"a OARD.

Responding to published recon-
mendations of my brother lawyers,
presenting my name for the sue
cesaen to Judge Caruthers Oh the
Supreme Court Bench; also, to no
tees and calls touching the same
subject from Wilson" the Lincoln
Journal, and through private let
tiers from partial citizen friends, ]
may answer by saying, it would be
afIectation to disguise the fact that
a position ON the Supreme Bench
would be very gratifying and ac-
ceptable to me, and |, therefore,
announce myself a candidate, and
if elected, viii discharge its duties
according to the measure OF my
abilities.
In making this announcement,
/ win be pardoned for expressing
the pleasure derived from a knowl
edge of the fact, that this office is
not to be sought in the ordinary
mode of electioneering. If it were
then my continuous official engage
1nent in the courtsof my Division
from this to the day of election
would preclude me from going
abroad to meet old friends or to
seek peac ones.
