A a it AND rally for Ballou and Estoll nnd the straight roustabout ticket , is 1 bo held in the Sixth ward , with Son ! tor Manderson and James M. Thur to nti chief orators. This will bo an Ii npiring effort. Wo know that Mandci foil nnd Thurston are anxious to pra < lice law before such eminent jurists i Ballou , Estollo and Hancock If the jud cial ticket had boon headed by Pi llawos , Frank Walters and David Vn Elton , these senatorial aspirants woul have boon just as cntluminstic.

Merit Preferred loPurtliinnrtilp. The republicans of Now York bare set nn example In placing merit above partisanship which deserves general at tention nnd unqualified commendation. At their convention last Tuesday they nominated lor district attorney Mr. Do Lnncoy Nicoll , n democrat , and en dorsed for judge of the now court of general bossions Randolph D. Marline , also a democratj who n tow days before had been nominated by the democratic convention. A resolution declaring that the nomination or endorsement of any democrat for a local ofilco would bo to the disadvantage of the state ticket was overwhelmingly defeated. Among these who supported the action of the convention was Ellhu Root , one of the strongest nnd ablest among the republican leaders In Now York , who Justified hid course on the high ground of the .public welfare , which demands that the men who have hunted down and brought to justice the thieves nnd boodlers who for years have plundered the people of New York shall bo enabled to continue their most valuable labors. Mr. Marline is the present district attorney and Mr. Nicoll Is his assistant. They have proved themselves to bo olllcials not only of superior ability , but of uncommon zeal and honesty. Wher ever the district attorney could put his hand on a public rogue ho has notfailcd to grasp him with a firm clutch which no influence could break nnd no tempta tion could induce him to relinquish. In nil this work ho has been nbly and earnestly assisted by Mr. Nicoll , nnd the reward of their efforts has been in a high degree satisfactory and ratifying to honest people every where. Men who had reveled in their ill-gotten gains , managed politics , and corrupted and debauched piiblie ser vants right and loft , nro doing the state Ecrvico at Sing Sing , while others have Heel the country. Never was there a worse nest of corruption than these men have destroyed , and never did men \\ork more diligently , zealously and faithfully to that end. The democratic convention could not di&cnrd both of these men , though the pressure brought upon it to do so was great. It nominated Martine for the judgcship , but disregarded the popular demand for Nicoll. Some concession had to bo made to the undiscovered ras cals who nro in constant apprehension of the honest and .vigilant assistant dis trict attorney , and ho was rejected for another whoso past associations and present obligations render him less to bo'feared. . But the public de mand was not to be thus hilcnccd. The repudiation of integrity and fidelity lather made it more vigorous. The re publicans ! responded to it , and if the people of New York are not blind and faithless to their interests and to the cavibo of public hone.sty they will elect Mr. Nicoll by a majority that will fit tingly rebuke the party that rejected him. him.Tho The application of this example of the republicans of New York to officials everywhere charged with the adminis tration of justice , who have proved their ability , their integrity and their fidel ity , is obvious. It has made no differ ence to Martine and Nicoll that the men who had plundered the people wore democrats , generous to the parly nnd valued in its councils. Having n duty to perform they did it fearlessly and honestly. A wise public policy requires that such men shall have the reward of popular ap proval. It is just to them , and it is necessary to the encouragement of the highest standard of integrity in the ad ministration of justice. The School Board Propositions. The board of education has submitted to the voters of this city a proposition to authorize the board to expend two hun dred and seventy.five thousand dollars during the coming year for school sites and for tchool buildings. Of this bum so von ty-flvo thousand dollars' are to bo raised by the sale of school houses and sites which the board has decided . .to abandon , nnd two hundred thousand dollars are to bo raised by nn ibsuo of bonds. Two distinct propositions nro sub mitted to the voters. The first asks for authority to issue two hundred thousand dollars in bonds to bo expended as fol lows : For eight school sites , 837,500. For five school houses , $102,600. This will [ make the avarago cost of each school bite , .81,087.60 and each school building , $3 ! > , GOO. The second proposi