VELCOME THE NATION'S OV12STS. The distinguished representatives of ho independent American govern- nonls who will arrive in Omaha to-day vill receive a inost.cordial and hearty vclconfo to the Gate City of the west. \Vo can not present for their entertain ment BO many features of metropolitan vonlth and greatness as they have wit nessed in some of the cities on their our , but wo can show them n hopl- ality and consideration as sincere as hey have nnywhoro received. Wo can not take them through great industrial establishments rivaling those they have already visited , but wo shall show them n city of one hundred anil twenty-live housand people , which is the growth of ess than : i generation , in which all the conditions and attributes of the highest civilization are present , in which law and order nro as fully respected ami as carefully conserved as in any other city of the land , and which , in its ontor- n'iso and its sympathy with the spirit of progress , represents nnd typifies vcsturn character and aspirations as ully as nny city ot the west , In honoring these distinguished juests wo honor ourselves. They ropro- ont the best intelligence nnd the mosc u'ogrcsslvo ideas ot fifty millions of > coplo whoso civilization is not inferior o Our own , who have vast resources at heir commandwhoso governments gen erally are for the most part similar to our own , and who arc oushtng their mn- orial progress with remarkable activity uul vigor. They represent countries whoso aggregated - commerce amounts o one thousand millions of dollars a rear , and which is steadily and rapidly frowing. They have como to the Jnitcd States with a definite purpose , and one ot the very highest importance upon which nations can confer , that of establishing an equitable line of mutual ntcrest , closer commercial relations , and they bear to the government and people of the United States assurance of the good will and sympathy of their jovernmonts and pooplo. All of Jiom are tnoroughly American in sentiment. They bollovo that the time has come when the independent nations of the American continents , laving in largo part a common history and common interests , should cultivate a closer friendship in furtherance of a common destiny. In all their uttor- .inccs since they have boon among us -hey have assured us of the earnest de sire of their people to enlarge their re lations with the United States , nnd to establish an intercourse that would bo mutually advantageous and con tribute to the welfare , progress ana prosperity of all. They appreciate the magnitude , the energy , the resources and the power of this country ) and they are prepared to promote such fair and equitable union of commercial interests as would make the people of the Amer icas secure in political harmony , safe [ roiri foreign aggression and operate as mighty stimulus to the general pros perity. Such is the character and such the mission of the distinguished gentlemen who will bo the guests of Omaha to-day and to-morrow. They are entitled to our most cordiiil welcome , to our hearti est hospitality nnd our highest con sideration. TO WHOM I1ELOXGS TUK CRElilT ? The great majority of fair-minded men in this country give Mr. Blaine the credit of having prepared the way for the conference of the throe Amor * icas. But his right to this honor is not unquestioned , and among these who question it is the democratic candidate for governor of Massachusetts , ox-Con gressman Russell-who in the last house ot representatives was a member of the committee on foreign alTairs , to which the bill providing for the congress was referred. In a recent speech Mr. Russell stated that the bill was in troduced into the house by Mr. McCrcary , of Kentucky , ana after having boon reported favorably from tho' foreign affairs committee was passed. . . In the senate amendments wore maJo to it. and on its return to the house the speaker appointed on the partot the. house three managers' , of whom Mr. Russell was ono , and who in sisted upon the original bill. This was conceded by the senate , and the bill having been returned to the house sub- blantlully as it was passed , it wont to President Cleveland , received his signature , and became a law. Therefore - fore , in the view of Mr. Russell , it was distinctively a democratic measure , and Mr. Blaine is entitled to no credit whatever in connection with the con gress. ' Doubtless Mr , Russell states correctly the history of the measure providing for the congress , but it docs not in the least degree militate against the claim made in behalf of Mr. Blaino. The truth is that the democratic house of representatives , in