A NEW SUPREME JUDGE.

Justin ulnar—Full Text of the Cloturo
Bale Presented by Senator Aldrlcb—ln
Sonata and llouw.
WASEXKGTOX, Dee. fat—President Harri-
son let political prognostlcatlens all awry
yesterday by the nomination of Henry
Billings Brown as successor to the late
Justice Miller on the supreme ceiirt bench.
Up to the very last moment friends of At.-
torney General Miller entertained strong
hopes that he would be named. Admirers
of Senator Spanner. too, have within the
past week insisted that he could have the
nomination if he would accept it. The
president. however, seems determined to
make no changes in his cabinet at present,
and doubt as to Mr. Miller's confirmation
by the senate. perhaps, influenced him in
passing by the attorney general.
Named by the Mlchlgan Senators.
The president would have appointed
Senator Spooner attorney general bud Mr.
Miller been elevated to the bench, but
this would have given Wisconsin two
members of the cabinet, Senator McMil-
lan has all along contended for the nomi-
nation of Judge Russell. while Senator
Stockbrldge iudorsod Judge Brown. Mon-
day the two Michigan senators agreed to
recommend Judge Brown, and nomination
quickly followed.
The Selection lleartily lndomd.
President Harrison's selection is hearti-
ly ludorsed by Republicans and Demo-
crats alike. Judge Brown is a native of
Lee, Mass. lie is 51 years old and graduo
med at Yale in 1836;. being a classmate of
Chauncey M. Depew. Not long after he
removed to Michigan and practiced law.
Il‘roiu lStL'l to 1813“, be served as assistant
United States district zitinrney. During
the latter year be became circuit judge for
Wayne county. and in 1573 was made
United States. judge for the eastern dis—
trict of Michigan. Judge Brown has ac-
quired an exceedingly enviable reputation
as an admiralty lawyer, and has frequent-
ly been consulted by the justices of the
court upon questions of that character.
Frequently be has appeared as counsel be.
fore the supreme court, and Justice Blatcli-
ford declares him to beene of the most
eminent and talented among the legal
functionaries of the nation.
fli- Personal Appearance.
The new justice is above the medium
height and of stout build. His face is full
and Winsome, and his smooth shaven
echo and chin, together with his general
niennor, give him a most striking, re
semblance to Maj. McKinley. Jostice
Brown is possessed of considerable wealth,
and his wife is exceedingly popular in the
social circles of Detroit. Both have been
extensive travelers. The justice is an
author of ability. among his best efforts
being the rompilation of admiralty reports.
