ing Among Republicans.
"Judge Gill is expected here
daily" said a prominent republic
an this morning. Judge Springer
will arrive in the city about Sun
day, or not later than Monday.
Judge Springer's term of Office ex-
pires next Tuesday at u a. m.
and that's the end of this venerable
and eminent jurist as far as his
judgeship in the territory is con-
cerned.
Judge Gill may be confirmed
in time to be sworn in next Tues
day, but it is not probable that he
will begin active operations for
three or four days afterwards. By
active operations l mean that he
would not begin the work of de-
capitation OF democratic ofiicehold-
ers.
"rhere are going to be some
mighty mad republicans in this
northern district inside otter days.
For example, three men outside OF
the territory are to be given jobs
as commissioners. This was all
arranged some months ago, but
Hy Jennings rather broke the
combination. Il, however, the
politicians outside still claim the
three, there will be but one man
to appoint from the territory for
commissioner.
There are all sorts of applicants
here now. Tate, OF Eufaula, is
after the commissionership job,
but he will be left out, lfthe orig
inal contract is carried out. Ben
