seems to bo the logical candidate
for Judge In the Sixth Judicial district
to flll the vacancy caused by the death of

very favorable toward him. Mr. Albert was
appointed by Governor Holcomb one year
889 to fl" the unexplred term of Judge Sul
livan when he was elected to the supreme
bench. He was relieved when Hollenbeclc
of Fremont was elected In November last , ;
Mr. Albert not being a candidate. It U bo-
lloved now that the appointment will be