tion' involves the right of the board to bell off seventy-five thousand dollars' ' worth of abandoned school property and expend 850,000 in the enlargement of the high school building and 325,000 for a now school house on Boulevard btieot , near Twenty-first. It strikes us that the board has em barked in a very extensive scheme of school construction. The sum to bo ex pended would almost duplicate nil the present school buildings in Omalm.omit- ting the High school. The BKK al ways has favored a liberal policy to ward public improvements , and espe cially public fcchools , but wo are not yet convinced of the propriety of endorsing the projected wholesale purchase ol sites and construction of what bcoms tc us very costly school buildings. Wo dc not understand why the board proposes to invest in eight bites and erect onlj live school buildings on them. We doubt very nuitfli whethoi 11 Is wise to invest from thirty to fort } thousand dollars in each school house rather than to build more houses at n less cost , Bay from fifteen to twontj thousand dollars. Wo already have n number of very largo school buildings , and wo should now aim to incrcaso the number of school housed rather than the dimensions , so that there will boa more oven distribution of school facilities ovov the largo area of the city. Instead ol expending $237,600 for seven buildings , wo prefer to eco fifteen new buildings for the same money. The high school huildjng is largo enough for all high Echool'purposos. The lower grade pu pils who live in the district covered by the high school should be furnished accommodations in nowbchool buildings nt n moderate costwithln rea sonable distance from their homos. Wo hope the board will modify its proposition in regard to the number and cost of school homos. Unless it does so wo doubt very much whether its propo sition will carry. SKNATon ALLISON has gene to Now York to take port in the campaign in that stnto. This would Indicate that the republicans of Iowa feel so pccuro that they cnn spnro the Konntor , and it is certainly to bo hoped they hnvo good rcnBon to feel thus. Wo believe Mr. Allison is very well thought of in Now York , nnd wo hnvo no doubt helms gene there prepared to strengthen the good impression of him. Ho may very easily make a mistake , however , owing to the danger there is of traversing the lines marked out by some of the republican leaders of that state on ono or more of the chief issues of the time. It * is un fortunately the fact that the views of these lenders are not in harmony , for example , on the surplus question , Mr. Evarts does not think It a serious mat ter at nil , wlnlo Mr. Hiscock takes quite the opposite view , nnd neither is clear as to what ought to bo done about it , but cx-Scnntor Miller , as might bo expected , would solve the problem by increasing the tariff to the prohibitory point. Mr. Allison Is known to have pretty well-defined views on this sub ject , nnd lost they may clash with these of any ono of the New York re publican leaders , nnd thereby increase the confusion of ideas on the subject , it might bo well before ho starts on his campaigning to have a consultation nnd nn understanding ns to what sort of policy he shall advocate. The question cannot bo ignored , and it is obviously desirable both in the interest of Mr. Allison and the republicans of Now York that ho shall begin right on linnet proceed consistently. Other Iiiintls. Than Ours. While the English pcoplo nro kept thoroughly aroused by the appeals of the leaders of the several parties , the world at largo is not permitted to lose sight of the fact that a great Issue is being fought out nnd that the govern ment is still engaged in the relentless enforcement of n stern policy against Ireland. Almost every day universal attention is called to some now act in pursuance of this policy which demon strates at once its unjnst character and the blind and reckless folly of these charged with its execution. The latest of these was the arrest and imprison ment of Sir Wilfred Bluntformnkingnn address in G til way to a homo rule moot ing. It would nppenr that this was the greatest of the blunders that have been made under the administration of the narrow and reckless Balfour. It seems that the meeting which was broken up by the police , and at which Sir Wilfred Blunt was arrested , did not come within the prohibition of any act of parlia ment. It was a meeting called , not by the proclaimed National league but by the English Homo Rule union. In dis turbing it the police wore simply acting the part of rioters , without any color of legal authority , for the meeting was not in the least disorderly. There arc signs that the English public has be come very weary of the Irish policy of the tory government , especially as ad