THi aVCCBSSIOJI TO TB CHIEF Jt'g- t
i ! qncKSHiP. . I
The list of names suggested for the
succession to the Chief Justiceship of
the i United States is quite long
and i is lengthening daily. ; Leaving
out poutnern men, since it ; seems to
be taken for granted that the nominee
is to be a Northerner, the list includes
Secretary Vilas, Postmaster General
Dickinson, whose great ambition, it
is said, is to go on the Supreme Court
bench; Hon. E. J. Phelps, of Ver
mont, our minister to England; Ex-
Governor Hoaily, of Ohio, now a
resident of New York; Secretary Bay
ard;: Assistant Attorney General
Jenfcs, of Pennsylvania, who is said
to possess one of the finest legal
minds among all the men at present
connected with the! Government ser
vice, and Ex-Senator McDonald.
The suggestion'' that Democratic
Associate Justice Field might bo ele
vated to the highest honor ol the
court and the place thus made vacant
be filled by the appointment of a new
associate is robbed of its value by tho
fact that the traditions of the court
are against such a course, Associates
hairing, by a sort of unwritten law,
accepted their commissions wilhthe
understanding that they had reached
their highest attainable judicial honor.
John Rutledge, the only chief justice
ever appointed from the bench, failed
of continuation by the Senate.
Then again Judge Field is past, the
age or retirement, whi3h, uader tne
act of April 10th, 1869, is fixed at 70
for judges of any of the courts of the
United Slates, and as regards which
the law operates provided the judges
have served ten years continuously.
Justice Miller is also past: 7U, as is
Justice Bradley. The ; latter is
75. : Judge Blatchford is C8, Judge
Matthews 64, Judge Lamar 63, Judge
Gray 60 and Judge Harlan 55. It is
the general wish and doubtless the
inclination of the President that a
man in the prime of life,; good for
twenty years' service at least, shall
ba appointed to the vacancy.
Were it not for the advanced age
of ex Senator Thurman the appoint
ment of that distinguished: gentleman
would be universally regarded as the
step to be taken in the premises. As
it is, speculation is somewhat at! sea,
and this being so, it is interesting to
note the remarks of the Northern
press on the situation.
The New York World (Dam.)
"would approve the sugges'.ion of
promoting the ablest and best of the
remaining Justices without respect to
hia former political am nations, if any
of them is a fitter jurist for the posi
tiph than can . be found outside. -The
Supreme Court should be the seat of
eminent legal learning, the highest
character, perfect impartiality and a
patriotism so lofty that it cannot
Btoop to a partisan action, Such an
ideal is seldom reached, but that is
nd i reason why it should not be
sought."
The Philadelphia Times (ind. Dam )
"doubts whether any in the country
surpass George W. Biddle, of this
city, (Philadelphia) in the be3t charac
teristics of fitness for the i Chief Jus
ticeship."
The New York Time (ind. Rep.)
"trunks it would be a wholesome
thing to return to the early standaid
of choice and seek a .mm who has
already exhibited the qualities and
acquirements that give assurance of
judicial greatness." "
Tiie New York Mail and Express
thinks "it would be a graceful and
popular act, and one dictated by
considerations of justice and wisdom,
if 1 1 he (the President) would
recognize the great And long
continued services of one or the
other of the two aenior Justices of
thej Court who were appoin'ed by
Lincoln in 1862, and whose judicial
eminence does not depend on the
meile fact of their long-held posi
tions." (Justices Field and Miller.)
The New York Evening Post (Ind.
Rep. thinks "the Chif Justice
named by Mr. Cleveland in 1888
ought to be a man who, barring ac
cidents, may be expected to keep at
work until 1915 or even 1920."
The Brooklyn Times (Republican)
is moved to say that "the untimely
taking off of Judge Waite will give
th President an opportunity to take
another step toward Calhounizing the
Supreme Court."
The Boston Transcript (indepen
dent Republican) and 2'raveler (Re
publican) favor the appointment of
Edward J. Phelps, of Vermont, our
present minister to England. The
Herald says tho place ehoujld be con
ferred "upon a man who has the con
fidence of the entire country."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Demo
crat) sententiously remarks : "There
are I eight Justices left iupon the
bench. The President can well afford
to wait. Perhaps he can well afford
to wait until after the second Tues
day Sin November."
The Detroit Journal (ind.) observes
that "The Republicans witj be cha
grined, the Democrats pleased, at the
fatej which gives a Democratic presi
dent a chance to put a Democrat at
thd tead of the court. It would not
be syrprisiDg to see the Republican
Senators trying to stare off a confirm
ation until ofter next November or
nex6 March."
Speaker Carlisle has boen
mot prominently mentioned
among those who have a showing
but he is from this side of the Ohio.
It is a great pity for the Bake of the
whole country that this eec ion ,is
eliminated from the chances, as the
south holds the fittest men ror the
position to be filled. Were there no
question of unscrupulous - sectional
ism jsuch as the Republican party
lires upon the 'appointment would
be made from this side the Potomac
almost beyond doubt
Mr. Charles Dickens, son of the
eminent author of the eame name,
read in Wilmington Saturday even
ing, before a large and appreciative
audiience, five chapters of "David
CopJejfield," and Bob Sawyer's par
ty in "Pickwick." The Jhssengcr
sayst "Ho anted, an well as rad, the
solectioufct, aud his maiiner of reading
tneia nui aried zest to tne lniuii able
n iniiiire penned by the great novel
ist. Mr. Dickens began his read
ings in New York in October last and
hap,aue appeared in ninety six cit
ies of the country, including quite a
number of the leading southern
towhs. Ho says, according to tlie
Messenger, that nowhere in the Uni
ted Statf s has he found his audiences
oi'.'ie intelligent or appreciative than
in the South. He finds that South
ei n audiences have quick perception
and a e opportune in demonstrating
their appreciation. He went from
Wilmington to New York. We are
sorry he did not come this way.

