I learn that you have a most serious duty to perform to one of your profession. It is the appointment of several judges for Allegheny County. My friend, Judge Cohen, was appointed by Governor Stone and by reason of dissension in Republican ranks the whole Republican ticket, carrying the good judge with it, much to the regret of good citizens generally, was defeated.

All I can say is that, in my opinion you would make no mistake if you re-appoint him and I believe that I express the opinion of the best people of the “Smoky City.” 448