ministered by Mr. Balfour. Yet Balfour himself scorns to bo well pleased with his enforcement thus far of that policy. The older and wiser mem bers of the ministry , however , must bo seriously troubled by the results. The more a forcible suppres sion of the league is attempted the plainer it is that the league is for all political nurposps the Irish pcoplo , nnd that it can bo suppressed only by the use of force enough to keep them all in bubjoction. Evidently this is not prac ticable , nor can the present condition of affairs in Ireland bo accepted by any body as a settlement. The policy of the government merely postpones a settle ment nnd increases its difficul ties. The English people are beginning to see this , and the obstinacy of the government and the folly of Mr. Balfour tend to make them see it more plainly. * * * The labor demonstrations in Lon don , which are likely to " * bo repeated at any time , suggest that elsewhere in Europe the sit uation of the working class is such that an eruption is possible at any time. Every European country which is devel oping great manufacturing industries is exposing itself in n greater or less de gree to the same risks. Belgium is pass ing through aworoo crisis than England. She is carrying on to-day a good many industries which pay little or no profit , and simply give a wretched support to the laborers. The great coal strike in Franco , which only came to an end n few months ago after lasting nearly two years , was made against ft corporation which hnd for years made no profits. The worst of it is that the agitators , when things como to pass like this , por- Siuado the laborers either that if they owned the mines or the mills themselves they would make a good living out of them , or that there I' a fund somewhere in the possession ol the capitalists which the government ought to lot them get at. The only remedy seems to bo the extension of co operation , BO as to spread among the laboring class greater knowledge of the conditions of successful business man agement. At present a largo proportion tion of them talk nnd feel about capital as small children talk nnd feel about their father's money ; that is , as if his purse were inexhaustible or easily ro > planished. ' * * A very important proceeding was con summated when the convention regard ing the Suez canal was signed by the leading powers of Europe. It was the outcome of prolonged diplomatic nego tiations , principally between Great Britain and France. The convention provides that the canal shall bo kepi open in time of war ; that no act ol hostility shall bo permitted at either ol its approaches or on its banks within fi zone to be determined by an interna tional commission ; that belligerent pow ers shall neither embark nor disembark troops or wnr material on the canal 01 in the ports of nccebs , nnd that If Egypl proves unable to compel respect for the treaty , she shall appeal to Turkey , who , in concert with the signatory powers , will tnlco the necessary measures to enforce - force obedience. . The agreement may bo considered a victory for Franco for which her Now , Hebrides concessions nro no equivalent Not succeeding in regaining horPf > nncr control of the canal , it is , hoVc' or , taken out of the hands of Greil Britain and placed in these of Europ'o. In point of interna Uonnl law the cnnnl , by the treaty , is mndo n , plcco of occnn , controlled by none , open to nil , only if the treaty Is violated Turkey stops in ns the agent of the powers. For the Interests of the commerce of the world this conclusion of n long contest Is n fortunnto ono. It mny not bo so for the pence of the world. With the Egyptian trouble off her hands France may now bo more eager for business in other quarters. It will unquestionably bo to the nd- vnntago of nil concerned if the reported agreement between Franco nnd Great Britain for the withdrawal of the French troops from the Now Hebrides shnll bo carried out. It wns impossible for the British government to consent to Franco obtaining any foothold in the Islands adjacent to Australia for the purpose of making penal colonies of them. Not only would such a policy have boon btronuously resisted by the British colon ies , but , had it been carried out , tucso colonies would inevitably have mnnnged promptly to involve tlio homo government in hostilities over the matter. The French penal' colon ies , tli rough a curious confu sion of mind in the French government ns to what cnn bo done with them , have become literally breeding places of vice and of vicious men nndvomon. . The evidence is incontestable that , with the mistaken purpose of helping reform criminals by the introduction of family tics , the French have stocked portions of their penal establishment with men and women , who are