lished statement to the effect that there had

six years Of public service, l deem 1t my
has been repeated again and again, not
withstanding the published denial OF my
son and the conclusive certificate Of the
Governor. The author or promulgator OF
the report, implicitly at least, charges ne
with some secret arrangement TO resign the
Office of Judge and procure the appoint.
ment of my son as my successor. The
thought OF SO doing never entered my
mind. The subject of his appointment was
never mentioned by him to me nor by me
to him, nor any one else. The allegation
that there was any thing of the kind is
utterly untrue, and its unjustitiable publi-
cation must have been prompted by unpro-
voked malice.

became at all serious. My resignation in
that time had not been contemplated by me.
l received encouragement from medical
advisers as to my ultimate recovery and it
was not until my return from Florida last
Spring, where / had spent the winter seek
ing health, not pleasure, that became sat
istied that my defective hearing required
my retirement from official life. At no
time did the thought enter my mind OF re-
signing in behalf of any one. Having re-
ceived my Office from confiding people ]

render it again 10 them without an express.
ion of preference on my part in regard to
the succession. Any statement or insinu-
alton to the contrary being wholly without
