Judge Turpie’s Appointment.

Washington, July 18.—Nothing has occurred since the 4th of March, 1885, giving the Democrats of the country larger satisfaction than the appointment Judge Turpie has received. His acceptance evidences that the office is agreeable —suited to his taste. Judge Turpie would carry to any office within the gift of the President more than enough talents to perform its duties. This is widely understood, as the President has been informed. Mr. Cleveland asked Senator Yoorhees: “Who is Judge Turpie?’ “A citizen of Indiana,” was the reply, “to whom I feel like apologizing every time we meet.” “Why?” ‘For the reason that I am in the Senate of the United States and he is not.” On the occasion of Mr. Hendricks’ last visit to this city your correspondent, in the company of Senator Voorhees, was in his room at the Willard one evening. The conversation drifting upon political opinion, reference was incidentally made to Judge Turpie. “You know what a wonderfully logical mind Judge Turpie has,” observed Mr. Hendricks. “Yes,” answered Mr. Voorhees, “a mind equally logical is not’at present in the Senate.” Mr. Hendricks then proc eded to give the substance of an opinion on the rules of civil service reform that he had secured from Judge Turpie. Colonel John S. Williams has written concerning the excellent influence the appointment must have upon the party. Meeting Internal Revenue Collector Miller at the west door of the Treasury Department last evening, he extended his hand in congratulation and said: “The recognition of your fellow-citizen, Judge Turpie, is an honor to all connected with President Cleveland’s administi ation.”—lndianapolis Sentinel Special.
