The recent appointment OF Judge Alvey Of
the Judicial circuit composed of Washington,
Aliegany and Garrett counties to the chief
justiceship of the new Court of Appeals has
been a subject of considerable speculation in
political circles here for the past few days.
One of the results of the appointment appears
to be that after the next election that Judicial
circuit will have a republican Judge in place of
the distinguished gentleman who will vacate
his place to assume the duties of the new court
and that it VIII also add republican member
to the court of appeals of this state. 1t is true
that Washington COUNT has returned
democratic majorities for the past two elections,
but not large enough to overcome the repub-
lican vote i'll Allegany and Garrett. The very
high judicial standing of Judge Alvey has here
tofore enabled him to carry majority Of the
votes of the three counties, but it appeays to be
extremely doubtful whether any other demo-
crat in the same territory can do the same.
Another phase OF the matter which appears to
attract much attention is the fact that it was a
judicial decision Of Judge Alvey that placed
the affairs of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
temporarily in the hands Of the bondholders.
under the fostering care Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and the hope is enter
tanned by the friends Of the Washington and
Cumberland Railroad Company that some one
may take his place whose decision may be more
favorable TO their interests when the question
Of the sale Of the canal property comes to be
decided Some go SO far as to assert that the
change was brought about by the managers Of
the latter company and is . shrewd move to
! finally secure the property Of the canal for the
use Of their road. The friends and advocates
OF the road in this locality appear to be much
pleased at the appointment and its acceptance
by Judge Alvey.
