On account Of the infirm,ties Of
old age, John Sherman saw fit to ten
der his resignation as Secretary of
State and Judge Day has been ap-
pointed as his successor. Judge
Day, who for years has been par
ticular friend of Mckinley, accepted
the position to which he was appoint
ed only through conviction of duty.
He did not want the Office. Person
ally he would have preferred go
ing back to the practice Of law.
But he did not refuse to yield to the
request. There is no doubt that the
new Secretary will make an able Off
Ger in the position which he occupies,
In all his past work he has been re-
garded as a strong man and there is
reason TO believe that he will be as
successful in the performance of the
duties of the new Office as be has III
his other labor.
