Tho time is drawing near when the voters of this will failed upon to te for some person to sit upon tho bench ed our couits for the next t'n years.
that perse best fitted and qualified to liii this high aud honorable is, is a question that every voter should take into the most serious -considerati n. Every person, it seems to me, possessing an ordinary degree of intelligence, would certainiy want to see tho most competent man elected to such an high and trustworthy position unless they ware completely blinded by partisan prejudice. The office of a Judge of the courts is something that thould bo Pfted from the mire of partisan polities altogether. It is too ennobling iu its character to be assim-ula'ed with or made a part of such a nar-rorr, contracted school. A judge is the umpire of ah parlies, and as such he shouid know neither one or the other.
Ali parties therefore, unite to secure the best quai'ilcd pt vson ta 'ill this place of public trust one that will carry iu it nil the prerequisites that are. necessary to grace with honor and dignity. The very able manner in which rheso essentials have been displayed for the last ten yv.rs is perlaps without a parallel in the i-tory of oar couit hence the great do-ire of the best men of ail parties was to continue the present incumbent in cilice, and when he failed to receive the nomination at the hands of a partisan convention it was looked upon as a great calamity by all right thinking people. The next step to be taken then in order to avert this calamity was to induce him to consent to his name being used as an independent candidate, which he finally consented todo. His subs qaent withdrawal, from the eanvess was receiver by hts many frleLds with profound regret.
Trie nxt step was to ind another, fitted and qualified to take his phice. That or.e has been brought before us for our consideration (as the next test man) in the pereon of James W. Latimer, lha People's candidate. He is presentei to us without any solicitation on his part by the very same committee of gentlemen that urged Judge Wickes ta run as an independent candidate. He, comes to us indorsed by the best men of ali parties as eminently fitted and qualiOei in es'ery way to fill with honor the judicial seat.
What then is our duty in the premises? It seems to me to be a very plain one. We ought to be consistent at least. We ought to be to our convictions of right. Therefore to be true and consisted we ought to give our undivided support to Mr. Latimer from the fact taat he stands precisely where Judge, Wickes stood prior to his withdrawal from the canvass, and is therefore fully entitled to receive our sup.
