USome Of the Political papers
make the beast, that al! Of the Demo
cratic caucus nominations for District
Judges were elected. The Data in
speaking of the election says
The election of judges did not
give much satisfaction to the friends Of
the election system A great mass Of
the voters. including our most respec.
table citizens, remained away from
the polls-many not taking the trou.
bic to vote-whilst the whole election
seemed to be under the management,
Of. a set Of electioneering employees
and Of class who could not be pre-
sumed to have very deep interest in
the administration of justice. All the
offensive and repugnant ACCOMPANY
ments of political election marked
the contest. There was no sense OF
the dignity and importance of the con-
test-its superiority over the ordinary
party and political elections Of the
day-manifested by the gangs who
hung about the polls, and appeared to
be the only persons who felt any in
terest in the result.
