JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

In New York the following nominations for judges
of the supreme court have been made by the demo
cratic party.
LIST dstrict-Daniel p. Ingraham, long term Josiah
Sutherland short term.
I'd distrct-John w. Brown, long term John A.
Lott, short term. a..a r.H.... .ae
Sd district-Rufus W. Peckham, long term Danforth
X. Olney, short term.
4th distrct--Alonzo c. Paige. ... ........ .....
9Th Observation-Disclosures w Hubbard .....s -.s.
9th district Robert Parker. .r.-H
It'll district-Georgc Hastings
Sth distrct--John Ganson long term L. W. ThayeY,
short term. .."
These nominations command the respect not only
of the democratic party, but of very many honest,
independent who belong to other organizations.
AS their merits entitle them to it, we cannot doubt
that these gentlemen will be triumphantly elected.
We have no personal acquaintance with any of them.
Our recollection is that Judge ngraham has been most
creditaby connected with the Judiciary in the city Of
New York. Judge Paige is now serving second
term, and has been in the court of appeals, where
his ability, learning, and industry secured him very
high position. He is esteemed one of the most able
and worthy of the New York legal profession. Judge
Brown has secured an enviable reputation pro-
found and incorruptible jurist. His opinions rank
high in judicial literature and that given upon the
nine million canal bill will compare favorably with
the best productions of Blackstone. Within the last
year or two we have listened with great pleasure
several clear and profound arguments of Mr.. Ganson
in the Supreme Court of the United States, which
induced us to rank him among the ablest urists Of
the day. We also remember to have heard an argu-
rnent upon dry legal question by Mr.. Peckham
= l.
clear and accurate knowledge of sundry nice ques-
tons of law. He made very dry question quite in
terestng to us outsiders. While such men are nom
mated and elected to seats upon the supreme bench,
there can be no doubt concerning the policy of an
elective judiciary. This is the second third time
when the names Of Messrs. Ingraham Paige, and
Brown have been before the people for election
They have been an honor to the bench as will be
their associates upon the ticket, and prove beyond
controversy that an elective judiciary is not only
safe, but wise and prudent. We cannot doubt that
the intelligence of the several judicial districts will
be manifested in their election To this catalogue
wo should add the name of DEMO, nominated for the
court of appeals, whose integrity and ability are
above question, and whose success cannot be doubt
ed although he differed from some of his friends
upon particular question. Those who count upon
his failure upon this account will be grievously dis
appointed in the result of the coming election

OHIO ELECTION.

Statesman of last TUESDAYS issue


We copy the following from the Columbus (Ohio)
Statesman Of last Tuesdays issue
GAS soon as we have all the official returns shall
briefly review the position of the parties in Ohio and
blow up the miserable humbug by which the Journal
seeks hide the huiatng situation in which the cleo
ton has placed Governor Chase Meantime let no one
RELY upon its assertions TO the majority throws cut
two hundred votes poed by the democracy in Stark
county and have good reason to believe that in the
absence of official returns 1t cuts down democratic MAORI
ties by vague guesses and in other instances because
some man heard another man tell somebody something
upon the cars. The fact is, Mr.. Chase is elected by
about votes cast by negroes against the
constitution and in violation Of law. The democracy
have twenty senators to fifteen republicans and also
good majority in the house. We hope this democratic
legislature will pass law making it crime punishable
with ten years in the penentiary for any judge OF
election knowingly to receive the votes of any but white
male citizens. XVI
The Cleveland Plain Dealer of the same day says

with that sort of regret which feels when
calamity which has been foreseen and predicted is

That is a terrible calamity :; but it is the verge

i. The Commercial goes on to say
THE recent defeats in other States of the republican
candidates are ominous Of what is to happen in New
York The that operated in Ohio, Pennsylvania
Iowa, and Minnesota are not the only influences at

tone of the republican organs The Weed and Seward

And finally, the same paper says
Any support given to the party of free soil is but
brandy given to already in the embrace OF death

That is striking illustration The republicans
will understand IL, They have the ''tremens' now
