A few days ago the non-partisan Judicial' , committee of tbo third district had n lot o tickets printed , headed "N'on-Partisa ; Judges. " Printed thereon were the repul Mean stnto , the non-partisan judicial , and th republican county tickets. Tlioso ticket were sent to Huit county and there distribute by a prominent .republican from Tokamal : When this gentleman returned from tli country precincts ho was threatened wit prosecution by some of theTekamah bulldo ; ers who insisted that those tickets wer illegal and would not bo couated for cand dates on the county ticket. Alarmed b , these threats the distributer of the ticket llnally persuaded the rampant partisans t Judge l.uko for a written opinion. Tlirc piomincnt republicans accordingly came t Omaha yesterday und submitted th matter to Judge Luke , who gave them a opinion in writing , which very emphatleall pronounced thcso tickets in no way eontrar to law , and declared that they were Just a k'gal us any straight party ticket and over n.iino on the ticket , whether state , counto o Judicial would bo credited to the ciuulid.it lor whom il was cast. This does away wit a bugbear which has doubtless been worke for all it was worth In every county of th UlhUict.

I' . Hreen , in wliich , if reported correctly , lie suys in substance that while Ije Is in favor of a pure und competent judiciary , be is not in favoi of the bar milking the Bolections. If thi interview has tiny reference to the judicial cun vass now 'in progi ess in this district , ami 1 take it for grunted that it was so ' intended , the inference is n fair one that while Mr , ISrecn is in favor of a pure nnd competent judiciary , yet he is not in fuvor of the selec tion the bar bus nnido In this Instance. I am surprised that such sentiments shoulO come- from him. I luivo a synopsis of nn elo quent speech delivered by this iircomplishctl youiiR lawyer in the city ol Dulniquc , Iowa , in the campaign of ls31. I ptcserved it us n splendid olTort to lift the politics of this conn try on to n higher plane. I quote from it : r r "I hold that tliu mblic lias a concern a deep concern in the personal fitni s nni ] piivnto cluiru'-ter of the men to bo elected U : otllce. There are plenty of good men tc mnUo good onlcers. There is no necessity ol electing bad ones. Your boy looks out tc where life stretches on before him in a lonp line of busy je.irs and ho longs for the ye.ur of bis manhood to dawn , but wli.it must be his conclusions when lie sees in ofllcml pos itions men whose life record on every p.w bc.irs the stains of dissipation nnd debauch ery. Ho must Culturally conclude that oftlcla promotion is u reward for private vice. No no. It will not do. J et us rally under the dnwn of n new era in the politics of thl- country. Let us say to the candidate win comes before the people for their votes , yoi must come with personal fitness , n pure hear and clean hands. I tell you the drunken de b.iuchery in which judges me nominated governors are made , legislature nn elected , is the growing menace t < the perpetuity of this lupuldii hero In Iowa. Thank God tha purity of tin state is making n heroic ettort to lift iwlitic away from the bungliolo and out of the saw dust so that drinks may not hold the b.ilnnci of power. " All his life Jlr. Breen has been n prohibl tlonlst und nn uncompromising foe to tlio so loon. Now , in view of the well-known habit of at least some of the candidates of the re publican judicial ticket and of the method which they adopt to secure election and i : view of the icsolution which Mr. IJroen in traduced in the ' young men's republicni club , I rise to ask If the leopard has change its spots. _ _ _ Ni\o.v , Tlio Saloons1 Must Close.