" :! '
MAJ. B. S. TtTCKKB.
That there has as yet been no crvs-
falizatibn of public sentiment in re
gard to the nomination for Governor
indicates that there is no one citizen
who towers above all others men
tioned tin that connection. It also
indicates that there are quite a numbex
of godd party men whose election
would k be entirely acceptable to the
people of the State.
t orfcunate indeed is tho Demo
cratic party in possessing many wor
thy sons of reqognized administrative
ability and of such excellence of char
acter as to fit them for this high office.
But of these men some are more arai-
able as candidates than others, for it
must hot be overlooked that tho Re
publicans aie preparing for a strong
and earnest effort to carry the State,
and they are not without expectation
that their hopes may be accom
plished I
Frequently it happens that the
mos'. available candidate is hot found
among those gentlemen, not lacking
in excellent qualifications, who nave
had a long public career.
A long political record, covering a
period of great public usefulness, of
ten carries with it some unlucky cir
cumstancs that makes against availa
bility. A well-known private citizen,
who has ever been truo in his party
fealty ;nnd who has the confidence and
esteem of the party is always a safe
candidate. It is such a one whose
name is now suggested - -one who has
been a true party man, a private in the
ranks and as zealous a worker as any
of those who hare heretofore borne
the colors of the Democratic hosts on
to victory. He has all the elements
of success, for he has always been
successful in whatever he has under
taken.' With business qualities unsurpass
ed, with large and varied experience,
with fine senbe and excellent judg
ment,;he would enter in'o tho cam
paign to win, and that success he has
ever achieved iu every other field he
would certainly achieve in tho coming
contest.
We refer to Rufus S. Tucker, of
Raleigh. Maj. Tucker was born in
Raleigh, April 5, 1829, was graduated
at the; University in 18-18, and shortly
afterwards entered the employment
of his father, who had for years been
a leading merchant in the central
Eart of the State. In 1851 he, with
is brother, succeeded his father in
the business, which, greatly enlarged
and extended, continued until hia re
tirement in 1883.
During the war he raised a com
pany 0f cavalry which was incorpo
rated into the 3d Regiment of N. C.
Caralry, and served in command of it
until the fall of 1862, when he was
promoted to be Major and assined
to the Adjutant-General'a office.
Fori thirty years he has been a di
rector! of tho board managing the In
stitution for tho Deaf and Dumb
and theBlind, and for many ye irs its
president. He has also had expe
rience in managing the affairs of rail
roads and banks and other institutions
of a quasi public nature. And dur
ing this long term of service he has
so administered the matters commit
ted to his charge that no aet of his in
such iLanagement has ever been ques
tioned, or mentioned except to elicit
approval. His business qualifications
hare made a success of erery matter
he has undertaken, and tho secret of
I his success lies largely io his own
personal attention to erery detail,
bringing to bear on the work his rare
good judgment nnd indefatigable in
dustry As a merchant he extended the
business of his house, which fifty
years ago was well known in central
Norths Caroliua, until it became a
household word in most of the coun
ties of the State.
In farming he ranks with the best.
It is his boast that he has made more
cottonj to the acre than any other man
in North Carolina, and that hia stock
is equal to any in the S ate. He
has an acquaintance throughout the
State not second to any man in our
borders, and he numbers personal
friendi in every county.
It ia not necessary to say that ha is
entirely informed on all public ques
tions and that his administration o th o
office Of Governor would redound to
the honor of the State and to the ad
vancement of the best interests of the
people. He would promote -he pub
lic welfare, and give aa impetus to
that development of our material re
sources which now promises to en
hance ; so largely the prosperity of
North Carolina.
In him center not merely all the
qualities for the office but also all
the elements of availability.
Having been a merchant of thirty
five years experience his election
would doubtless tend greatly
to the advantage of those engaged in
that buaioees whose needs he under
stands: so thoroughly, while baing
largejy engaged in agriculture,his in
tercsj a would lead him to fobter as
far na practicable, measured that
wbuiifU promote the welfare of the
farmers of the State.
If be shi'l bt selected as the candi
date, ay his eurg and sagacity, by
his in lustry and thorough organiza
tion tie will bring to the pDlls every
Democratic voter, and the party will
enter ion the campaign with nothing
to feak but with every assurance that
the olid time Dfimocriitic majority will
be maintained, and that a sweeping
rictory will crown his exertions.
It ist'not known to the writer that
Major Tucker bus any aspiration for
public position, or that he would ac
cept the nomination for any political
office, but if he were chocen and elect
ed, alld should gire to the office the
same management Lhat ho baa giren
to his private affairs he would make a
Gorei nor of unsurpassed usefulness to
the pepple of the State.

