MINISTER TO STOCKHOLM. The Position Honored by the Appointment of Senator Rufus Magee. A Nomination Meeting with General Approbation—The Senate Extends Hearty GoodWill—A Sketch of Mr. Magee. The announcement of Senator Rufus Magee’s nomination by the President for minister to Sweden and Norway was received with general surprise in Indianapolis, and doubtless it was not more unexpected to anyone than to Mr. Magee hims if. The first information that he received of the appointment was from the editor of the Journal, who happened to meet him on the street and unsuspectingly communicated the news in extending congratulations. “Thank you,” rej.lied Mr. Magee, but I don’t know why I should be congratulated.” “Upon your appointment,” was answered. “What appointment?” inquired Mr. Magee. “As minister to Sweden and Norway,” and a telegram giving the news of the appointment was shown. Mr. Magee looked like a greatly-surprised man, and the news seemed to have the effect of a sudden shock to his nerves. He expressed himself as being very much pleased with the information, although he was disposed somewhat to doubt the truthfulness of the report, because he had made no application for the position, and it was far beyond his expectations. When asked if he would accept the appointment, he did not say that he desired time to consult with his friends or to consider whether he could make the sacrifice, but he very promptly answered that if he had really been nominated for the position he would certainly accept it. REJOICING OVER THE APPOINTMENT. The news of the appointment was known in the Senate before order was called after dinner, and when Senator Magee appeared on the floor he was given an ovation by his fellow-members, irrespective of party. A resolution was introduced by Senator Smith, of Jennings, congratulating the President on his good judgment in selecting Senator Magee for the position of minister to Norway and Sweeden. Two other senators were at the time preparing resolutions of the same character. Senator Foulke, in seconding the motion to adopt the resolution, remarked that, without distinction of party, he thought the Senate could unite in congratulating the administration upon the fortunate selection which had been made in the appointment of Senator Magee. Senator Youche, in behalf of the Republican members, expressed gratification over the appointment. Although, as a member of the Senate, Mr. Magee had followed the principles of his party, he had always treated the minority with the utmost consideration,{and he was held in high esteem by ail. The resolution was unanimously adopted, amid general applause. Senator Magee was called upon for a speech, and in response he said that this exhibition of kindly feeling was the one tribute of bis whole life. He did not believe that it was an occasion for words. He could rot talk. His heart was too full for utterance. He would rather have this attestation of friendship than any appointment within the gift of President Cleveland. He bad not asked the appointment. -He believed that it was beyond his worth. He expressed a warm regard for all the members of the Senate, and assured them of his heartfelt gratitude towards them for the kindly feeling toward him which had been manifested. Tears came into his eyes as he spoke. ' The Senate took a recess of ten minutes in his honor, and he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of friends, who shook hands with him and expressed their congratulations. It was, as a member of the Senate remarked, a kind of lovefeast, and it was evident that everybody was heartily glad that the gentleman from Cass,who is generally liked and esteemed, had been given well-deserved recognition by the President. CONGRATULATORY RESOLUTIONS. When order was again called, after a few moments of rejoicing and congratulations, Senator Johnson, of Tippecanoe, offered the following resolutions, which he had been engaged in writing when the first resolution was introduced: Whereas, The President of the United States has appointed the Hon. Rufus Magee, the senator from Cass county, American minister to the court of Swedden and Norway, Resolved, That the Senate of the State of Indiana expresses its great satisfaction and entire approbation of this appointment and considers it a fit tribute to the eminent ability and worth of one of its most prominent members. Resolved, that the Senate of Indiana cordially congratulates the Hon. Rufus Magee on the distinguished honor conferred upon him by this appointment. Resolved, That the secretary of the Senate be and is hereby instructed to forward certified copies of these resolutions both to the Secretary of State, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, and to the Hon. Rufus Magee. Senator Foulke, who had arisen to offer a resolution at the same moment, in compliance with the request of several senators had the following read: Resolved. That the Senate, unanimously and without distinction of party, communicate to the Presiident our sense of the honor conferred on our body, as well as of the eminent fitness of the appointment of the Hon. Rufus Magee as Minister Resident of the United States at Stockholm, and that we feel assured that in this appointment the United States will be most ably and fitly represented at the court of Sweden. The resolutions were all adopted by a unanimous vote. , COMMENTS ON THE NOMINATION. Lieutenant-governor Manson—l am delighted with the appointment. It could not have been better. He will make an intelligent, honorable and dignified representative of the United States. Speaker Jewett—l am highly pleased. Mr. Magee and I were in college together. He was then as honorable and as courageous iu liis