the odium of being tax-gatherers for the Judges
and they will bear it no longer The public de-

Such men are offered to them rs candidates by the
Wings Their candidates have not been selected
merely because they are Wings, nor for their polt
cal services but solely with view TO their fitness
for the stations to which they have been nominated
Mr.. Romano, one of the nominees for the su-
preme Court, is gentleman of honor and integrity,
of fine legal requirements, long and iavorably
known in this City, where he was born and bred.
He was Speaker of the Assembly as early as ls2l'
and has been ever since favorably known to the
bile as an able and respectable lawyer
Mr. Paine is a lawyer of distinguished ability,
who principally wrote book of Practice shortly
after the adoption of the Revised Statutes, called
Paine and Duer's He has for some years past
been mostly employed in the L. S. Courts He Is
in every respect worthy OF the Office TO which he
is nominated
Levi Beardsley was long Senator Of our State
and distinguished member of the Court Of Errors.
He has not been many years in the City, having
removed here from Otsego County but as his nom
ination is for State office, this can be considered
no objection to him.
Judge Lynch is too well known TO need any euio-
ey at our hands. He has been Judge OF the Ses
sions and no ore question his ability. Ills po
tica opponents refused to pay his salary, and were
sued individually for penalties for their refusal
They were defeated, and in spite Of the Veto o
Mayor Mickle, the Corporation saddled the suit
with the whole debt and costs recovered aeains
| them for their violation Of law upon the City.
For the Superior Court the names Of John Duer
Hiram P. Hastings and d. P. Hall are presented
IL is no disparagement to their opponents TO say
that taken together, they present larger amour
of legal capacity than the candidates OF the othe
party. And they have the advantage OF being new
and uncontamnated by the Odd rotten system G

The candidates for the Common Pleas are a
most unexceptionable. J. l.. Mason, F. c. Benz
dict and A. w Bradford are certainly superior
legal capacity TO the old Judges, and far more FIRE
from judicial rapacity for fees If the Wings d
their duty they will be triumphanty elected o
