How Democratic Judge Replied to a
Request for His Resignation.
Attorney-General Miller caught a
tartar the other day when he tackled
Elliott Sanford. Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Utah, whom the Adj
mifistration has recently removed.
To letter from Miller requesting his
resignation, Sanford replied asking
If there were any charges against him
and stating that it would be unbecom.
ing and improper for him to resign
until they were proved or disproved.
This brought a reply from Miller in
which he said: ''The President has be.
come satisfied that your administra-
ton of tho office was not in harmony
with the policy he deemed proper to
be pursued with reference to Utah
affairs, and for this reason he desired
to make a change, and out of courtesy
gave you an opportunity to resign"
The judges answer was to the point.
lie wrote as follows: "In reply have
the honor to say that my earnest pur-
pose while on the bench as Chief
Justice of the Territory has been to
administer justice and the laws hon
estly and impartially to all men, under
the obligations of my oath of office.
Ii the President of the United States
has any policy which he desires a
Judge of the Supreme Court to carry
out in reference to Utah affairs, other
than the one have pursued, you may
say to him that he has done very well
to remove me.
Whether this message is conveyed
to Harrison or not is not stated, but il
will probably warn Miller against en-.
tering into any particulars hereafter