convictions as he has ever been since. There is nothing of the demagogue about him. He is always for the right It is a consideration with him higher than politics. It is a fortunate appointment A better man could not be found. Senator Foulke—There is not a man in Indiana whom Cleveland could have more appropriately honored by this appoiutment Mr. Magee has, to a most remarkable degree, that essential quality of tact which enables him to fill any position with credit to himself and with satisfaction to all those with whom he is associated. He is a man of the utmost independence of his convictions, and will not yield them for the sake of transient popularity or advantage—yet of so courteous demeanor and such careful regard for the rights and feelings of others that he rarely offends, even when he most strenuously opposes. He has a peculiar faculty of adapting himself to circumstances, and will fill any place with honor to himself and credit to the nation which he represents. Senator Hilligass—The appointment is au admirable one and insures capability and efficiency in the office to which he has been called. There will be general satisfaction in the State at this recognition, and the President is to be congratulated upon the selection. Senator Francis Johnson—ln my opinion the appointment of Hon. Rufus Magee, the senator from Cass county, as minister to Sweden and Norway, is an excellent one. It was received with unanimous expressions of satisfaction and pleasure by the Senate, and these expressions were serious and honest. Mr. Magee has won the confidence and admiration of his fellow-sen-ators, not only by the eminent ability which he has shown in debate and argument on the floor of the Senate, but also their friendship, by his uniform kindness, courtesy nud geniality. I rejoice at his good luck, and ahi satisfied that iu his new and distinguished position he will reflect credit on. himself and honor on his State. Senator Campbell of St Joseph—l am gratified that Mr. Magee has boca selected for so iin-

portant a place. I regard him as, in the fullest sense, competent I do not see how a more fortunate selection could have been made. Rarely do we find men that have the peculiar combination of ability that goes to make up the safe diplomate—good, hard common spnse, versatility of ability, kindly good nature, independence of thought and action, and sterling integrity. Mr. Magee is such a man. Senator Youche—Although a Republican and feeling no partisan interest in executive appointments, I must make an exception in regard to the appointment of Senator Magee. I have long and intimately known him, and have been associated with him for two teims in the Indiana Senate. I know him to be in every way admirably qualified for the duties of such a position. I have talked with many Republicans of this appointment and all, without exception, express themselves as highly pleased with it While Senator Magee has been an active and able Democrat, he has at all times been exceedingly fair and honorable towards all Republicans; and he has never hesitated to oppose his own party when that party was attempting to carry out any measure not approved by his sense of right No Democratic senator is held in higher esteem by his Republican colleagues than Senator Magee, and no appointment so far made gives them more genuine satisfaction. Senator May—The appointment of Senator Magee is an eminently proper one, and a just resognition of the merits, abilities and services of one of the most active young Democrats of Indiana. Senator Magee will discharge the duties of the responsible position assigned him by the administration with honor, dignity and fidelity, and, in my judgment, to the satisfaction of the people of his own State and the entire country. Senator Winter—The appointment of Senator Magee is an admirable onb. His ability, ac?[uirements and temperament peculiarly fit him or the discharge of the duties of such a position. The appointment is especially gratifying to his associates in the Senate, Republicans as well as Democrats, to whom he has commended himself on all occasions by his great fairness and courtesy in debate, and while as presiding officer in the absence of the Lieutenant-governor. Senator Campbell of Hendricks—l regard the appointment as an excellent one. Senator Magee has shown capacity, firmness and independence in his course in the Senate and as temoorary chairman. There is no doubt of the unanimous approval of the appointment by senators. Representative McMullen—President Cleveland could not have made a bettqr selection than Mr. Magee to go to the home of the Swedish “Nightingale,” being emphatically a ladies’ man. He is a good pemocrat, a scholarly gentleman, and will, I have no doubt, be an honor to the government. lam heartily glad that the President has gone outside of the list of ex-congressmen and other old broken-down politicians and selected a man like Mr. Magee. Besides, he is a member of the Fifty-fourth General Assembly, and 1 am pleased to see any of them recognized. Representative Adams—A good appointment. Satisfactory to me. I learn that he is a McDonald Democrat, which indicates to my mind that he is a man who thinks for himself and acts upon his own judgment. This is also evidenced by the fact that he took an independent stand in favor of a fair, complete and honest investigation of the State Treasury. I know of no member of the majority of this General Assembly more deserving thau Senator Magee. Representative Williams—l am well pleased with the nomination of Senator Magee, and such a selection tends to convince Indiana Democrats that there is a God in Israel. Os course Magee is indebted to Mr. McDonald for his good fortune.

