Delegates TO tho Convention-Judgc HertteII.

bands IN order to select candidates to represent
city IN the convention, which is TO revise the Con-
stitution of our State next June, and as you have
named several persons In the Herald, will you al

list The Judge Is unaspiring man, and will not
put himself forward but not the less worthy and
Wen qualified on that account As important. and
much needed amendments will be brought forward,
the judiciary being OF great Importance and as Judge

matters, and how conducted, &c, lac is thereby
qualified to be very useful in proposing such needed

has no interest In continuing the legal forms and
technicalities in many, il not all the statutes.
