Thlrd judicial district will tender his
resignation to the governor this morn

been rumors to the effect that the Judge
would take this action. prevailing for
some time, but up to date he has said
nothing about himself. He has been on
the point of resigning for some time.
put mas Kept at work until he could finish
some cases which he did not think he had
a right to leave in an unfinished condi-
ton.
Judge Young is an attorney who can
III afford to torsake a lucrative practice
ana go on the bench for the small sum
OF $1,000 per year. and as his continued
service there meant great financial loss,

own protection. Since his taking his seat
he has dispatched business with rapidity
and satisfaction to all and none will re-
greet to see him doff the ermine more than
the attorneys who have had business
with him.
Who his successor will be is a ques-
ton. There are applicants galore NJ L..
Ritchie. T. D. Lewis, Chas Morse and
others are all in the race. The governor

and counter petitions. Lewis has a great
many supporters and friends, but it is

Lewis will be barred. He is young and
lacks experience. Whatever his ability
may be, the attorneys say he is too
young in years and in the practice of
the law to hold the place to the salts
faction of those who will have to de-
pend upon him for an adjudication of
litigation that may be of immense i'm

many believe, although there are those
who profess to believe that Morse is the
man who will get there. Morse is a law
yer of ability and one of the dispa ssfon-
ate people who make model judges, AS
stated yesterday there IS very strong
sentiment in favor of the appointment
of Richard W. Young.
