The Howells Journal says: "Should
the governor see fit to appoint a populist
to fill the vacancy upon the district
bench we trust that J. A. Gnmison of
Schuyler will be the man. There is not
a better qualified applicant for the place,
or a man who stands better with the sil
ver voters of the district." The proba
bility is that no man who was formerly a
republican will even be thought of for
this appointment. And for this there
are several reasons mentioned, among
them being: that the present incumbent,
whose term is to be served out by the
appointee, is a democrat, ami his suc
cessor for the nnexpired part of the
term, at least, should be a democrat, and
thns not offend the democratic hosts of
the district: that the present incumbent,
being a resident of Columbns. the ap
pointee should not only be a democrat,
but also a resident of Columbus. Three
names are mentioned under this head:
Senator Gondring. City Attorney Hens
ley and Judge Duffy the last i with all
due deference to the editor of the Platte
County Democrat), is in sport rather
than in earnest; the main reason, how
ever, why a former republican likeGrim
ison. is not likely to be even considered
in this matter is that this component
partof the fusion forces is not numerons
enough to command that attention re
quired to sign commissions to the offices,
they can. of course, do their share of
the voting, and the campaigning, but as
for holding office Ugh, ugh. These
reasons are not the unhreakable links of
pnre logic, but they do to conjure by.
In the meantime, it is our opinion that
those aspiring to the honor will find
their strongest contestant in I. L. Albert,
a populist of this city, who probably has I
uie etu uj. me governor at uus oiumeui.