Representative Sayre—lt is an appointment eminently fit to be made, and I hope it may be speedily confirmed. It is an early recognition, by the new administration, of the young Democracy, and no better specimen can be found in Indiana than Rufus Magee. He will fill that or any other position that ho will accept with ability, grace and dignity. A man that is big enough, when foundation principles are not involved, to defy the caucus, ought to be promoted. Rufus Magee has done that. I now remember that he went to Washington in company with Joseph E. McDonald, and his application seemed to go along with less friction than attended that of Mr. Jones for the postoflice. Representative Kellison—The appointment is an average good one in point of ability. Mr. Magee has been wonderfully successful in the past for a young man, nnd he possesses a manly independence that I admire in any man. liis public acts Lave been characterized by conservatism and fairness. He is not rash or radi cal in his views, and in this respect possesses qualities essential for diplomatic life. If the Irish blood in him does not rebel and throw him into the lock-jaw in endeavoring to master the inflections of the Swedish tongue, he will charm the ladies of the court by his speech, maintain the dignity of the United States, and make a creditable minister. Representative Boyd—l do not know Senator Magee, only as a stranger—l know his face, having seen him several times during the session. I have never, from my acquaintance at long range, had any other opinion of him than that he could be counted with the average man. 1 should think it is getting down at least midway of the Democratic class who are standing up to be struck by the lightning of Cleveland’s administration. Mr. Magee being an Irishman, I suppose it will do to throw out for a kind of bait to catch a large number of Irishmen in this country, who will not be bought, sold and driven by the Democratic party longer. Not our will but thine, oh Cleveland. lam satisfied. I have no interest in the Norway and Sweden appointment, and will not inter any protest. Perhaps if I knew Mr. Magee personally I would be highly pleased with the appointment. Supreme Court Reporter Kern—l am altogether happy. HOW IT CAME ABOUT. The appointment is one of the results of Mr. McDonald’s visit to Washington. Senator Magee has been one of his warm friends, and accompanied him on his trip to the %hpital. Although he was willing to take any acceptable office that might be offered him, he did not go to Washington for the purpose of begging one. He refused to file any petition, and the only application that is known to have been made is one which was filed by several of the office seekers. The proceeding was regarded as a joke, because it was not expected that anything would result from the anplication. He could have had the position of Public Printer, it is authoritatively stated, if ho had given any intimation that it would be acceptable to him. It is said that he really declined the office. He had some expectation of possibly being given some appointment, but he had been given no assurances that he placed any reliance upon, and made no effort to press bis claims to recognition. The matter was fixed by Mr. McDonald, and the appointment was indorsed by Senator Voorhees. It came wholly as a surprise to Mr. Magee. It has proven most acceptable in all quarters, to Republicans, as well as Democrats. Yesterday afternoon and last night Senator Magee was the recipient of something less than a bushel of congratulatory telegrams, and had his hand shaken by a small army of bis friends. Senator Ben Harrison congratulated him in person, and immediately telegraphed to Senator Miller at Washington to use all the influence possible to have the nomination confirmed without delay. This action was especially gratifying to Mr. Magee, and meets with the entire approval of Republican*. MINISTER MAGEE. Hon. Rufus Magee, the newly appointed minister to Norway and Sweden, is a native Indianian, having been born at Logansport, Oct. 17, 1845. He resided there until 1562, when he entered the State University at Bloomington. He was a model student at that institution until 1860, and was the personal friend and classmate of the eldest son of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, “Zeke,” long since dead. A singular coincidence may be found in the fact that twenty years ago yesterday he left Bloomington with young McDonald to come to Indianapolis for a few days. The Sentinel was then with out a city editor, and through the influence of Senator McDonald, young Magee was appointed to the vacancy. lie had iu his possession at that time S2O in money and a suit of clothes. He filled the position with distinction for over two years, relinquishing it to enter the legal firofession at Logansport. Iu 1868 he bought the .lOganspo’rt Pharos, and was its editor until 1575. when he sold the property, and re-entered the law. In 1881, ho was elected State senator, which position he6lill holds. While he has always been a consistent Demociat, he has always been regarded as a fair aud unpartisan one, and no

man could have been selected from the ranks of the opposition who would have been more acceptable to Republicans than Rufus Magee. * How It Is Received at Washington* Special to tne Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 30. —N0 appointment from the list of Indiana Democrats could have caused more surprise than that of State Senator Rufus Magee, es Logansport, to be minister to Sweden and Norway. No one here seems to have suspected that Mr. Magee wanted a place. It took the Hoosiers but a moment, however, to trace the influence which brought about the appointment. It was that of ex-Senator McDonald, and therefore gives general satisfaction. It is understood that no one but McDonald asked for Magee’s appointment, and the matter was kept a profound secret The place is worth $7,500 a year, and ranks well. Mr. Hendricks has nothing to say about Magee. He is doubtless jealous because he was not asked to use his influence in the appointment PERSONAL MENTION. D. D. Darrow, of Peru, is at the Denison. N. K. Elliott, of Terre Haute, is at the Denison. Hon. R. B. F. Pierce, of Crawfordsville, is at the Denison. Mayor McMaster has returned from New Orleans and the South.

The condition of the organ has become so very serious that he has been compelled to have it removed, and has gone to Cincinnati for that purpose. Hotel Arrivals. . Denison House: J. S.
