Is Dixon a Democrat +?

The question is mootcd as to what
political party Judge Dixon belongs.
For ourselt, we care not whether he is
Republican or q Democrat, 50 long
IS he is out-spoIlcn for the Union. The
only qualifications We exact, particu-
larly in a candidate for Judicial honors,
are loyalty, capability, honesty, and So
briefly.
Mr.. Z. G. Ryan brought Judge Dix
on's name before the late Democratic
Convention, il the following appeal
This has significance only because Mr..
Ryan is the acknowledged leader Of
the Democratic party Of this State, and
because he stands at the head Of tie
bar, and is accounted one of the very
best lawyers in the whole Northwest.
Mr., Ryan said:
| wish to nominate = candidate. !
know the object ol this convention is
to nominate 4 person in every respect
lit Tor the position of E...rJ Justice. 1t
>p1acts no other qualification than fit
ness. The candidate should be q man
OF matmc wears, oi' sound Judgment,
somewhat above the grade OF II fair
LAWYER. lie should be good lawyer,
ana above all he should possess a Ie@Al
mind which can be led away by 10 po-
litical hereSics, one who does not seek
the law in vague theories, but one who,
when he lays his hand on the constitu-
ton, believes every word of the oath
which he has taken to support it. We
want sound constitutional lawyer,
which is only q convertible term for o
democrat. What want is q man who
has Intelligence enough to see the law
as tbs, and who has ftarlessness enough
to pronounce Judgment in accordance
with the law, even though the Presi-
dents long sword hangs poised above
his head! Applause.
As a man fully coming up to this
standard, nominate Luther ). Dixon.

intimate acquaintance with him prior
to his appointment as Chief Justice,

I have seen him when, if he ever be-

between oboying his own conscience

his conscience every time. Ihaye seer

as is the labit in these quibbling times
when it would have been an easy tasl
to GLOSS over question by a few spe
cious words, and violate the constitu

lie never hesitated one moment, bu
adhered strictly to the Constitution anG
