SUPPOSED STOLEN IloRsE.-Sunday
mornin,, early, y young man abour "a Or rs

TnE VACANT SEAT on THE SUPREME
BrScu-In our Saturdays issue we men,
toned the fact that lion John F. Dillon vas IN
applicsus for the seat on the Supreme Bench
made vacant by the death Of the lsmented
Stockton.
We are informed that he is pushing his
claims with his accustomed energy. We learn
he has petition In circulation recommending
him to Gov. Kirkwood IS y suitable p rsou TO
fill the vacancy. to which he has obtained the
signature Of many members Of the Bar seve-
raj Of them being prominent Democrats. We
q. s.prehend that the Recommendation OF any as
pirAnt by Democratic pol liticiaus will have lit
tie weight with so thorough a partisan as Gov
Kirk wood, and the only effect such ecommsn-
dation can have il to make political capital for
the person recommend ed hy furnishing him
with the endorsement If his political orpo-
nents when he runs tor some Office. in the fu.
ture. To the foregoing remarks it may be OBJ
jected that We look upon the jadsship from a
political stand point. That l. true The Ju-
dietary Of the State Of Iowa consists of gang
Of roit cisns. and we want no better proof Of
that fao' than that Gov. Kirk wool instead of
selecting . successor to Judge Stockton With
single eye to fines aud capabiIity and with
out regard to politics will choose that man
whose appointment he tiinks will beet satisfy
the politicians Of HE party. HJvhn F. Dillon
happens to be In the right locality and sat,sfac-
tory Ia other respects to the uolti lane, he will
receive the appointment. though it should be
deuonMra,ed TO the Governor that J.s Grant
Col Whitaker. Judge Bennett, Mr. True or
Judge Mitchell are better qualified than he.
A. Tor ourtelv.s we are heartily tired Of max
Ing JUICES out Of novicss aud countv ,o,;,;.
isns. We long for the return Of thoss dav.
when fitness and NO, p.r'y n-ces.i,ies was re-.
