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

OMAIII , Neb. , No\v fi. To the Kilitorof tlic
HIK : : I observe amoiifj interviews with lead-
ins attorneys , jiublislicd in this morning's
Republican , one with Attorney J. 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 ,

Respecting your calling upon mo tc
explain why another county commis

without my signature on any of the

of the board without my knowledge 01
