Mr.. Stringer was an able young lawyer,
aud had an excellent reputation, both
personally and professionally.
It left the president feeling assured
in my own mind that Stringer would he
our next district attorney. l am pleased
over the result, since it was out of the3

ACAFFERTY NOT CA ST DOWN. al
Judge McCafferty was called upon,
He said:
The appointment of Mr.. Stringer
was settled March IL. l received word
from Washington to that effect oil that
date, and sent message TO Mr.. Doran.,
who was at Washington. a copy OF

C.-Aecept my hearty and sincere
thanks for all you have done. am
feeling all right and happy and salts

j. j. MCCAFFERTY,"
II want to say of Mr.. Slringer.n con-
tinued Judge McCafferty. THAT he is
beyond any question one of the brightest
young lawyers IN the state. He IS
good Democrat, has always stood by the
party, and there is no Democratic law
yer in the state whose appointment
would give better satisfaction 10 the peo-
pie of the state. Personally he is popular
with every member OF the bar. not only
on account of his personal character
lStlcS, but because OF his pre-eminent
ability as lawyer. In my opinion
there is no man who would be better
able to till the high position than Mr.
Stringer. think Mr.. Cleveland has
honored the party as we'll as the bar by
making this appointment.
The only regret that | have In the
matter is on account of d. w. Lawler,
who, think. was more anxious TO have
me appointed than | was 10 be ap-
pointed. | have derived great pleasure
and satisfaction from the warm friend
ship L have received during this con-
test"
STRIKER FEELS GOOD. TOO.
john L. Syryker. who was a candidate
for the United States district attorney
ship, SAID last evening. i'll reference 10
the appointment of Mr.. Stringer: The
appointment is an excellent one. Mr..
Srringer is one OF the keenesJ lawyers
iii the State and one OF the most consci-
enIlOuS. Moreover, he is staunch
Democrat and has been in the thick of
OIL in al IA
The appointment. L think. will be gen.
crafty commended by the Democrats Of
Minnesota"
LAWLER WAS NISQUOTED-
Hon. ID. w. LAWYER had this To say:
l confess to deep feeling of personal
disappointment at the non-selectIOn of
Judge McCaffertY. He has for the past
ten years been my most intimate and
most respected friend, and during that
time has contributed unSeltiShly more
to the advancement of Democratic priu-.
clpieS in this state than any other man
l know MIR. Stringer is also my per-
SOnal friend and will make an able.
fearless and successful district attorney.
Had L had any second choice it would
have been Stringer. l have already
congratulated him on his success
Please say that the statement published
III some of the newspapers that the
president had promised me to appoint
Judge McCafferty is untrue. and dld not
e;nanate from me. Say also. that the
Democracy of Judge McCafferty and
myself has not been at all impaired
and that il we are spared we shall be ON
the stump together in future campaigns
and during the entire period OF such
campaigns as we have always been III.
the past, and that we hope to have the
privilege of stumping Minnesota IN
1896 for Grover Cleveland.
IT TICKLES KELLY.
Hon. P. Il. Kelly said:
"Yes sir. have heard of Mr. String
er's appointment, and I'm very much
pleased over it. He was my second
choice in the first place, George n.
Baxter being my hrst; but when Mr..
Doran ami Mr.. LAWYER named Mr. Nc
Catferty [ did not want 10 differ with
them. | have advised for the last Sixty
DAYS that Mr. McCafferty's name he
withdrawn and either Baxter's or
SIringer'S substituted. | may be yio-
lating condolences when | say that the
president asked Mr.. DOran If he had
second choice in case he could not see
his way clear to appoint Mr.. McCafferty,
and [ am satisfied that MIR. Doran gave
him the name of E. q. Stringer. l be-
with general satisfaction by the Dem
ocracy OF the state. as we'll as all other
good citizens. He is eminentiy quail
fed for the position, thorough Demo
erat and sound lawyer. l
had a talk with Judge Crosby,
of Hastings, a day or two ago,
and he stated that he had the greatest
pride and interest in his protege and
friend, Mr.. Stringer, and considers him
very able lawyer and thoroughly com
petent to fill the position TO which he
has been appointed. L think the De-
mocracy of the state has every cause to
Congratulate themselves on this APP
pOlntment.
