-
respectfully announce to the people Of s,orsy
County that I am q candidate for reelection to
the pouitIou OF District Judge Of the First Ju.
dicial District o.
And take this opportunity to present to the
Electors Of Storey County some considerations,
in relation TO the Judiciary Of our State:
The Judicial power Is entrufted with the 40.
ministration Of Justice, and this power more
forcibly, visIbly and uniformly operates upon AZ
the rights and interests Of social life, than the
power of any other department In our system OF
Governments By Its proper exercise, just nno
vigorous investigation and punishment OF crime
should be reached and secured. Tbs saiety OF
the people, and the good order and harmony y
society, require such exercise Of tnis PonsE :"
shield the community from fraud and violence.
BY the proper and ~Judiclous exercise OF tne
same power. the punctual performance OF con.
tracts and obligations should be faithfuuy' larry
and Justly enforced, and In the various Chains ano
liabilities which arse In the business relations OF
lie, should DO properly adjusted and ssisoisned.
The people who can look with confidence TO the
trlbunals Of Justice, for the protection and secu'
rity Of their lust rights. may be truly regarded 9
favored people, but without such confidence ana
good grounds upon which 1t may safely, rest, o

whose duty Il Ia to exercise this power, should
have and possess such qualifications, experience
habits and character, an will warrant In the pup,
lie mind the fullest confidence; then there Will
b. fell an assurance that all just rights and inter-
.sts claimed In Courts of Justice will be faithfully
and fairly considered, and impartially decided
upon. -..
These qualifications. habits and character
should be such ny will bring with them q reliable
guaranty against any and all attempts TO induce.
entlce or coercs the judicial tribunal to soil the
purity Of Its ermine.
Unsullled purity Of purpose and an unfinching
Integrity Of principle are tho indispensable requi'
si en- In the character OF him who IN Plaeea d
position to exercise judicial power In the dis
charge Of his duties. Nothing more than the fore
| going qualifications and requisites need be re-
quired. and nothing less will render him ut TO be
entrusted with the exercise OF Judicial power:
That exercise Of power can not wisely be placed
| I'm incompetent hands, nor should II be subjected
TO the communicating influences OF social delin'
| quencies or Of moral obliquities.
The right and the power to nominate aman
for office IL inherent In the people. 1t Is their
duty and their interest to do 80. The security OF
| their rights, by u Just administration Of the laws,
by a nomination for judicial office IL the control

| time OF election. or they may nominate and elect
at the same time.

accepted or rejected. II the wishes. the choice

suited, II proper inquiry has been made In order
to ascertain the mind Of the people. then these
agents can properly exercise that delegated right

But II these agents act regardless Of the wishes
OF the people whose interests, safety and well.

| In that case the nomination Is made In violation
Of good faith and IL void. and has no claim to "a.
yor or respect. Il Is o nullity. There is no such
thing as a regular nomination, unless II be made
with AN honest purpose Of making q selection for
the people and In accordance with their wishes.
Can u nomination be regarded IN binding II IL be
repugnan, to the wishes Of the peoplet How
much would We ordinarily pay an agent for doing
Iu.t what we do not want him to dof Or how
much would we be likely TO thank an agent for
doing what IL hostile TO our interest and repug'
nant TO our wishesf
And vet how common II Is for the agents, who
have been most wanion and derellct Of duty, and
who have only been induced by some cunning
device 10 promote the wishes Of a few persons or
a mere clique, In disregard Of the people, to cry

more recrcant they were to their proper duty the
more loudly they Intended to proclaim the bind
