Judging from the press comments OF
the New MExICAN's Iowa exchanges, the
gentleman to whom has fallen the honor
Of presiding over the new 9TH judicial dis
trict in this territory, is in every particular
we'll worthy of filling the high position.
Appended are few of the press extracts
showing how his appointment is received
in his native state:
President Harrison has nominated State
Senator E. P. Seeds, of Manchester, for
the office of associate justice of the su.
preme court of New Mexico. Considering
that Mr.. Seeds is but IS years of age, this
is rare honor. 1t is fully deserved, how
ever, and lowans of ali parties will rejoice
that 1t has been 80 fifty bestowed. His
legal knowledge, broad general informa-
ton and high character we'll qualify Mr..
Seeds to wisely interpret and honestly
apply the law. In losing him Iowa will
lose citizen it can poorly afford to spare,
and the Telegraph a correspondent for
whom it has ever entertained high per-
sonal regard.-Dubuque Daily Telegraph.
Senator Z. p. Seeds has been appointed
by the president, associate justice of the
supreme court in the territory OF New
Mexico, and has concluded TO accept the
position. He will soon remove, with his
family, to the territory, and Manchester
and the county will lose one OF their fore.
most and most useful citizens. This sp-
pointment is one well bestowed and we'll
deserved. Mr.. Seeds is in the prime of
life, has had thorough legal training,
and will make an excellent Judge. He is
Republican by education and from con-
viction, and has rendered eminent service
to his party. The citizens of this county,
and the northeastern part of the state gen
orally, without regard to party differences,
will commend and approve this appoint.
ment, and will extend TO Mr.. Seeds their
hearty congratulations. - Manchester
Press.
The president has appointed Hon. Ed.
+. Seeds, OF Manchester, one of the asso-
clate justices OF the supreme court of the
territory of New Mexico. This appoint
ment is made through the influence of
Senator Allison and Col. Henderson, and
is good one. Judge Seeds has held
several minor Offices and is now state sem
ator from the Buchanan-Delaware district.
During the last two sessions of the legis-
lature he was regarded as one of the
leaders in the senate When boy be
lived in Dubuque for several years, but
for the past twenty-five years has resided
in Manchester. His many friends through.
out the state will be pleased to know of
his good fortune.-Dubnque Times.
President Harrison has sent into the
senate the name of Hon. E. P. Seed, of
Manchester, to be associate justice of the
territory of New Mexico. He will, of
course, be confirmed without trouble, for
there is no reason why he should not
be. Mr.. Seeds is young man raised in
Delaware county, the son of an old an
we'll known citizen who is cashier of one
OF the banks there. He graduated at the
law department of the state university,
was for several years q postal clerk on
the railroad, trying to start himself, and
finally gave it up to devote himself to his
profession. Three years ago, when not
much more than 80 years Of age, his party
nominated and elected him state senator,
and during the past two sessions he put
in diligent and satisfactory work on all
matters outside OF political questions, be.
ing we'll esteemed by his colleagues and
having more than the usual amount OF
influence in the body. Mr.. Seed is a
strong partisan, of course upon the wrong
side; but barring this, he is young man
who is credit to himself and to his To-
cality, and the Herald heartily congratu-
lates him upon his appointment. Itdoes,
judge.-Dubuque Daily Herald.
The papers throughout the state are
very generous in speaking OF the appoint
ment Of Senator Seeds to the judgship in
New Mexico. The Strawberry Point
Press says; "The president made a
good appointment when he appointed /
Hon. Ed. p. Seeds associate Justice of
New Mexico. Judge Seeds possesses a
well disciplined mind, is an able lawyer,
has made fine record as state senator,
is one of Iowas most eloquent orators
and is thoroughly competent to perform
the responsible duties of the office 10 |
which he has been appointed. Man

On Thursday last President Harrison
sent to the senate the nomination of Ed.
2. Seeds, of this city, to be associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of New Mexico.
The news was received here with both
surprise and pleasure, and Senator Seeds
has since been receiving the congratula-
tions Of his Republican and Democratic
friends. Democrats, though not in any
way approving some of Mr.. Seeds poll
tical views, rejoice over the good fortune
Of their fellow citizen; while his party
associates admit that he deserved that or
some other equally good appointment in
Of his ability and services as
worker in their ranks.
About the only fault found with the ap-
oointment is that it will take Mr.. Seeds
and his estimable family away from Man
chester, where they are recognized as Of
hat class Of people most desired as friends
and neighbors. But this objection is
waived because of the many social and
,ther advantages the new position is like
y to bring to them in the far away eoun-
ry in which they will soon reside.
