interned.

Nicvkk lefore since the "good
oldjsummer days" of ring suprem
acy has a state convention nomina
ted a candidate for office of the
magnitude and dignity of supreme
judge and then at the demand of
the boss ringster repudiated its
choice and taken another candidate,
as was the case with Judge Duffie,
who received a majority on the third
ballot, and then was defeated by or
der of Senator liurkett and Judge
Letton substituted.
Tin-: majority of the people of
Cass county are acquainted with
the men that compose the demo
cratic ticket. hvervone ot them
has resided in the count v long
enough to become acquainted with
the people. They have been here
long enough for the people to know
that they are in every way qualified
for the position to which thev
each aspire.
Tin-: Journal suggests to its con
temporary across the street that it
"warm up" to the Rock Island at
torney, the republican candidate for
supreme judge. Farley has not
said much for him yet, and ca.t a
vote against him in the state con
vention. IJrace up, I-arley; tell the
people Judge Letton is a non-parti
san judge outside of railroad mat
ters. Tell them you know this from
personal experience. Tell them
that two years ago you vilely libeled
Sheriff Mcliride, and when sued by
our worthy. sheriff, you relied upon
the republicanism of our courts to
save you from punishment. Tell
them how you were disappointed
and that Judge Letton wrote the
opinion in which he justly affirmed
the case against you granting Mc
I.ricle damages with costs against
you to the tune of several hundred
dollars. Tell the people this, Far-
1
ev! cstana up tor your candidate!
There is an impression that you
are supporting our most worthy'
Judge Hastings who is the candi
date of the people who desire fair
play with the railroads the same as
with libelous editors. Speak out,
Farley! The ring element of the
republicans will stand by you, or
if they don't you will gain the re
spect of the honest rank and file of
your own party, anyhow.
Govkrn'ok Mickkv is being urged
to call a special session of the legis
lature for the purpose of enacting
direct primary and anti-pass legis
lation. The governor has not indi
cated what action he will take in
the matter, but if the wheels in his
head are working right, lie will call
no special session. The present leg
islature had a whole winter to con
sider these questions, and simply
did the bidding of the railroads. It
voted down the bill which proposed
a reduction in freight rates upon
the commodities of the farm, and
the people have no confidence in
anv act that it might pass. Do not
put the state into needless expense
of holding a special session of the
legislature. Let that bodv be for
gotten as soon as possible.

In the election of Judge Travis
two years ago, the voters of Cass
county were positive of securing I
a man who would run the office in
a most capable manner, and they
have not been disappointed. They
knew he was a good lawyer, that j
he had practiced in the courts of
the county and district and iu the
supreme and federal courts, tor
more than twentv-five vears. The
people know that he has made a
good judge, and the only reason
some people can give for a change
is, that another person wants the
office, which the Journal considers
a very poor one, indeed. The peo
ple know a good official when they
have seen him tried, and in this in
stance are so well pleased with
Judge Travis that they will retain
him.

but that thev will be in another
year, after the supreme court w
have passed upon some of those
questions. Then, we presume, if
the supreme court says "holdin

with railroads at all," that will set

Jri;i: Hastings, the fusion can
didate for supreme judge, is a man
of brains and legal learning. This
was recognized by the republican
board of regents, who placed him
at the head of the of the law de
partment of the state university.
He would make a most excellent
judge, but the men who do the
voting, are looking for a partisan,
rather than a lawyer, hence a pig

Cast your optics at the head of
this paper and note the names of
the democratic candidates. You
know very nearly all of them.
They are men of most excellent
qualities, and their services to the

will give the best of satisfaction.
Four of them have been tried and
their faithfulness to the best inter

Their records speak for themselves.

All taxpayers who desire a good

the treasurer's office. That office
has never been occupied by a better
man, nor one that has treated every
one having business with that de

same equality. It is hardly neces

statement, localise nearly every

Kdgar Howard, now of the Colum

to that convention pledging its nom
