Mr., Harrison Proposed.


cod. ="
Mr.. Harrison Proposed.
An Indiana Democrat, who claims to
have voted three times for Cleveland for
President of the United States, writes to
the Star suggesting the name of BeDja-
min Harrison, of Indiana, for the va
cancy caused upon the Supreme bench
by reason of the death of Justice Jack
son. He calls attention to ex-President
Harrison's fitness for the Office.
"While President of the United
States" says the writer, she was broad
enough and great enough to ignore po-
litical considerations and appoint Justice
Jackson, who was an ex- Confederate and
Democrat, to a place upon the Su-
preme Bench. The question then pre-
s4nts itself, Shall the Democratic party,
through its most distinguished leader,
the President of the United States, be
able to brush aside party considerations
and appoint this emtnently qualified pa
triot and statesman to the vacancy"
Ex-senator Conger, of Michigan, who
fifteen years ago was one of the leaders
of the Republican party is now poor
man, living in Washington. Two years
ago Mrs. Conger died, leaving the aged
ex-senator an annuity of 500 month.
The executors of the estate, it seems,
however, have not paid the annuity for
almost year. The other day he won
his suit, and the courts ordered the exc
cutors to pay the money due or go to
Jail. Mr.. Conger is now seventy-four
years old. One of the greatest speeches
which he ever delivered was that at the
Chicago Convention in 1880.
