1.-THE appointment Of Gov Hughes 70
succeed the late Justice Brewer Is a
great acquisition 70 the Supreme Court"
said G. p. Maher, lawyer Of New York,
az the New Willard last night.
Gov. Hughes Is a great lawyer and IS
just the man for the highest tribunal
Of the country. The people OF New York
needed Hughes. They needed him TO
bring the moral tone OF public service on
a higher basis 20 lift Il up and rescue It
! from graft and corruption. Gov. Hughes
was The best governor New YORK has
/ had for many many years and even his
/ political opponents respect him, because
I they know he is honest and patriotic.
/ It will be very difficult TO hnd man 10
| du the place which he VIII vacate. The
] New Yorls Republican party has TO
| great men al this time, with the possible
I exception Of Senator Root. This man.
! however. although a brilliant lawyer and
/ statesman. is not popular with the peo-
/ pie and would never create the same en-
/ thus!asm as Hughes did.
/ Attorney General Wickersham IS named
as the leader Of the Republican party n
New York. I see by the papers That's a
new one or me. Whatever made Wicker
sham the leader. 1 don't know. Hughes
had a great future before him IN public
| life. Il seems quite certain that he would
have been a strong probability for the
/ Presidential nomination. He, outside OF
/ Roosevelt, Is the strongest man IN New
York state to-day. and with Hughes elm
linated from active politics. It IS difficult
70 see how the Republican party can de-
feat a man like GaynOr, should he be
placed IN nomination for governor by the
Democrats The whole situation is badly
confused. and il is very difficult 10 make
a guess as 70 the outcome"
