But there is another view OF subject it is
thought by some. that if you let the Judge

not be so much objection to giving the elec-

Judge should be. would VIC not be running
great risk to give that selection to those who

The greatest objection il we change the
mode Of election. is this, political feeling.
and party prejudice would have too much to
do with il. We are decidedly in favor Of
making politics The test for all political Offices.
but there are some offices that are mol poll
fical, some places into which they should
never enter. We think our courts Of justice
one OF those places. yea, Of all others the
very place that should be free iron such
feelings. To the everlasting praise and
credit of the Legislature. they never have al

object is the public good. Ii is almost a new
