vacancy on the supreme bench caused by i
the death OF Justice Matthews. They be, |
lieye that tho President appointed Robert |
II Lincoln minister to England so |
speedily in order to prevent Illinois from |
talking about Gresham for the supreme |
court vacancy. They think the fact is
that Harrison cannot forgive Illinois for
SO Enormously supporting Gresham for
the nomination last spring and so en-
barrassipg Harrison in Indiana shown
by his studied neglect Of Illinois in dis
,ributing tho Federal patronage so far
and thew infer from this that he has not !
risen above bis personal feeling against
Gresham himself They are inclined TO
think that District Judge Wood, of Indian.
apolis consistent Harrison man, will be
iumped over Gresham'a head into the
vacancy.
Blaine, who knows how much Gresham
distrusts and d,slikes him, and who has
oral proof that Gresham opposed him in
1854, is dong all he eau to prevent Har-
rison from appointing Gresham Ores
hams sllusion to Blaine in that Paris in
terview last summer cut deeply.
The Michigan senators and Senator
Sherman have been urging the President
to appoint man from the circuit repro
sented by Matthews. Undoubtedly
Thomas M. Cooley of Michigan, now
chairman OF the lnterstate Commerce
Commission, would have been appointed
TO this vacancy IL he had not voted for
Cleveland in 1854. But most of the
Lending Republican lawyers of Michigan
did the same thing, 30 that il will be
difficult to find suitable man in that
state.
Ohio has q dozen candidates. The
two foremost are L. j. Sanderson of
Youngstown, and ex-Govornor Noyes of
Cincinnati. There are numerous oandi-
dates from other states, including most
of the Republican circuit and district
| judges.
DUDLEY AS AN OFFICE AGENT.
WASHINGTON, April IL. Col. Dudley
has been placed in charge of the perma
nent headquarters OF the Republican
national committee, with which he has
alwsys remained in full membership in
spite of bis untoward exposure. 1t was
for the committee that he made his trip
to Tennessee. Dudley is to manage all
nuay's southern work President tarri-
son has as little to do with him person
ally as possible. Dudley Ia not seen at
| the White House Gnd has given up al
hops OF getting an Office under this nd
ministration; but he is helping other men
to get offices aud TO that end haunts the
departments daily. Even Postmaster
general Wanamaker receives him gladly.
Naturally all the boys who ore dlsap-
pointed at the White House 20 to m.
tional headquarters to see Dudley. He
said to. day; II do not want any ultine for
myself. My hands are full. an doing
all can to help my friends any maa
9ao can show me that BIO worked for the
party can he sure that one man at least
will support his claims"