allowed to repro duce their kind with the' practical cer tainty that their offspring will bo trained in vico. Tlio English colonists could not bo expected to tolerate any exten sion of such a system near their shores , , and they have mndo it perfectly plain to the English government that they would not do so. It is to bo hoped that the French government has been con vinced of the same fact. * * * In 1800 Jnpan is to witness the estab lishment of a constitutional govern ment , with a popularly elected parlia ment , responsible ministers and the em peror no more absolute than is Queen Victoria. Such a revolution in a coun try which for centuries has been the scat of absolutism , and brought about with no bloodshed or disturbance , isono of the wonders of the time. The prog ress of Japan in the past twenty years is hardly intelligible. In that year the tycoon , who had for centuries divided the executive power with the mikado , was overthrown , and the an cient central government wns estab lished in full power. The impetus was felt immediately. , Schools , universities , printing presses , roads and nil the de velopments of modern civili/ntion were welcomed , and instructors in nil branches wore eagerly sought. Japan became a vast mission field not only for religious but scientific and industrial missiona ries. The empire teemed with intellec tual and physical vigor , and the Japa nese with wonderful speed adopted the manners of foi eigners. It is but thirty- five years ngo that Commodore Perry first visited Japan , up to that time for two coifturies hermetically scaled against Europeans save the Dutch trad ers , who wcro allowed a few places for exchange along the coast. It is less than thirty years since our first am bassador managed to reach the ancient capital of Ycddo to conclude a treaty. The year before our civil war began a Japanese embassy visited this country , but the homo "tho feeling against bar barians" was so strong that in 1SG3 the government attempted to drive nil Europeans from the country , nnd was only prevented by the hostile attacks of the men of war of this country , England , Franco und the Netherlands , and it was not until 1807 , after n severe internecine contest that the progressive party finally came to the front and began the work which now seems in so fair a way to fulfillment. * The invitation of the Madrid govern ment to the powers , including the United Stales , for a conference on Morocco is an important step in inter national diplomacy. The proposal originated with the British govern ment and the object is to guarantee the independence of Morocco if Morocco can bo thereby thrown open to trade. Germany gives the scheme cordial ap proval , for , like Italy , she recognizes the step ns a bar to French aggrandize ment. It is not known hero how Franco regards this invitation , which is in tended to deprive her of a great prize for which she hns long boon hankering. She might satisfy Spain to allow her to round olT her colonial corners , but neither Italy nor England would con sent to any further French ncquisitions on the Mediterranean , The French action toward England in regard to Egypt is certainly bearing fruit , now that French nspiratioiin are becoming directed toward Morocco. * * * The French chambers having reas sembled , it is expected that the fate of the Rouvior ministry will soon bo de cided. The issue of the Count of Paris' manifesto has led many republicans to distrust those monarchists who support M. Rouvior , and M. Rouvior will bo at tacked for this monarchist alliance. M. Rouvier's opponents , not only dcsiro his downfall , but also.M. Grcvy's retire ment ; so that the jdoor may bo opened for a Clemonccau-Boulanger min istry. Among the primary objects of the present outcry against M. Wilson is to cover his fnthor-in-law with discredit and induce him to resign the presidency in disgust. This is in tended as punishment for his refusal to accept a Cloinonceau administration. Such is the outlook at present , and it was certainly a circumstance of very great significance that on the question of urgency in the CnlTarel-Wilson scan dal the prime minister , who opposed granting urgency , wus defeated by a largo majority. * * It is now decided that next summer there shall bo hold in London a great Catbotlo cdngrosa of lay nnd . clerical delegates from all English speaking communities in thoworld. . Prelimi nary meetings were recently held , at which thrco main subjects for discus sion were suggested , namely , the titti- tudo of the Catholic church toward education In general ; whether it is pos sible to arrange for greater cooperation tion of the laity in the work of the church , nud to consider what stops should bo tnkon for the diffusion of Catholic literature among the masses. Cnrdlnnl