THE GOVERNORS ERROR.

The appointment Of W. IL. White to
the supreme bench is another instance OF
the lack OF tact, or Judgment, SO frequent
" exhibited by Governor Rogers. Had
he raked the ,sion forces of the state
over with fine tooth comb he could not
have raked up an individual for appo MT
ment that would be more obnoxious to
the BRYAN forces OF the state OF Washing.
ton. The objections to Mr.. White are
not personal. He is doubtless we'll
equipped for the position, and he has
been honored by the democratic party on
many occasions, and is now the national
committeeman for that party rom this
state. Neither is Mr.. White to be con-
,lemned for his late views OH the McHan-
ma policy OF imperialism, nor for his re-
cent reversal Of those views, in fact the
agility OF his opinions would rather be in
his favor as a member Of a court noted
for that characteristic. What democrats
10 condemn him for is the use Of his title
as national committeeman in helying
that party through the columns OF the
opposition press, as lie did in stating that
the democracy of this state favored the
imperiaistic policy OF the administration.
AS a candidate for denomination the
governor is unfortunate in his selection,
and appears to have been guided in this,
as in many other official actions, by a
determination to ALLEVIATE those whose
support most contributed to his present
elevation, and is most necessary to his
frtIrrlriHc Jsneyfise. instead "f "si"" "'''""""
II there was scarcity OF suitable ma
teral from which to select chief Justice
the appointme mt Of Judge White might
be overlooked. But no such scarcity ex-
listed. The fusion forces contained a
number Of able attorneys, whose talents
would have graced that court, and whose
elevation would have been eminently
satisfactory to those whosesuppcrt placed
the appointing power in the hands Of
Governor Rogers. Either OF the two
candidates for the supreme court on the
fusion ticket, who made the losing race
in 1898 are eminent men in their pro.
fession and were at least entitled to an
offer Of the place, and the appointment
Of one OF them would have been only a
hearkening to the voices OF over 10000
voter, while the selection of Mr.. White
sends thrill of indignation through the
democratic ranks that will undoubtedly
be heard f,om at the state convention.
