opinion in commentator of the ability OF
Judge T. j. Anderson as q lawyer of great
learning and attachments, as Judge Of the
highest ability and integrity and
equally or even more strong do I de-
sire to record my condemnation of an ad-
ministration that would accept the state
ment of a nabob hnancier as cause for
removal Of member of the judiciary.
who gave such statements merely
to crafty personal pique at the loss of q
law suit. There was not man but who
believed in The integrity and honesty and
unlmpeachable standing of the man in
whose honor this banquet was given. Mr..
Brown spoke strongly and with great ear
nestness, and in closing again severely con-
demned the action of q government that
upon ex parte statements founded solely
upon personal malice.
Judge T. j. Anderson, in response
stated that the greatest honor q man
could hope for was the honorable esteem
of his fellowmen. The greatest profess
sion was that of a lawyer and in honoring
him as they had the members of the local
honor that the greatest of professional
men could pay. In an earnest speech
Judge Anderson then recIted that his
whole effort had been, during his term OF
Office, to earn the good opinions of his fell
lowmen and his co-laborers in the legal
profession.
The first toast of the evening was 1.-THE
Judiciary" responded 10 by Judge Hender-
son. He said that he had sat for some
time upon the bench with Judge Anderson
that the bar of Utah would remember
that but few years ago the supreme
court of the territory was Deset with MANY
difficulties. That the Congress of the
United States had cast upon the supreme
court many questions for settlement that
should have been settled by the Congress
itself. A few months after these ques-
tions had been thrown upon the court
Judge Anderson had come to Utah
and taken his place upon the bench.
He had discharged the. duties of his posi-
ton in the highest and most honorable
manner. by which be had gained the esteem
and respect of every man practicing at the
bar Of the court. Referring to the charges
on which Judge Anderson was re-
moved he stated that if upon in
vestigation they should prove to be
true they should land him in
the penltentiary, failing of that they
should exonerate in the fullest manner
possible. He condemned in the highest
manner an administration that would re-
move an official upon the OK parte statemenr
of aman who had lost case tried before
that official without sending him to the
penitentiary or completely clearing
him of al suspicion In the
matter In comphmenting Judge
Anderson he said that he did not believe
there was a single member of the Utah bar
or of the people of The territory of Utah
that did not believe In his honesty and in
tegrity as Judge.
