The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1867-06-21

VIZ had the pleasure of meetinel many old
friends, ia the State Convention, whom we
had not seen before for years and We cam
not withhold allusions 70 one whom revere
under very special obligation for efficient aid
in securing the triumphant nomination Of our
friend Beck, whose name was presented BY
the unanimous vote of Lee county, for the
Supreme Bench. We still retain a lively
recollection Of the hearty good will with which
Judge Murdoch was accustomed to enter into
the canvass, for his favorite candidates in Con-
ventions, in by gone years, and the powerful
influence he exerted to secure their success;
and We felt great deal of confidence in the
| success of our fayorite candidate a. the recent
election, when we found our old friend from
the north msniiesting decided interest in
| his behalf And we found that however time
may have marked the progress on his outward
form and appearance, it had neither dimmed
the brightness of his intellect, nor cooled the
warm and sympathetic glow of his feelings
during The many years that have passed away
since We we're accustomed to meet him in
Wing Conventions in the early days Of our
political struggles in Iowa.
Onbehalf Of Lee county and Of the friends
Judge Beck, we tender thus publicly our
hearty thanks to our old friend Judge MUIR
dock, Of Clayton county, for the very power
full and timely aid which he rendered at the
recent Convention.