The Bnow that fell last week has
rapidly disappeared and is no longer
a . serious obstacle to business. As
was to have been expected, the melt-j:v-

over a portion of the Southern-States,
aid a snow storm of unusual violence,

that for last week. Local trade im
proved as the obstacles to' transporta

important declines having taken place
in wnear, corn ana cotton, causing

cian, and determined to go to court
because of tlie decision to be deliv
ered in the telephone case, deciding,
however, that he would not read the
decision, but would transfer that duty
to Justice Blatchford.
The exposure consequent upon this
journey accentuated the cold and on
Tuesday he was advised to go to bed.
Nothing serious was expected, but on
Wednesday Miss Waite decided to
telegraph hfer brother, Mr. C C.
Waite, of Cincinnati, who arrived in
Washington ; Thursday fteruoou.
Surgeon Kufh, of the TJ. S. Navy, the
physician in atbandance, aDd a friend
of the family ntlrvised Mr. Waite on
his arrival thjit it would be advisable
to call in another physician in con
sultation. Dr. Gavdnri wiis sum
moned, and the ronult was that
Thu'sday night at midnight the pa
tient and family were assured that
there was no danger.
At 5 o'clock Friday morning the
nurse heard ithe Chief Justice moan,
and,' going -to bis bedside, was iu
fonurd that he fc-lt pretty well. An
hour and a half later, hearing a gafcp,
she ran to the bedside, ond found the
Judge a corpse.
