MIR. ISAACS APPOINTED COUN.
 TY JUDGE.
The Appointment Questioned By the Attorney.General-No Significance Attached
 to the Matter.

umns for two or three weeks that Judge T. c. Folbre, on account of i'll health, would shortly go to Southwest Texas for his benefit.
 It was at first thought that he would return in time 10 hold the January term of the County Court, but owing to complications, the Judge thought best to provide for any emergency. and therefore asked Governor Davis to ap- point Mir. M lsaacs as a special judge for the occasion.
 The item appeared in both of the state papers Tuesday, and on Wednes day the Gazette published the follow ing;
 The appointment of Nj. Isaacs by Gov. Davis as county judge of St. Francis county, to serve during the absence of the regular judge, r C.. Folbre, and to prt side over the Jann- ary term of the county court of that county, has occasioned d great deal of gossip.
 "Amendment No. to the state con stitution, giving the governor power 10 fill vacancies, says: The governor shall, in case vacancy occurs ill any state, district, county or township of flee in the state, either by death. Iesig nation or otherwise. fill the same by appointment, to be i'll force and effect until the next general elect on there after
 It is cGn'enGed bY some that MT lsaacs was appointed at the reqaest of Mr. Felbrp, Who k gong to Texas for his health, and will simply fill the posi- ton while Mir. Folbre IS absent from the state, and that, therefore, no va. cancy exists
 1t IS presumed that Mr. F5Ibre vii b. gone two or three months, aad then will return and resume the duties Of tfc office. Over thls, the question arises as 10 whether there is vacancy, aud if there is not, the appointment could not be constitutionally made.
 Tt has been held by Attorney Gen eral Murphy that the amendment un- der which the governor made the ap. pointment, vas not legally adopted, consequently, If anyone cared to ques- ton the validity of the appointment of MT. Isaacs, there would be two phases on which ybe courts would have to pass.
 The case is the first of it's kind since Amendment No , was proposed"
 A Times man saw Judge Folbre at once, and he gives out tue following statement for publication:
 Il think the appointment is regular and according to precedent. You re member that during Judge Tayor's administration, MT Nichols was ap- pointed for brief period during his illness.

COCHRAN EXPLAINS.
Defines His Stand As to Democratic
Nominees.

New York. July 1.-The Associated
Press, Monday, received the following
communication from Bourke Cochran.
dated Indianapolis, July 10. explaining
his declinatiOn to address the National
Democratic convention at st. Louis:
Il left st. Louis Saturday at 1916
because as matters then stood did not
want to Re in the convention when
nominations for Vice President were
reached.
Calls for me to make Il speech which
had been repeatedly made on prior
days. would very likely be renewed at
the final session and at the time 1
could not truthfully assure the COLI
vention that Judge Parker had, in my
opinion, the fainest prospect of success.
l have made it a rule to never say on
a public platform anything which 1
would not repeat in the witness chair.
I could not prophesy victory and I
would not foretell defeat. Silence was,
therefore, the only course open and
the best way to pursue it was by alb
sence.
when l reached Indianapolis l was
handed a telegram from Charles F.
Murphy, informing me of Judge Par
ker's message to Mr.. Sheehan and urg-
ing me to return Immediately.
"In ar instant the whole situation
was changed. The prospect which had
been black with signs of disaster at
once became splendid with promise OF
victory. For many months I had been
preaching that the success of the
Democratic party this year involved a
continuance of constitutional govern
ment in this country. This view was
expressed in the resolution submitted
to the state convention last April by
the Tammany members and I think it
is shared by every thoughtful man in
the country. The one thing absolutely
essential to Democratic success is q
leader.
Till now no one possessing anything
like availability was conspicuous ex-
cept Mr.. Cleveland. To him there We're

His age is advanced. Many polite
ians believe there is a widespread OBJ
lection to giving any man, however,
wise or virtuous, more than two terms
