Tuesday evening of last week to recommend
Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker for appointment as
Attorney-General of the United States, an Of
fee for which he is as well equipped and as
thoroughly qualified as any man in the whole

Tstitutional lawyer he is prinus inter primes He
is in this respect, in our opinion without q
peer. We know not his equal as profound
constitutional lawyer
On the mention of Mr.. Roger B. Atkinson,
Maj. 7. c. Elder was called to the Chair, and
Mr. Thos c. Kinney acted as Secretary

remarks by Hon. Geo. NJ. Cochran, Captain

Be it resolved by the members of the Bar
of Staunton Virginia, that:
We desire to respectfully recommend to
President Cleveland, the Hon. John Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia, for the position of Attor-
y-General of the United States.
We recognize the high requirements of that
office and feel we can say with confidence,
they would be filled well and with efficiency
by Mr.. Tucker, who is an able, learned and
practical LAWYER profound student and
Jealous guardian of the principles of govern
ment, of which Americans are SO proud, he
has labored hard to maintain and expound
them, and for the success and establishment
Of Democratic principles, he has spent the
best efforts of his life.
While we are well aware many able men
will be presented for the office of Attorney
General we are sure no man in the country,
better equipped and suited for the position,
can be found. We therefore earnestly COM
mend Mr.. Tucker to the consideration of Mr..
Cleveland, and respectfully ask that, as Vir-
VI alan and representative of this section of the
country, he be appointed to this position in
the Cabinet.
Should President Cleveland see proper to
appoint another as ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, we would
secommend that he appoint Mr.. Tucker as
Secretary of State, which Office he would fill
with honor to the country.
We would like to have that very important
office held either by Hon. j. Randolph Tucker
or Hon. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. Either
of these able and distinguished gentlemen
would make good Secretary of State.
