Candi dacy

washington, Ian 3o.-It has leaked
out that an attempt has been made to
have the Department of Justice name
Thomas ]. spellaey Of Hartford as u
S. District Attorney for 1Gonneeficut
to succeed Frederick scott, WHO il a.
j1ReptlbIican hoIdover in the place The
news that friends OF SpeIlacy we're
working FIR him has aroused q storm
Of dtsapprova1s in many directionss par
tfcularIy from the friends OF Ex-Gov-
ernor Baldwin who claim that spell
lacy should not receive the position
las a reward for party performance,
on the ground that his Vitrolic attacks
upon Governor Baldwin during the
latterss candidacy for u s. Senator
was contributing element OF large
degree to the failure of the party in
the last general election.
The statement is made that Spell
Iacy's criticisms OF the administration
OF the Democratic governor were too
bitter to permit him to be rewarded
|Tor them. The Baldwin men have piled
Iup protests against the appointment
on the ground that Spe1Iacy IN his
efforts to nominate his fa.vorite candi-
date for u. S. Senator resorted to tao
tics that were beyond the boundaries
of political practices that would be re-
sorted to by a member of the party
who would have desired to have the
party Judged by the record of good
things it had done. rather than by
the petty failures in the management
of party machinery as failures
through the eyes OF those whose first
thought is OF patronage,
Attorney Scott has not resigned as
yet and the Republican senator's are
said to say that they are going to hold
him in the place as long as they can.
It is believed that Attorney General
Gregory will ask for other names to
consider In addition to Spellacy's and
that friends OF Judge Noone. who was
a candidate for District Judge, are go
ing to ask him to get into the contest
It is quite possible that the opposi-
tidn to SpeIIacy viii put the appoint
ment over until the close of Congress,
land that the appointment will become

A more hopeful spirit prevails in
trade circles. Abundant money
promises to be a powerful stimulant
to- trade recovery The iron indus
try is still very dull, but it's leaders
preserve an optimistic front. 1t can
not grow worse and must grow bet
ter in time. The textile trades are
more active, and better prices are be-
dng obtained for both cotton and
wooden fabrics The high price of
wheat is exceedingly satisfactory to
growers and holders, the only danger
being that values may be traced to.
q. dangerous height. not to speak of
the probability Of stimulating unde-
sirable agitation. The higher prices
for cotton have also impaired a bet
ter feeling in the south; and the ten
dency of opinion in all sections Of
the United States is towards hope