Newman , Cardinal Manning and n majority of the Catholic hier archy in England approved the pro posal , which is to bo submitted to a full mooting of the principal nnd most in fluential Catholics. This scheme has boon afoot for two years and now seems likely to bo realized. * * The fact that Franco has cutdown her estimates $5,600,000 , taking $1,800,000 of the amount from her nrmy estimates , should bo regarded as a slight token favorable to peace. If they were re duced a hundred millions altogether and some sublime revolution could enter into the heads of these impassioned French nnd Germans to the effect that the world is largo enough for both pcoplo and that they might with some effort manage to live without cutting each other's throats , it would bo ft blessing. Somehow it would seem to bo such tin easy matter. But nations become in sane as well ns men , and wo presume they will go on hammering their prun ing hooks into spears until the alarm is bounded. * * The future empress of China has been selected for the emperor , by the em press dowager , from the family of a Mantchu nobleman , Duke Chao. The Emperor Kunng Hsu , whoso ntuno in English is "Succession of Glory , " is now in his seventeenth year. It is not in accordance with Chinese- etiquette that ho should have any choice of his own in this trilling incident of his life. Ho will know on his wedding day whether the match made for him is to his liking. If ho does not like the lady , however , it uppers that there are others among whom ho may seek consolation for disappointment. The governors- general of the two central provinces , the governor of Kiang-Si and a member of the board of revenue , all of Mantchu blood , nro each to contribute ono of their daughters to the emperor's harem. THE FIELD OV INDUSTRY. Car wheel works uro to slutted in Texas. A 650,000 silk mill Is to bo built at St. Paul. During Sentc-mber 40,000 wngo-woilscis struck. A stained glass factory is being stai ted at Liyncliburg , Va. The fur west coal deposits arc being worked very iirolUubly. The posloflleo employes of the United States number 9-1,700. Electric lighting of mills nnd factories is becoming quite general. The builders of elevators Imvo a largo amount of work on hand. Jute manufacturing will now bo carried on extensively in Allcntown , Pa. Some shoo manufacturers have taken to lining their sllppuis with plush. One of the finest plate-mills in the country will soon stint ut Fuindale , Pa. There will boa general movement next spring for shorter hours of labor. Three hundred men will bo employed at a new plate-mill nt AVhcatland , Pa. A' Brockton co-opcrntivo factory has dou bled its production within six months. The Uussinn government is making efforts to encourage the cultivation of cotton. Manufacturing is active all through the New England states , especially in textile mills. A § 100,000 company will bo able to plpo gas fuel from Illinois to St. Louis next spring. Tin co immense cable driving engines nro being constructed for the Brooklyn biidgo. English workmen nro arriving in latgcr numbers , seeking shop and factory employ ment. Employers are combining quietly for their better protection in several of the leading in dustries. Compulsory education in New England has considerably increased the school at tendance. The southern manufacturing mills 'aro working night nnd day , w ith orders running months ahead. The newer makes of engines nro in de mand because they are more economical in the use of coal. Emigration of labor from the eastern to thowestoin states will probably soon set in. There nro growing demands in the far west and south , clilully for unskilled labor. The steve mnnufacturccs anticipate an ex ceptionally busy winter nnd spring. The stocks aio going down rapidly , and the west ern nnd southern markets nro expanding. Over 5,000,000 feet of lumber will go into anew now Chicago elevator , nnd in n shoit time four moro will bo started , increasing the ele vator capacity (5,000,000 , or 7,000,000 bushels. Fifty master painters of Pittsburcj have organiml nn association to buy glass nnd lead nt wholesale somewhere clso than in Pittsburgl > ccauso of the high prices charged. House-building has received a stiniulous in the west , nnd there is an urgent demand on builders and investors for houses. They are wanted in small mamifactui ing towns , and rent and sell readily. A machine has been invented by which ten colois can bo printed nt once. Instead of using engraved rollers , ns in ordinary calico printing , the designs uro "built up" in u case in solid colors specially prepared. Tlio window glass workers have control of the shops in Great Britain and Belgium , and no interference with that control seems pos- aibie. They have appropriated $50,000 to enforce - force the pauper immigration law. The students of the various scientific- schools mo able to obtain employment at good wages. These schools have been stead ily increasing in membership , nnd promise to supply many practical requirements. The leading architects nro now nt work on building opciutions to bo begun in the early spring. Fiom their standpoint the prospects are a very heavy year's woilc. Ofllce-build- ing will bo pushed in nil largo cities. 