NomInniion ofJndre Kcnnon.

The Ssatsszsaa ssys:-we have hefetoiore
published ,ths proceedings Of the Dsmoeratie
Consention Of the eight judicial district ID
which WILLIAM KESsoS, sr., was unanimous
ly nominated for Judge Of the Common Pleas.
As the nomination IS tantAmount to 81 election
we may congratulate the people and the bar OF
the districtsupon the fact, that they will have
the services of one ofthe wisest, most learned,
careful and impartial Judges that ever sat upon
the bench in this State. A man in that posi-
ton who is competent jurist, and enjoys the
full confidence Of the community among whom
he presides as Invaluable to its true interests.
His decisions commoaly content if not convince
those against whom they are rendered. Thus
protracted litigation is avoided, and disputes
among neighbors are speedily allayed. This
may seem Incompatible with the interests OF
the lawyers. 1t is a common notion, that it Is
to their advantage that law suits should be in
tcrminablc; but he who is really master Of his
profession makes great deal more money and
reputation out Of short suits, quickly ripened
fruits, than he does out Of Those which impov-
erish the clients on both Sides by un,omnon
duration With the pettifosger and blockhead
it is altogether different, and these are invari-
ably opposed to the elevation OF such men as
Judge KExNox to the bench. BY such men The
muddy stream Of chicane and evasion, out or
which they fish their prey, is damned very
near its source, and diverted Into purifying
channel
A correspondent ofthe Statesman, writing
from GAINESVILLE, says:-I had almost forgotten
to say that Judue KENNoN, our nominee for
additional Judge Of Court C Common Pleas in
this judicial district, is considered the very man
for the pia e. Ii is a nomination eminently
eft to be made" ..s. ..
The Noble County Democra! says;-Wc have
the pleasure O announcing that Judge hENNoN
OF Belmont county, has consented to be a can
didate for Common Pleas Judge in this District
Full Of years. and full ofhonors, he has for
sometime been enjoying private life, and has
no disposition to emerge from it unless at the
urgent calls OF his fellow citizens. Those who

vigorous manner ofdoing business, to hear his
terse and cogent charges, his weiShty, punsent
rulings, and to see the accutencss almost a.
mounting to intuition, with which concentrated
intellect tore away from fraud the semblance
of truth when in years gone by he occupied the
bench-will hail with enthusiastic delight, the
announcement that til IS upright, able, fearless
judge is soon again to be the arbiter ofther for
| tunes,
Oar object is nat to praise Judge kENNoS--
no pen can do that--but to call the attention oi
the voters of the District to the fact that be IS
candidate: and to record the high opinion en-
tertained ofhim by the people OF the entire
State. In weight OF character no man exceIS
him; in cearness Of argument, in liquid, linn
pid, simple statement, in massive power OF ar
gument, no man who has ever occupied place
in the Judiciary of Ohio, is superior to him; and
when, to these qualifications, we add tact and
firmncss and courtesy Of department and Q
wonderful iondness for his profession, all o
which he possesses, no one will deny that ifelec'
ted he will be an ornament to his position and
AL honor to his constituency.
