unwse for a Deputy Attorney General to appear as
counsel for private ntigant political party Still
II seems TO me that the things which Judge Maynard
did were mistakes which any counsel might have made
In the excess OF zeal therefore view the action OF
the Bar Association as too severe"
Wall Street Is at present much interested IN the
progress Of the Bland silver bill in Congress TO feel
deep concern affairs which II considers to be of
minor Importance. Nevertheless there was great deal
OF quiet talk respecting the emphatic rebuke which the
Bar Association had administered 20 Justice Maynard
for his dsgracefu connection with the stealing of the
late Senator Deane's seat In the State Senate. Partisan
Democrats lame In their offerings OF excuses Tor
the besmrched Judge but the moro conservative men
Of that political faith glad at the action OF the
Bar Association. while regrettlng that their party was
responsible for inviting the rebuke 1t was generally
believed that the scandal would inue Senator liliis
work for the Presidential nomination. and 1t was also
held that Governor Flowers Presidential aspirations had
been badly hurt.
Candid men rejolced that at last singing condem-
nation had been passed upon Judge Maynaids out
rcgeous conduct and hopes were expressed that the
Legislature might rise sufficiently above partisarshp TO
relieve the Court Of Appeals OF the disgrace OF his pres
enee In that body.
Colonel George Bliss said yesterday that the time
for him TO talk about the Duchess County steal had
gone by and that he had already expressed his opn-
ions the subject In the newspapers. When com
mittee Of nine lawyers of high standing as those
names to a paper such the report adopted Mt the
meeting Tuesday night 1t settled the matter In the
forum Of public opinion for all time Mr. hiss sao
that he had been prepared for majority and MI
nory report from the committee, but he was not pre-
pared for so sweeping blow as had been dealt inc
action OF the Bar Association. he thought was not only
o deathblow to Maynard but it was great victory
Tor the Republican party The result reached by tho
Association surprising also from the fact that
seven OF the nine members Of the committee were OF
the same political party to which Judge Maynard be
longed. ~.
Ex-Judge William III. Arnoux made a point IN ms
speech before the meeting of the association on tues
day evening which. owing 10 the lateness Of the hour
not recorded in the newspapers. II was In an
swer to the assertion Of the who had spoken In
favor OF Judge MAYNARD to the effect that II Judge
Maynard could not be mpeached he could not be re-
moved from office
Such contention exJudge Arnoux SAID was
ridiculous its face. The fact that there was law
providing for the removal Of judge OF the Court OF
Appeals without Impeachment allowed plainly that it
the intention Of the lawmakers to have exactly TINS
distinction, so that if judge committed an act for
which he could not be impeached but through which
he had lost bis usefulness judicial oihCer there
might be some way Of getting rid of him. There was
question whatever, he thought, about the power OF
removal In spite Of the fact that the offence was not
committed while Maynard Judge.
