The nomination of this gontlem n BY
the Democratic party is one Of the
best securities that can be offered to
the voters Of Pennsylvania thu the
great object Of 'ho party Is the real wei.
fare ofthe people. Whoever may be The
nominee Of tho Republican party, he
cannot bring to the elevated an / rcspon
sihc Office Of Judge Of the Supreme
Court a m.ro thorough know'cdIo Of
the duties, or better publications for
their intelligence and faithful perf5r
nance. Men Of all Iariios lhru'out the
State, have lonI known Judge Shars
wool as an honorable, upright man, and
learned jurist, possessing in an eminent
degree clear, comprehensive, AMI i'm
partial mind and spirit, the great Gle.
mont Of the perfect Judge,
y man Ike Judge Sharsvool cannot
be mere party man There are traits
of character llnown to belong to him
that must oF necessity, elevate their
poscssors above mere party feeling.
But the grand principles which the ins
telligcnt men Of the Democratic party
advocated, aud would if they could re
establish in our State and country, will,
we ma bo sure, find in Judge Shars-
wood consistent support lie is not a
man to be carried away by the whims
OF any party, anil if the Democratic
party should swcrvo from the right, it
would find Itself sailing away from lis
nominee, o. dis we cannot eltertaln u
doubt. And such should BE- the rcputa-
tion and Character Of any man who as
pires to the distinguished and influential
position Of Judge Of the Supreme Court
Of Pennsylvania
Judge Sharswool does net stand in
need Of fnlsJme alultation. lie IS above
it. lie is 4 plain, honest, capable man,
entirely worthy OF tic highest honor
which the people of our State have 1t in
their power to bcstow, and in whose in
tegrity and strict justice 1hey can repose
the most implicit confidence.
While yeta youa3 man, while serving
the people faithfully and intustriously
in the Legislature OF his native State, he
was regarded by the late eminent Chict
Justice Girson, as possessing one of the
best judicial minds in the State. Other
superior legal gentlemen, though differ
ing with Judge Sharswool in politics
entertained the same opioion. And time
has proved that the opiuion Was well
founded
When our Constitution was changed
in 1898, making our Judges elective, i
was feared by many wise men Of Dorl
parties, that the popular clamor for party
would lead to the nomination and elec
ton of mere partsaLs, and thus lower
the dignity and usefulness Of the Courts
But the good sense Of the PEOPLE ha
since demonstrated That they are capa
bic of approaching real merit AMI o
