You were kind enough to say
that "you have always understood
that I am an excellent Judge" but
you add. that in view Of the preju.

continuance in office would be pro.
dnctivc only of evil" Now the in
Justice yon do me herein is. to take
for granted, or On the meagrc asser-
ti0n ofa handful Of clamorous per-
sons, the existence of this prejudice.
Is it likely you would have always
understood that I was an excellent
Judge" ifthis prejudice had existed?
Why did you not invite ME to proffer
proof to the contrary, if you had
meditated action upon such a ground?
How do you assume to have
learned its existence? Five or six
men, all for personal reasons, desirc-
ous Of MY removal, have probably
81 written you. You represent
many thousand persons. How many
Of those thousands have urged my re.
, moval? Whom have they defuted
t" express to you this urgence?
When your constituents were con.
vencd in legislation session, two
months ago, these same men were
very solicitous tn get from them an
expression adverse to me, and
though I moved no finger, they IS.
unanimously failed. In my judicial
district you represen. some thons-
ands. How many Of these have re-
questel my removal? Outside Of
Court-FI"use influence, they are not
n half dozen who have mentioned
such wish. and these. ifany suclr
there be, are utterly without author
ity to represent the people of the
district. Why, sir, I repeat, the
people who were authorized to rep
resent this district, met few weeks
ago in legislative session. and were
then appealed to by these same
men. Some of them were privately
