Arizona republican., 1896-12-13

was born and reared in Oregon, served during the war in the First Oregon cavalry, seeing great deal of service in Indian campaigns, and obtaining a fine record for bravery. After the war he was offered a commission in the regular army, but declining it, prefer ring to study law at which he has made splendid success. He has been su- perior judge and is bright as dollar, gifted with high legal attachments, and incorruptible. MT Mckinley could do no better than to recognize the claims of the Pacific coast to a place 1 in the cabinet by the appointment of Judge Waymire.
 In the opinion of the New York Re- publican congressman the election of a senator by the legislature in that state will not take much time One of them said yesterday that the plan was already laid out for Republican eau GUS on January 13, which is to select a senatorial candidate The election is to take place on the 18th, and very few, indeed, doubt that MT. Platt is to be the senator chosen. Furthermore, the details of banquet to the senator elect, to be given January 25, have al ready been arranged It will be under the supervision of the Republican lea que clubs of the state, and will be held in HarmanuS Bleecker Hall, which will hold 5000 persons. The banquet seats are to be boarded over to secure space for the ding room tables.
 The first candidate heard from for the office of public printer is Col. L. B. Pease, of Woonsocket, R. l., editor and publisher of the Woonsocket Re- porter, the original Mckinley paper of New England, and a jealous worker, in connection with Gov. Charles War ren Lippitt, for McKinley's nomina- tion. Col. Pease is about fifty years old. He has been a printer ever since 1857, and publisher for twenty odd years. He is a native of Connecticut, and served during the entire war. 1 When he enlisted in 1861 he was in the employ of Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, now Senator from Connecticut, then pub | fisher of the Hartford Press, which paper gave young Pease a column and a-half notice as illustrative of the pat riotism of New England boys Since the war he has prospered in every thing he has undertaken, and is now one of the most prominent men in i Woonsocket. He has repeatedly de- clined public office, although urged to accept the mayoralty, and also to be- come candidate for governor at a time when a nomination was equiva- lent to an election. Col Pease has al ways contended that no successful newspaper man could afford to hold a public office, at least before his retire ment from business, and were the posi- tion of public printer not in the nature of professional hOnor-something of the character of the elevation of a lawyer to the supreme bench-it is doubtful, says a correspondent, writ ing from Woonsocket, if he would ac- cept, if rendered. Col. Pease has al- ready said, however, that he would ac- cept this office, and that at no distant day he will make pilgrimage to Can
 ton, with personal letters, and offer his services to President Mckinley. l
 Good morning, Senator Choate,' was the playful greeting given Joseph
 H. Choate, New York's gifted lawyer
 when he entered the clerks office of the supreme court, at the capitol yes terday. MT. Choate is in Washington on some legal business before the su- preme court, and the statement that he
 is the antiPlatt candidate for the sen
 ate, as the successor of Senator David B. Hill, occasioned the little pleasant
 ry above quoted.
 MT Choate laughed good naturedly
 and remarked that he was not aware
 that the New York senatorship was seeking him. When he entered the court room, he received a series ot
 congratulatory mods from the members of the court. He apparently compre. hended their meaning, for he smiled
 and inclined his head upon his hands
 until his face assumed more serious
 expression. He declined to be inter
 viewed on the subject while at tht
 capitol, and also at his hotel Hi! friends say he will not enter into { , scramble for the honor, but if it comes
 to him he will accept it. He has neve
 permitted himself to become involved in any of the quarrels over state poll tics. His distinguished ability and hi pleasant personality have won for hin honors that but few men of the pres , ent generation enjoy.
