WHO WILL BE CALLED?
A FEW OF THE MEN WHO HAVE BEEN
MENTIONED FOR THE CABINET.

The List L. Headed by w. II. II. MILLER.
Gen. Hsrrison's Law Farther Judge
Charles Dxnieis - Ex-Governor Proctor
Hon. George p. Loring.
William Eenry Harrison Miller. the
former law partner of Gen. Harrison
and the gentleman who stands an excel
lent chance Of being the next attorney
general, is prebably one Of the least
known of the snen whose names have
been mentioned for the cabinet This
results, however, more from his disin-
clination to enter politics than from any
want Of those elements which make sue
eessful politicians. He was born in Au-
gusta. Oneida county, N. ", nearly
forty-eight years age. His father was a
Wing and an admirer of Gen. Harrison
the First. He entered Hamilton college
at 10 years Of age, and was graduated at
20, devoting a part Of the last college
gear to the study Of law. which profes-
sion he had determined 20 follow. When
he left college he taught school and
studied law at the same time for two
years. He was so successful as teacher
that many of his friends tried TO induce
him to make it profession.
He preferred the law, however, and
soon entered upon its study under the
instruction Of Judge Waite, Of Toledo,
o., afterward chief justice of the United
States supreme court. Completing his
studies, he returned to Oneida county,
and was married to Miss Gertrude A.
Bunce, and they then removed to Fort
Wayne, Ind, where Miller entered ac-
lively upon the duties of his profession.
Here he remained for eight years, and
three children were born to him. The
eldest IS now 20 years of age; the next, a
son, is junior at Hamilton college, and
the third is a daughter about II years OF
age. Miller rose rapidly in his profes
sion, and soon stood at the head Of the
Fort Wayne bar. His uniform suavity
of manner, his comprehensive knowledge
Of law, his fairness in the trial of causes,
all tended to gain for him the respect
and esteem of his associates, and he soon
ranked among the first both in popular
ity and amount of business.
In the course of his eight years of prac-
tice at Fort Wayne Miller had met Har-
rison frequently, and in 1874 he received
an offer of partnership with Harrison in

ed to Miller's judgment in intricate ques-
tons of law, and has had conceded TO
him an ability which marked the high
confidence which he reposed in him. In
fact, Harrison and Miller were different
in the very things which would tend to
make their firm a strong one. the first
having talent for examining witnesses
or arguing legal questions, while the
strength Of the second lay in his ability
10 search out analogies and prepare
cases for trial AS a speaker Harrison
is the more forcible, but as an inquirer,
q searcher after law, Miller is the more
tenacious. In another point the two
were decided opposites. Harrison is cold
and distant. except to friends who have
known him intimately for years; Miller
is affable and always companionable.
While Harrison was depended upon to
present the case to the court, Miller was
the reliance of the firm in their prepare
ton, and nearly all the consultations
held in the office We're held with him.
The firms business was nearly all of
that class that pays big fees, railroad and
other corporation litigation; and the firm
of Harrison, Miller & Elan was sure
to be employed ON one side Of every large
case that found its way into the federal
courts
In everything that pertains to his bust
ness Miller is a model of precision, and
Harrison has come to regard him as abso-
lutely necessary to him, whether in or
out OF Office. The admiration ID mutual,
and Harrison has no more disinterested
admirer than his former law partner.
Miller's home in indianapolis is a very
elegant one, and he is very domestic in
his tastes. 80
Judge Charles Daniels, Of New York,
who is spoken Of for high place in the
Harrison administration, had a very
peculiar experience in early life. He
does not know the day or year, the
place or even the country Of his birth,
but thinks New York city was the place
and 1925 the year. Nor does he know
how many brothers and sisters he had,
as the family was separated in his in
fancy, and the only ones now living are
his brother in Toledo, o., and his sister
in Colorado. His parents were from
Wales and probably reached New York
not long before his birth, but it is not
certain that he was not born in Wales.

GOVERNOR LEE of Virginia in CONVEX
sation with an influential Republican in
New York asserted that this was "a
white mans government, and the Re.
publican agreed with him. The New
York Herald takes them both to task and
says:
But the patent facts are that it is not
and never can be exclusively a white
mans government. The seven millions
OF negroes constitute one ninth of our
population. They have the same rights.
the same privileges that the rest of us
enjoy. Neither Governor Lee, if we un-
derstand him, nor even this eccentric
Republican would deprive them of either

views of nine tenths Of the Democrats he
win still remain in a fractional and frat

Bell, the regular Democratic nominee.
He was precocious in war and politics,
as he had entered on the practice Of law
at Athens as soon as his age would al
low, and Immediately after graduating
from the University Of Georgia in 1869.
In 1875 he wss appointed solicitor gen.
eral Cor the eleven counties in the west
ern Judicial circuit and held the office
for three years. After his service in
congress he returned to the practice Of
law and remained in it till appointed
to the bench by President Arthur. 1t
appears, therefore, that he has always
been somewhat independent in politics.

bench Of 1.-THE state, on which be served
over twenty years. He has been twice
married. and has two sons anda daughter
BY his first.wife. ff
His werkas supreme judge has been
enormous, frequently invoking the de-
cision of 500.cases a year, and his legal
ability is SO great that his decisions have
rarely been .overruled. The first legal
tender case that went to the United
States supreme court came up on appeal
from decision made by hina, and the
reasoning finally sustaining the constitu-
tionality of the greenback was almost
identical with that put forth by him. lie
maintained that the government pos
sessed inherent powers of self preserva-
ton, and as the issue of legal tenders
was necessity to that end sHch issue
was constitutional. 8 o#f
The greaterspart Of his judicial career
has been in the city Of New York, where
he was sent by,Governor Dix soon after
the impeachment of Judges McCunn
and Cardozo. He was inplicitiytrusted
by Governor Tilden, who appointed him
to set at Albany on the trial OF the canal
frauds His decisions in the cases OF
Tweed, Genet and other members of the
ipoted ring Of 1851 were of national
repute. Judge Daniels was Democrat
in early life, but became a Republican in
1855 and has so remained ever since, but
except as candk latefor judge has taken
an inconspicuous place in politics. He
is still, apparently, in the prime of life
and in irn health, despite his intense
devotion to work.

The strong political following of Gov

he was able to solidify the Vermont dele
cation to the last Chicago convention,
that being the only state delegation
which voted solidly on every ballot for
Gen. Harrison. A few days before the
convention the delegation was at sea,
but Governor Proctor was able to unite
it. His business capacity and fair deal
