
sons letter Of acceptance
"Yes aud IL u q model document. !
q 3l'r think I ever read letter which 50
completely and clearly explained the issues
OF a canfaign. Gen. Harrison has not 4
mace a mistake in the hundreds Of
speeches he has made since his nomiua-
ton. sad he has crowned il all with ms 4
maguilcens letter of acceptance Hafri- &
son viii probably DC the ablesi president 4
Ne have had since lincoln. His wife Is
splendid uaman and VII be Il great ae-
QUESTION fer the white house. she is q
thorough lady and woman OF brains, I
great moiestv, discretion and tact