's Ticket. Omaha Truth. Truth expressing the sentiment of the workingmen - ingmen of Omaha declares in favor of Judge Mnxwell for Judge ol the supreme court ; Judges Wakeley , GrofT , Iloixtwcll and Doano for Judges of the district court. Wo nro convinced that the worklngmen of the city ogreo with the sentiment expressed ut the mass mooting of Tuesday night , which wus a representative assembly , thnt the Judges should bo elected without regard to party lines. Wo Imvo no sympathy with the lK > lltk-al tricks , the baftcr , the private rnalico which led the rcpuWlcnn Jndlolnl.convcnllon to refuge n nomination to Judge GrolT. Wo ' 'nro not to lx taught on. by un scrupulous politicians who plnrp Might value on the vote of a worklngmnn , wo nro not for Bale , but propose to vote for the beat ninii regardless of party , nnd no QUO cnn read over the names of these nominated for Judges on the two tickets without nt n glnnco concluding that in ability , honesty nnd high character the non-partisan ticket la fur ahead of the republican ticket. The worktngmenK of Omaha nro by no means the slaves which some narrow-minded politicians suppose , they nro fioo men with minds capable of Judging between the merits of different candidates , and they will not follow blindly the dictations of solf-coustllutcd party Icad- dcrs. Next November the labor vote of Omaha will elect Wnkcly , Groff , Hopowoll nnd Doano for Judges of the district , nnd will contribute largely to the ro-clcctlou of Judge Maxwell , who for so many years has faith fully ECivcd the pcoplo of Nebraska. 8(111 Another October Poctn.

"I know the James boys well at St. Joe before I went to Texas , nnd when Frnnk James was down to Dallas llrst nnd n reward of § 10,000 wns oflcred for him , although lots of people knew it and knew ho was there , they wouldn't give it away. Say what people will about the James boys.thoy were fearfully used that is , that family was in the early border difficulties. "Their two sibters were captured ns political prisoners and incarcerated with a lot of other women prisoners in an old brick house that had already been condemned ns dangerous. It foil down nnd killed them. Then bombs or hand grenades wcro thrown into the residence of their mother , Mrs. Dr. Samuels , nnd one of her arms was blown olT , nnd she was otherwise maimed. So you see if the .Tunics boys did not go on the warpath , they had not lacked some sort of a stimulant. "As for the famous Blue Cut robbery , though , I know for n fact that Frank James was not in that. Ho was in Gor don county , Tex. , helping the sheriff to arrest a noted criminal , nnd ho did it. too. 'Tlio shorilT had asked a friend ol mine to get him a good man to help , so my friend went over nnd got Frank James. Tlio shoriir waa very particular in tolling Frank all about how careful ho must bo , or else the border murderer they were after would kill them both in the twinkling of nn eye. "Frank James didn't say a word , and the sheriff didn't know who ho wns , so they rode away over the prairies to ward the lonely cabin whore the outlaw was. It was growing dark when , on ar riving within two or three hundred yards of.the cabin , the sheriff's com panion suddenly clapped spurs to his horse and rode toward itlikea madman. Reaching it ho sprang from his horse and kicked the door down in nn instant , and , with two big revolvers which ho had whipped out , lie captured the out law before he or the sheriff knew what was up. "Tho sheriff was considerably crest fallen when ho recollected the advice ho hnd given the young man who wns with him , and this grow into astonish ment when ho at length found that Jie was ono of the James boys. "The very day the sheriff nnd Frank rode over the prairies to make this ar rest the Blue Cut robbery occurred , so I know ho wasn't in that. No , James has no money at all. Ho has to clerk every day in the store for what ho gets , and ho works as hard as you or 1 do. " JUDIOIAlir , tlelroflH to tlio 1'coplo of Hurt , Wash ington , DniiKlnN null Snrpy Counties. OMAHA , Oct. 27 , IRST. At n mooting of electors of the Third Judicial district , hold on the SJoth inst. , nnd composed of members of both political parties , the undersigned wcro charged with the duty of preparing nn address to the pco- ilo , setting fonh the reasons which have induced them to support , nt the coming