passing the bill providing for the Amer ican conference , and tlio * demo cratic president , in signing it , bimply gave tardy acknowledgment of the wis- uom and expediency of a project which Mr. Blaine seven years before , us sec retary of state in the administration of President Cardold , had proposed , and which at that time the democratic lead ers without exception denounced as a scheme whloh would ondungor the peace ot the country. This outcry against the proposal of Mr. Blaine , shared in , it must bo admitted , by some timid re publican capitalists , unquestionably was the most potent influ ence in inducing President Arthur to discountenance the project , and it will hardly bo questioned that this hostile action of a republican administration had an effect unfavorable to Mr. Blainc when hu became a candidate for the presidency. But the idea had taken deep root in thd public mind , nnd de liberation upon it developed its wis dom ami the far-reaching states manship that prompted it. Tuo appre hension of exciting European hos tility vnnishod under the argu ment , every year growing stronger , which demonstrated the necessity of cultivating larger anil closer commer- pial relations with the other Americas , and it was only when the feeling ii ; favor of an international American conference had become almost univor- al that the democrats in congress came to the support of the idea. Anu even after the bill providing for the con gross bocnmo a law , everybody knows that Mr. Cleveland and Ills secretary of tale did as little as possible to fur ther the object ot the measure , hawing ns plainly as men in their position could that they were not friendly to the project. All , hoj- did was of the most perfunctory character , nnd calculated , if not de signed , to discourage the conference. The idea of a I'au-Ainoricnn con gress did not originate with Mr. Blaino. It was suggested more than a quarter of a century before ho came into public ife. But tlio credit of preparing the way for the conference that will moot n Washington next mouth is undeni ably his , is rccognikod by the foreign lolcgalcs , and no amount of cavil or counter claims can iloprlvo him ot it. SYMPATI1YFKOM A iVJJII'QUAKT.fcn. Tlio penitentiary organ at Lincoln uis come to the rescue ot Sheriff. Co- jurn. It ridicules the point raised by THIS Bun with regard to the tender care nnd attention botowcd by the slier- ( ton John Lauor and the Beoohlor- [ Cing woman in tlio following fashion : As It happened tbnt those two pHsonors were acquitted by tlio Jury , it Is possible tlmt tno people of Douglas county are not BUffer- ng in their minds because the nhorllT , with out drawing on the treasury of the county , allowed tlicm some little alleviations of tlioir ail faro at the expense of their friends. It has generally been understood that an accused person Is to bo considered Innocent lutil proven guilty nml that their detention n jull is for safety and not for punishment , und that they are entitled to such lonlont .rcatmout while Incarcerated to await trial as may bo consistent with the strict obliga tion of the sheriff to keep them In custody. As usual , the organ of the peniten tiary/bosses exhibits dense ignorance In dealing with Omaha affairs. John Lauor did not return to the sheriff's custody after ho was acquitted. His so journ in the jail was during the period following the shooting of Mrs. Latter us an imagined burglar , ilo had boon tried by ono jury and found guilty ot manslaughter. A man convicted of murder in the second degree is not sup posed to bo innocent while , in the cus tody of the sheriff. Least of all is ho expected to bo given the freedom of the jail nnd placed in charge of the jailor's books and have supervision over the other pri&onors , most of whom were only charged with potty offenses. As to the Boochlor-King woman and her carriage rides while under grave suspicion that she had killed a man the less said the bettor. AN 1XSULT i'O T1IK 1'KESS. The managers ot the Y. M. C. A. convention , which is now in session in tills city , have exhibited a very narrow- minded spirit in dealing with the press. This is a metropolitan city , and not a mere village wlioro money has to bo subscribed to enable n local paper to publish the proceedings of a conven tion. tion.Tho The very , building in which the con vention has assembled is a monumental proof of the un&tintod liberality of the Omaha press toward the Y. M. C. A. The publishers of all the established dailies have contributed not only in advertising space and unpurchas- able editorial appeals for contribu tions to the building fund , but also have planked down