 Washington, Jan 22.-The subject of selecting a successor to Judge Towns bend was discussed at yesterdays
 cabinet meeting. The attorney general laid before the president the papers in the case, and went over the matter
 thoroughly. The president is very
 anxious to please the Connecticut del
 egation and the bar of Connecticut,
 and may not make up his mind what
 to do for some time. Still many who
 know the presidents way of doing
 business think that an announcement 1 of his selection may be made in the
 near future.
 The papers, consisting of petitions
 from attorneys i'll New Haven and Middlesex counties for Henry c. New ton of New Haven, and a large num- Der of letters from other attorneys in the state for Judge James F. Platt of
 Meriden. It is claimed, however, that
 many signed MT Newton's petition be, fore they knew Judge Platt was can didate. Attorney Hungerford of New Britain was also presented to the pres ident as a candidate. His papers and endorsements came almost entirely from the first district
 Hon Livingston w. CIeayeland. judge of probate of New Haven. and Edward s. Swift, also of New Haven. are in Washington looking after the interests of MT Newton. They are not pressing unreasonably,, however but wish to satisfy themselves whether the president is willing to. appoint two United States judges from the same city This, it is generally understood down here, he is unwilling to do.
