Just How the President Has Troddcn on

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.--The lawyer. indie
pendent democrat and heartfelt Tammany
hater Wheeler II. Pcckham, said last even

pointment to the United States Supreme
Court bench when it had been confirmed.
He will accept the place if his nomination
attains a happier conclusion than fell to that
Of William II. Horllblower. In speaking OF
his reasons for requesting puncrilious silence
in the matter of congratulations just now,
Mr.. Pcckham remarks sententiouslv and
with the thumb pointed over his should
der due south toward Washington that
he has a lot of enemies down there.
He appears not to have been mistaken, for
n message of inquiry sent to Washington
brings back the answer that the same gen
tlemen who in the Senate judiciary
committee refused to report favorably on
the nomination of Hornbower will also de-
cline to do so on the Peckham nomination.
Their reason is the same, that Wheeler II.
Peckham lacks the judicial experience neces-
sary for Il candidate to the Supreme Court

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
\ Resident of Richmond Discuss"sa Third
Term for Assistant Judges.

To the Editor of the Free Press;
With your editorial relative to county
judges and your estimation of the present
incumbents we are sure all will agree. Ii
is however, rather early to commence the
discussion of county politics 1t has been
the practice and rule in Chitteudcn county
Tor many years to re-clcct the second assist
ant Judge first assistant and elect one new
once i'll two years. In that way you keep
one in who has experience in county and
court business all the time. The presiding
Judges must be first-class lawyers, educated
md trained i'll that direction, if we would
have Vermont maintain her present
high standing. One-half of one per cent
rate on the grand list for Chittenden county
is the usual rate when we have no county
buildings to erect. How does ii happen that
our assistant judges have such eXtraordi-
nary financial ability, when their report
shows nearly S40O Of rent mcollected.
Third terms are not popular in this county.