their money individually both to the build ing fund and , for the maintenance of the institution. Tn contrast with this generous spirit , thb secretary has taken it upon himself to single out one of the Omaha dailies for special favors and a peddler of thia paper has boon given the monopoly of the convention floors , while other news papers hnvo bcen insolently refused in- fortn'ation concerning the make-up of delegations. , If the directors of tho' Y. M. C. A , approve this narrow-minded and un- christian-lilco proceeding , they have struck a blow at the growth of the association in this state which they cannot counteract by any quantity of tracts and ofllcial circulars. Wo say this not because wo care n straw about the olllcial Y. M. C. A. organ or its possible influence in super- seeling TIIK BEK anywhere with nny class of pooplo. Wo simply resent the course pursued us an insult to the Omaha press , which Is capable of pub lishing all the news without bonuses or a guaranty of papers to bo sold or cir culated. TIIK success of .the St. Louis exposi tion furnishes an example of what well- directed enterprise and business man agement will accomplish. Every year has added to its popularity as an exhi bition. This year it was onen for forty days and the attendance averaged four teen thousand a day. Aside from its advantages ns an advertisement of the industries of the city and an attraction for visitors , it has been profit able for the exhibitors. Goods to the value of a quarter of a million dollars were sold on the floor for cash and con tracts closed for about half a million dollars worth of machinery and other articles on exhibition. What the exposition has accomplished for St. Louis can bo duplic ated on a smaller sealo in Omaha. Kncrgotlu , intelligent management with ample capital , can makenn annual exhibition in this city not only nn at traction for people living within a ra dius of two hundred miles , but prove a profitable investment for the stockhold ers nnd the exhibitors. This fact was demonstrated by the Coliseum exposi tion. By increasing its scope nnd add ing now nnd taking features , it will prove an increasing source of pleasure and profit to all classes. Mn. Wir-LiAM E. Cuit'i'lfi , who ac companies the Pnn-Amorlcaiv delegates on their tour as the special reprobontn- tlvo of the state department , is ono of the best known journalists in the coun- Jry. His peculiar fitness for his pres ent duty is in the fact that ho has a very thorough knowledge ol the polit ical nnd commercial affairs of the coun tries that will bo represented in the three Americas congress , ho having heon a member of the commission whloh visited South America in 16S1 to inves tigate commercial relations between the United States ana the countries of the southern continent. The elaborate report of that commission was largely the work of Mr. Curtis , nnd his obser vations ofWii political and social Ufo of the countries visited were perma nently redftWlod in n , volume replete with instr'f { | tivo and interesting information mation , Ilnis undcratdod that Mr. Curtis will , bb the secretary of the international - tornational , pgngross. demand and decreased ore produc.tiojra have caused a sharp ad vance in stool r.xils and llko commodl tics. Durjhjjj the present month price * have advanced from twenty-four to thirty dollars per ton , and the tendency is toward higher prices. It is a signifi cant fact that the English ore market has ndvauccd in sympathy with the American mnrkot , TljK manufacturers nnd growers of wool have practically united on a planet ot campaign on congress for an increase in the tariff. These patriots forrovcjiuo only are not likely to succeed. The country is emphatically for revision and reduction on hues whiuh iu&uro the greatest good for the greatest number , without Injuring any. OTIIER LANDS THAN The political situation In Franco Is not al together harmonious , and future develop ments will bo regarded With great Interest. It IB assumed that the first ministry consti tuted after the assembling of the chamber will , llko the Tirard cabinet , consist partly of opportunists nnd partly ot radicals , and that Its tenure ot ollco ( will bo precarious and brief. The same thing may bo predicted of a coalition between the conservatives nnd the moderate republicans. It Is not for the in * tcrcst of the right on the ono baud or of the extreme loft upon the other , that the present chamber should live out its legal term. By suclra prolongation of the present state of things M. Ferry would gain , but the Cointo do Paris nnd M. Clemonccau would both have much to lose. The latter can never