election , the judicial ticket on which appear the names of Judges "VVakoloy , Groff , Hopowoll and Donno. a Impressed with thordnnger of making the judicial ofllco a prize for the most shrewd , the most active or the most popular worker In party politics , nnd limy realizing the fnct that to bo both impartial and independent , n > Judge should bo free from the entanglements arising out of partisan strife , the bar of the district mot at the court house in Omaha some days prior to the period fixed for holding the judicial nominating convention. At that moot ing , which was absolutely non-partisan. Judges Wnkcloy , Groff and Hopowoll ( tlio first named being understood to bo uemocratlo in his views and the two others republican ) were unanimously recommended for re-election , nnd n committee appointed to notify the nom inating con volitions of this notion. That committee mot with a courteous recep tion from the douiocrntio convention , nnd their recommendation was adopted , Mr. W. A. Stow being selected for the fourth place on the ticket. In the republican convention , how ever , tv motion to receive the bar com mittee was defeated , and a delegation from the democratic convention sent to notify the republicans of its nominations mot with no uottor fate. It is doubtful if any political convention in the coun try was over before guilty of such gross discourtesy. The republican delegates nominated thrco gentlemen , who , whatever their qualifications may bo , have had no ex perience on the bench , nnd some of them but little nt the bar. Of the fourth , as ho is on both tickets , it is un necessary to speak. \\'o bolioyo that all who have the wel fare of this communilv at heart , who think that judges should bo above party obligations nnd party bias , nnd nbovo all , should bo above pressing their own claims in caucusscs , nominating con ventions and political campaigns , will feel no hesitation in voting the clean and independent ticket pre sented by the bar. Judge Wakoloy has boon known to the voters of this dis trict for thirty years. His career botli nt the bar nnd on the bench htifl been alike honorable to himself and of ben efit to the community among whom ho has dwelt. Ho took the olllco in tlio llrst instance only at the unanimous re quest of the lawyers of the district and by the appointment of n , republican gov ernor. Four years ago ho and Judge Neville , a republican , were elected with out contest by those who believed then as wo believe now , that judicial elections should bo free from partisanship. No whisper of suspicion against his ability has over been bieathcd. Judges GrolT and Hopowoll have served since the last session of tlio legis lature. In that period they have be come known throughout the district , have devoted themselves assiduously to their duties and have shown themselves clean , impartial and iiulustriousollicors ; no fault being found with either of them unless by litigants who mny happen to have been defeated in their courts. The lamented death of Hon. W. A. Stow renderedtho _ selection of nnothor candidate in his place necessary ; and in response to a very ercnornl o.xproBsed wish by lawyers and others the Hon. George W. Doano has boon selected for the fourth place on the ticket. Mr , Doanc's entire professional life has boon spent In this district , and his legal cx- porinco of over thirty ycnrshis probity , his learning and industry nro , wo feel confident , sufficient guarantees that his career on the bench will bo honorable to him and satisfactory to the district. It has been said that were democrats in a largo majority throughout tlio dis trict they would nominate party men men nnd refuse to follow their action of a few days ago. But wo suggest that the proper quostiou for us to ask our selves is-not what would our enemies or opponents do in a given case ; but , what is right ? what Is the best interests of the common wealth i1 what would the purest nnd befit men advise ? If voters would ask themselves these questions wo hnvo no fear of the result. That the ticket which wo ndvocnlo will bo elected in the opinion of those who are best informed in such matters is almost a foregone conclusion. Hut wo hope for something more than mere suc cess. Wo hope for a response to our appeal so general and 50 emphatic that political wire pullers , strikers , caucus lobbyists and all who seek to influence votes by unfair or dishonest mcunfl shall take warning thnt their nmchimit tions , if they nro allowed to exist at all , must bo confined to non-judicial olficcs ; and that the people of the Third judicial district are determined that their min is tors of justice shall bo , so far as their votes cnn make them , of clean hands , broad and impartial views , of learning and uprightness.WIU.IASI WIU.IASI S.
