JUSTICE FIELDS REVENGE.-Jus-
tice Field, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, has served con-
tiuuously upon the bench of this
high court more than thirty-three
years. There is a story that Justice
Field has remained on the bench be-
cause he was unwilling to retire dur
ing President Clcvcland's term and
permit him to fill his place. When
Mr.. Cleveland appointed to the Chief
Justiccship Judge Fuller an outsider,
over the head of Justice Field, who
had served more than a quarter of Il
century on the bench, and whose
dearest ambition was to succeed to
the Chief Justiceship, he aroused the
resentment Of Justice Field, and this
is said to be the reason he has held
on during the past four years deter.
mined not to allow President Cleve-
land another appointment. - Al.

Here is a little interesting political
gossip from the Charleston CORES
pondent Of the Wheeling Register:
"There seems to be a rumbling
throughout the State which is pOr-
| teutious Of storm OcCasiOued by
the pressure brought To bear upon
Gov. Atkinson TO induce him to APP
point gold standard Democrats upon
the several boards OF the State insti-
tutions. Those Democrats who stood

pliance with the law requiring a mi
nority representation upon the
boards, selected from the opposing
party. 1t is claimed that in all fair.
ness and honesty the Legislature
meant what il said, and that the gold
standard Democrats can by no ingo-
nuity be called the composing party"
On the contrary, they were the Cou-
iederatcs of the Republicans, and
any other pretCnSC i di-ingcnuouS
and unfair. Gov. Atkinson has
many warm friends throughout the
State who are Democrats and who
never wavCrCd, but respect and adj
miro him as an open political enemy
and man of courage and fair deal.
ing. They cannot and do not bc.
lieVC that he will cheat the regular
Democrats by Crediting their ar-
count on these boards with men who
in the last campaign deserted their
cOlors and helped the enemy. Some !
Of these dCscrtcrs from the Demo- |
cratic party have already been APP |
pointed on some Of the boards aS |
Democrats, and others are talked OF |
One thing il certain, and that i, If
the Governor persists in thus reward
ing these contodcratcs of the Rcpub-
lican party with positions which the
Legislature and the logic of the |
situation require Democrats shall re- |
ccire, his administration cannot re- |
ceivc that reputation for broad and |
fair dealing and equity that his
friends had prophesicd and looked
for. All of the precincts have not
yet been heard from, but when they |
are there will be an indignant resent
ment and disappointment that will |
require more than four years to al |
lay. 1t is hoped that the Governor
will not allow the narrow partisans |
Of his party to allure him farther
into this folly"
We confess that beyond desire to
SEQ good men appointed we feel no
special interest in the appointments
made by Governor Atkinson of the
boards to manage the various public
institutions Of the State. But, IN
as much a h" has publicly an.
nounced his intention to give the
Democratic party representation on
all of these boards, il i evident that
he is whipping the devil around the
stump, giving the Democrats lust
cause Of complaint and laying him
self liable 10 criticism when he So
lects his minority representation on
these boards from the sruall contin
gent who holted the Democratic par,y
last fall, and worked and voted for
the election Of the Republican ticket.
Inc Governor must be blind indeed
IL ne cannot sec that such appoint
ments will not be regarded IA a bona
.Hde redemption of his pledge.