bo prime minister tinxtl the rVullnals form the prepond erant clement of thn republican forces in the lower house , and the Bourbon pretender cannot become king until the French pcoplo nro convinced tlmt a stable republican government Is Impossible. To dissolve the new chamber , however , xvlll require the Initiative of President Carnet nnd the assent ot the senate. As a ma jority of the senators nro opportunists , and as the chief magistrate is believed to bo much Influenced by M. Jules Perry , it will provo dlfllcult to secure another general election against the lattor's will. But the expedient which ho invented nnd applied to President Grevy can bo turned against his friend. J'ho extreme left and the right cau force M. Carnet to submit or to resign by overthrowing successively every ministry unwilling to dissolve the chamber. A French republic , stiki , Tillers , can only last upon condition of'being conservative. Some four teen yours have'passed since the dissolution of the Versailles assembly , and the number of conservative members of the present chamber of J"Hei > mles is exactly fifty. It seems that this inevitable drift of things In Franco under' republican institutions is to ward radicalism , and that the alternatives presented to the French people are aJucobin regime or a monarchy. Hut whenever Franco has clearly rpcc gnizcd that it uuistdccldo between thesoi extremes , it has never hesi tated to chooflu the latter. It docs not love monarchy , bui'-it abhors the memory of the convention amTthe days of ' 93. > ' l > I , * * The scene ot royal and Imperial junket ings has been shifted from Berlin to Athens. 'Iho marriage of Princess Sophia of Prussia to the Dulto of Sparta , which takes place to-day , has brought together in the caoital of Greece a uotablo assemblage. Empress Frederick accompanies her daughter to Corinth , nnd quidnuncs will bo busy In glvlnir a political turn to all possible incidents relating to It. In deed , the fact that the Emperor William will go to Bucharest and Constantinople iu the course of the same tour may well oxrito speculation us to the bearings of the visit on International questions. The Greeks are said to bo already preparing to utilize the marriage of their crown prince with the sister of the German emperor by asking the latter to Interfere somehow ( n Crete , nnd the Bulgarians are rather uneasy. It is likely that anything of a political character which may bo done by the emperor In Athens or Constantinople has already been settled in Berlin. The approachlne tour in its inter national aspects may even have been ono ot tbo subjects of the conference with the czar. . f. Koports are current tbnt the prince of AValcs is in poor and declining health. It Is stated on good authority that his ailment is Brlght's disease , tlmt it has incurably fas tened itself upon him , nnd that there is no probability he can live much over a year longer. The queen , on the other hand , ap pears to bo a robust old lady , enjoying bettor health than for some years. In all probabil ity she will outlive the prince of Wales , but in the natural order of tblngs her career must como to nn end shortly , as she is now past seventy years of ago. Assuming that the prince cannot live longer ttmn the time allotted him , as the penalty of idle , luxuri ous , lazy , enervating habits , when the queen passes owny the crown will como to Albert Victor , the princo'u eldest son , now In his twenty-fifth year. The outlook cannot bo a gratifying ono to the English people , if these reports are true. Albert Victor is a weak ling , mentally nnd physically. Heredity , not through his parents , but dating farther bncx , has atUlcted Him with results of the vices nnd weaknesses of some of his Guolph ancestors. His popular name of "collars and cuds" Is n term of ridicule growing out of his efforts to conceal his physical Impov erishment , which Is on a par with his mental conditions. Hp\i' long will the bluff and sturdy English people tolerate such a weak ling us their rule .t lly the time ho comes to the throne some' vital issues will have been raised ny the people , the premonitions of which have } otiig' , been oppa'ront , Already they urc asklngjUiomselves how much longer they will consent to have thirty or forty thousand Idlo'fMiuocratlc families own three- tourths of the land , and not only the land but the croumlnSuts In cities. ' ' ' . % ' - ' " Curios I. whoa The new kln'g-"of Portugal. , a few weeks nbo'coinpleted his twenty-sixth year , comes \ ' ho throne not unprepared , thn invalid condj/lo" / of his father having for some time causod'moro ' and moro ofllcial re sponsibilities