JUDGE DALEY is THE MAN
1t Is Alleged that the Hartford City
Man Will Succeed Judge Olds.
Interesting and Secret Interview the Gov
ernor Had and Didn't Say Anything About
Several Sore Hearted Candidates.

Governor Matthews will return home
from Jeffersonville to-day. and on Wednes-
day he will give out his appointment to
fill the vacancy caused on the Supreme
Bench of the State by the resignation of
Judge Odds. The sppointee Will be Judge
Joseph S. Daily. of Hartford City. and he
will at once assume the duties of the
office. Judge Daily was sent for by the
Governor and met him here Saturday. The
message was sent to Judge Daily asking
him TO come, and he at once adjourned
court. though in the middle of an impor.
tant case. and made his arrangements to
come.
Judge Daily is the presiding judge of the
Twenty-eighth Judicial circuit and has
been q resident of Hartford City for q
number of years. He is q young man in
the line OF the Governors u%tterances in
the matter, to the effect that he wanted .
young man for the place.
Since the retirement of Judge Odds a
number of men have been brought to the
notice of the Governor by their friends as
eligible candidates for the position. Allen
collars. of Fort Wayne. was most promi-
nent among these. and 1T is asserted that.
had he wanted the position. he might have
had it. The Governor. in fact. wrote him
@ letter offering it to him. but 1t was de-
clIned. Another resident of Fort Wayne
talked of considerably in connection with
the place was Robert Lowry, q ~l-know
jurist and politician. He represented the
Twelfth district in Congress for several
terms. 1t was not until later that

Judge Marshall. of Columbia City.
The friends of Marshall have contended
within the past week that their man was
sure of the place. and it had been con-
ceded by many that nuoh was the case. nor
had is been denied by the Governor. Gov.
Matthew arrived az his decision the latter
part of last week.
1t Is thought that Edward s. Vaughn. of
Bluffton, will be selacted to fill the vacan-
cy made by DailS's appointment.

cent man might be made to suffer for his
crime. He might be depraved and wicked.

the silver men are reluctant to come to
these terms. for, mp to the close Of office
hours. no acceptances were received. How
ever. some belated kilograms may come to
hand before tho calendar day closes. in
which case they will be opened tomorrow.
At New York the market for silver was
tirmer earlier in the day. certificates rising
from 20 to 72& cents. Later. when 1t was
announced that offers had been refused by
the Treasury Department. the price re-
ceded to 7112. Commercial bar silver was
steady at II. Mexican dollars were nom-
inally 81 cents. At London lar silver
closed at SO pence.
