Fuller Nominated as Chief Justice by President
Washington May 1 speculation on the successor to Chief Justice Waite ended with the president sending Melville W. Fuller of Chicago to the Senate for confirmation. Democrats express satisfaction, Republicans silent. Fuller, born August 1833, rose from Augusta to Bowdoin and Harvard Law, practiced in Chicago, served in state convention and legislature, and is praised for learning and responsibility. He is Episcopalian and married Calista Reynolds, later Mary Kiet, with eight daughters. The article covers Fuller’s career, political alignment, and support from figures like Senator Cullem and Judge Cooley.