to bo placed upon nlm. The little kingdom,1 , too , has now few causes ot disturbance or anxiety abroad or at home. Her chief colonial troubles are In South Africa , and these nro likely to bo quickly settled , the rivalry of her two strong neigh bors , Germany and England , furnishing , pcrliaus , a guarantee that she will flud nid in defending bnr rights. Yet the accession of a new monarch must cause some specula tion as to Its effect. Tlio twenty-eight years' trauqullity which Portugal had under Kins Luis f. was largely duo to his observance of constitutional principles , willingness to ( fnvoi reforms , and lack of disposition to seek personal prominence ut the expense of the peace of the kingdom. Still , even under him theru wcro some exciting political crises , nnd for n long time a continuation of the financial embarrassments and disorders which liait boon Inherited from his predo- 'J'ho prooabllltlos are that no great changes In Portugal's domestic or foreign nTuIrs ( ncod immediately bo expected. * The spread ot republicanism in Brazil Is mnklnj ? dtich rapid progress that the Im perial family hat determined to submit to n plebiscite the vital question ns to whether or not the pcoplo dc.slro nn abolition of the monarchy. In a public nddrcss at Pornnm- buco the other d.ty the Count d'Eu , who U generalissimo of the army and husband of the crown princess , solemnly declared on behalf of his father-in-law , Dom Pedro , nnd In the nnmo ot his wife nml children , that the entire Imperial family was prepared to sur render thn throne nnd leave Brazil ns soon as the nation bad by popular vote oxprosiod Us dostro for a republic In lieu of a inon iirnby. This is surely an unprecedented action for a monarch to take , but ono ot which Dom Pedro Is qulto capable. Pnrn- doxlcal though It may npponr , the republican party is composed of nil the former con servatives. All the great , landed proprietors , manufacturers nnd directors of Industrial enterprises belong thereto , being omblttorod ngnlnst the dynasty for having crippled their fortunes nnd their resources by decreeing the sudden nbohtlon of slavery last year without compensation to the slave owners. The monarchical party Is exceedingly small In number und restricted In influence. It Is composed almost entirely ot government functionaries nml freed slaves. * Hard up for money as Sultan Abdul Humid , of Turkey , often finds himself , ho al ways tins the wherewithal to make lavish presents. Ills cooks may go oa a strike for their wages , his soldiers may refuse to 1 > o mustorcd nut at the end of their enlistment because they hnvo not received their back pay , but diamond necklaces nnd diadems and sword hilt , sot with precious gems are none the less abundant as evidences of the wealth of their imperial * master. What makes the vnluablo presents Intended for the Uormau emperor and empress on their visit to'Con- stantliioplc the moro remarkable is that only a little while ago ttio.y bad received most costly gifts from the sultan. Whether Em peror William will bo placated by this gener osity remains to bo scon. Contrary rumors nro'now rlto in regard , to Prince Bismarck's eastern policy , some representing it to bo nn endeavor to persuade the czar recognize Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria , while others would have him persuading Austria to con sent to his overthrow. That young ruler has been enjoying Paris quite regardless of what may bo dona at Soda although mean while taking precautions against nsjasslim- tion during his travels , like the czar himself. The sultan is much less concerned , proba bly , about Emperor William's views of Bul garia than about the arguments that will bo addressed to him at Athens In behalf of Crete and Armenia. * Knlser Wilhchn is not contented with the imperial crowns his grandparents were nnd which date no further back than 1ST2 , and so is having new ones made for himself and the empress. His is to weigh three pounds and to have a huge sapphire at the top nnd to contain 109 diamonds. His wife gets no sapphire , but has some 1,500 diamonds nnd cloven unusually largo pearls. Konlgsberg has pricked tip her cars at the news of these diadems , and begins again to nurse hopes that William will conio to thai undent royal city to bo crowned , as all his ancestors liavo done. If any plans , however , bavo been formed for a coronation ceremony they nro very closely guarded. AN ADDKlSSS To Voters in Favor of a Noii-t'artiHiui Judiciary , A't a well attended meeting of lawyers fav orable to the candidacy of Mr. Clarkson for judge , at which weropresent A. J. Popplcton , George B. Lake , John P. Brcon , Georijo F. Brown. John D. Howe , J. II. Blair. E. W. Whipplo , W. M. Gilder , W. D. McHugh , W. O. Bartholomew , J. J. O'Connor and others , It was resolved to prepare un address to the electors of this district on the merits of the present .contest , which committee was ap pointed and on the 23d day of October , 1SS& , reported to nn adjourned meeting tbo follow ing nddrcss. which was unanimously ndoptcd nnd ordered published. M. D. HYDE , fcc. To the Elector of the Third Judicial Dis trict : The importance of elevating the bench' above the si rife and wrangle of partisan pol itics need nol bo urged upon you. Two years aero you gave expression to your sentiments upon the subject in the most emphatic man ner. You elected four judges who command ed the confidence- nil classes. They adorned the bench. Wo have been able to point all the world to them , with ab solute pride. They stand for the nonpartisan - partisan principle , which , it was earn estly hoped , had been triumphantly es tablished in this judicial district. A reprehensible attempt Is now being inado to overthrow it. VVnether it shall stand or fall , is the momentous issuo. That the highest standard of excellence for the fu ture , ns well ns tfio present , is moro likely to bo obtained by withdrawing the ofllco of judge from the unseemly and discreditable strife nnd contention of party primaries , conventions and politics , is not now an open question nmoiit , ' people most interested in the integrity und honor of the bench. We , being Inspired by the gravity of the situation , dosii-o to place the following statement before you , to correct certain er rors that interested partisans are indus triously circulating , unit to influence you to cordially xupport Joseph 1C , Cmrkuon , who stands for the non-partisan principuagnliist ! H. J. Davis , who stands for its overthrow. Mr. Clarkson is thlrty-flvo years of ago , ho has nrnctlccd for thirteen years , und boon at the Omaha bar for ten years. Hu is an honorable and capable lawyer. Mr. Davis is thirty years ot ago and has practiced for lx years. Before Judge Oroff hnd In fact resigned , nnd buloro the pcoplo had had an opportunity to consider the question of a successor , cer tain nnthuslastlo younjr men , friends of Mr. Davis , Industriously sot to work to forestall public sentiment and to "commit" ( as it is culled ) ns many to tils Interests as possible. This was after the manner of professional politicians , too often scon in cases of the death or resignation of public ofllclaU. These friends of Davis thereupon sot to work to sccuro n bar meeting , expecting to obtain Its endorsement of Mr. Davis. A bar meeting was called. This was nn appeal in behalf of Mr. Davis to the nonpartisans to BClcct him for their choice. Ho was then placed ns the representative of the nonpar- tlsan principle. Over two hundred law yers met nt the court house upon n call published in the newspaporfl. If , as has heon assorted by interested parlies , any attorneys of the counties of Hurt. Washington and Swrpy , wore not properly notified , it was largely tbo fault of Mr. Davis' friends. Wo do not think , however , that tnero is Juht ground of complaint on this account , beiMUxa tno call was very widely published nnd per sonal notice to members of the bar was not attempted , nor to bo reasonably expected. Kparly nil the leading members of the bar were present. No clusn of citizens can bo found who nro moro ardently or sincerely in favor of u high , honorable und spotless Ju diciary than these sterling lawyers who Imvo stood for EO many years in the front ranks of our best citizenship. And generally , it maybe bo said ot the whole bar. that it was in full sympathy with the endeavor to keep the bunch iij ) to its present elevated standard. Wo believe the bar is moro IIholy to niuno a worthy candidate than n partisan convention , especially In vluvv of the deplorable foot that only a few of our citizens iittond the primaries , or conventions , or work nt the polls. Our meinbai- shlp represents all classes , high and low , rich and poor , und all sides of till quoitluns. Tlio bar is brought directly into contact with the courts ; it represents the whole litigat ing public. Wo have superior advantage * * for becoming acquainted with the morita of Judces and lawyers. Mho thrco principal candidates before the bar meeting In question and thulr strength mi shown by the balloting , were ( Jlaruaon Unit , Kfctollo second , and Davis third. After auvor.il ballot * , every ono of which placed Davis third , It bccamaovldont that the nom ination would go to either ClarKBon or Ks- tulle , und