Judges of the supreme Court.


We discover there is misapprehenson in the
public mind in regard the election of Judges Of the
Supreme Court. Some suppose each district only
for its own Judge; while others suppose that the eec
tors in the State for 70 Judges without regard
location in districts Voters should inform themselves
correctly this point their votes may be lost Ev-
cry voter in the State may vote for four Judges but
he vote for but in single distrct and if he
should vote for il district he would throw away
his vote. or example no voter can vote for Stewart
and Howe, for Dawson and Dewey, and SO on Each
of the four for whom he votes must reside in diff
ferent district. And would suggest the press
publishing the ticket tide head of their papers. de-
sgnate the district in which each candidate resides as
may prevent confusion. We have corrected our own
accordingly
