FRIDAY, MaRcH 23, 1888-SIX PAGES. THE VACANCY ON THE BENCH. It is Thought Probable that Speaker Carlisle Will Succeed Chief Justice Waite, ‘The shock of the death of Chiet Justice Waite for the most part checked today the considera- tion of {ts pubilc effect beyond the general grief it canses. Politically, a man of another party will go upon the bench to Ml *he vacancy. As to Who it will be there is but Ittle speculation as yet. ‘There are many candidates whose names come to the minds of everybody at once. Two who were much Spoken of when there was another vacancy—Secretary Bayard anu Attorney-General Garland—will not expect or desire the appoint- ment. Judge Jackson, Judge Simms, and many others who Were named then will again be inen- uoned. _ What 1s thought to be most probabie is that Speaker Carlisle will succeed Chiet Justice Waite on the bench of the Supreme Court. It is known that he was offered ‘the seat that Justice Lamar how occupies betore st was offered to that gentle- man. He declined tt very reluctantly, and his de- cligation was as reluctantly received. But it was agreed Detween him and Mr. Cleveland. after talking tie matter over, that the political sliua- toa-—party necessits “required MF. Carlisle's pres; ence In the House to organize it and to work to bring the party together for the passage of « tariff Mr. Cariisle at the same time told Mr. Cleve- lana that no other public position or trust could so suit his aisposition’ and. fic in with hls inclinations as that of Supreme Court Justice. ‘The mafer Was very seriously considered aud car- tuily Welgled th ‘tne balance, one consideration agathst ano. er, betore it Was’ ually decided that the course should be followed that was pursued ‘tical reasons that then toterfered aro no longer in the Way. Phe house is organized and all Wili be done that ean be done toward passing tariff bit and shaping the party policy berore It w be nee ‘0 appotat Chief Justice Waite’s cessor. There were several montns of delay In appoluting Mr. Lamar. ‘Three months’ delay from now and the tar bill will have been disposed 0 ne Way, and the House will be on the verge Of an adjournment. The only consideration t kept Mr. Carlisie trom the bench last fall will have been removed. Hon. W. H. Barnum, chairman of the Demo- cratic Nauonal Committee, expressed the opinion that Judge Thurman ought to be appointed to succeed Chief Justice Waite. It was probably not quite the thing to discuss the inatter of succession so soon after the death, he said, but he thought It Would bg a wise and a proper'thing to appoint dudge Titurman, fhe M.chigan men are discussing the chances of Postmaster-deneral Dickinson for the appolnt- ent. Judge Chipman says that should he be. put upon the bench be would make one of The most brilliant ehief justices’ we have had, Ivis known to Mr. Dickinson’s friends that Xt has been nis ambition to get upon the Supreme bench at some time, It ts urged that the appoint Ment must go to the sixth district, which tneludes Michigan, Obie, Tennessee and Kentucky. Car- lisie, Tuurman ‘and Dicktuson are ail three in Unis district. It was suggested that Justice Field might bo = nd & new associate justice appointed in his placewbUt a democratic Senutor, a i-vel-headed poutticlan, answered that suggestion by saying: “No, Justice Field wil not be ap pointed, ‘Not that he lacks Uke quailfications, tor he 1s eminently fitted in all except his age. He fs, as I understand, now be- yond the age for retirement. He could have re- Ured at any time within the last two years and walle I hope he may live and enjoy physical Strength to serve for years tocome he must give Way beiore a great while, It would not do for the democrats, with the power to appoint @ Chief Justice to name a man Who, in the course of nature, must retire within a very few years. We tnust'place a man there who can give promise Of retaining the place for twenty years at least. In my opinion tue President will seek for a man Who possesses the ability and expertence neces- Sary, but is not an oid man.” It Was suggested as quite probable that the President will select a Northern man as the ap- apotoument ef a Southern man would provoke criticism to the effect Unat the South was being | givea Woo much power tu Lhe court of Last resort, Some of the friends of Mr, Vilas, the Secretary of the Iatertor, think that he may be the successor of Caiet Justice Waite, The provabie effect of Chiet Justice Waite’s death upon the telephone cases is a subject of some comment to-day uinong Dusiuess men. The fact that the Chict Justice cast the deciing voue in favor of the Bell people in the recent decision leaves the court standing 3 to did not join ta ‘the decision last Monday, because he did not go on the bench until after the case was subuittted. When the Government case shail be subuitted, Justice Lamar will be competent to arcicipaté, and as the case 1s founded upon a de- sion of iis rendered as Secretary of the In- jor, the presumption is that he will be likely’ to hold against the Beli patents. IU18 also thought tuat Justice Gray will hot vous on account of the connections of bis family with teleplione interests. With the court evenly di- vided, judging trom the recent telephone decision, the appointment to the Vacancy on the bench will be @ matter of vital interest to the telepnone people, — ARRESTED FOR AN OUTRAGE, Lemuel Ozden Charged with Comm! ting # Brutal Crime Near Biadens- burg.