thereupon Mr , Davis1 friends with * ilrow his nnmo. Mr. Clnrkson was nomin ated. It was nppnront that Mr. Davis' friends were sorely disappointed , ( ttark- son's nomination \VM mnuo unanimous , Mr. Clnrkson appeared nnd In good faith no- coptod the nomination. Suraly , ho had the right to believe that ho would Imvo the sup port of nil present nt the meeting , nil of whom had joined In nsklnghlm to accept the nomination. It was bollovcd by the bnr that Davis and his fttonds would gracefully sub mit to the decision of the body to which they had appealed , and would stand by the nonpartisan - partisan principles which thov had cham pioned .and committed themselves to ; and , Indeed , o they professed to do. Whilethcso friends of Davis nro among tlio most esteemed young men of the bnr , it Is bollovcd that their nrdorwni such ns to reconcile them to nny contingency that might arlso which would onnblo thorn to overcome defeat. That they will , la their cooler mo ments , regret this attempt to overthrow the non-pnrtlsnn principle nnd n nomination fnlrly inndo , no ono who respects them cn- tortnlns n doubt. Alter the meeting , the matter was gener ally regarded by thn bar as settled. No ono drcnmud tlmt any attorney who hnd been present and participated In It , would listen to n suggestion to ncccpt n nomination for Judge ngnlnst the choicu tlmt nnd been honorably orablymade. . * Mr.Kstcllo publicly announced that ho felt In honor bound to nbldo the re sult nml declined to allow his nnmo to > o used by partisan conventions. In this hu commended himself to our respect , Some time later , the republican convention met. It was with profound astonishment and elm' grin that our best citizens learned that Mr. Davis , who as n young man of promise hail enjoyed tbolr esteem , had allow ed the politicians to pcrsuiulo him to accept the nomination against the choice of n largo nnd certainly very respectable moot ing which his fnnmls had boon chiefly In- strummital In calling In hl behalf , to which ho had submitted his claims , nnd ns the re sult of which hnd received the unanimous sanction of all present , including Davis and his friends. Wo are constrained to say that ho stood for the nonpurtlsan principle until his personal ambition was thwarted , but now ho aspires to tno bench by standing In direct opposition thereto. Wo are reluctant to say that wo bollava It Is the uniform opinion of all candid , think ing citizens , that Mr. Davis was not free to accept tbo nomination. His apologists say that he acted In weakness nnd nothing worso. Wo arc anxious to do him no wrong and leave you to form your own conclusions. If Mr. Davis aspires to servo as district judge n delay of two years , under the cir cumstances , doubtless would Imvo strength ened him in the respect und confidence of both bar nnd pcoplo. It has been erroneously stated that Mr , Davis was the second choice of the meeting. The fact Is , ho was the third. It has boon stated , also , that Mr. Clarkson at the outset pledged himself to support Mr. Davis. This is n mcro political handle , a "fake , " without substantial foundation. At the time In question , which was so early In the history of the matter that It lias ro- colvcd no general consideration , ho simply stated that if Mr. Smith was not a candi date , Mr. Davis would bo bis second choice , meaning ( as must have been well under stood ) of these who had boon so far named for the ofllco. It is surely straining the facts to claim that , when Mr. Clarkson's friends insisted upon his becoming n candi date , ho bad barred himself by n nlndgo. It is hardly necessary to note farther that a considerable number of lawyers , whoso llrst choice was Davis. Imvo refused to SUD- port him ns n candidate opposed to the choice of tin ) meeting. The question now Is , what is our dutv ns electors ? Shall wo support Mr. Davis as a partisan nominee , throwing the erection of tha judiciary Into tlio deplorable strife of partisan primaries , conventions nnd politics ; or , shall wo support Mr. Clurkson , whose record is clear nnd honorable , who is admit tedly qualified for the position , by his learn ing nnd ability , whoso conduct throughout has boon straightforward mid above ro- proacli , standing , as he docs , for a nonpartisan san judiciary ) Tbo people cannot bo too jealous ot the honor of the bench , or too zealous m endeav oring to elevate it , to keep it pure ami un spotted , and its judges independent and im partial. We , member of the bar.confidontly believe that you will cordially endorse this senti ment nnd join us iu the purpose to elect Mr. Clarkson to succeed Judge Groff. [ Signed. ] A. J.
