renomirated By the late Union County

s;s:: upon Fir play in his case, as IN that
Of every other candidate for public favor.
Is y1r. Farwel honest, IS he competent, is
he accommodating, does he discharge his
du,ies faithfully? These are the ques-
to be asked and answered The senseless
clarncr about "Court House Clique" Is
sufficiently answered BY the fact that nine
tcnths Of those who are Voclferatng it
against Mr.. Fa1weu are grestly indignant
TINT Judge John n. Wilson vas not re-
nominated he having held county Office
as long as Mr. Fa1wen and being there

frankly say that Te think Judge Nasoa
oupht to have been 1enominated, and TINT
he ought to be reelected, On account OF
his eminent qualifications as s jurist, his
tr:ed ability and his proved integrity: To
Ma member of the Court House clique
