The term Of the present incumbent in the
office Of circuit judge tor the fourth jade
lal circuit Comprising the counties OF fond
du Lac, Sheboygan, Man,towoc, Calumet
aG.d kewauueej viii expire with the year
1868, aud u successor is to be elected al the
Spring elections, April 7th. 1t is OF the
utmost importance that the selection be
mace with careful consideration, and that
one Is placed upon the judicial bench III
whom We may feel assured Of an upright,
impartial, conscientious judge, and no par
tlsan or place hunter. The democratic
party, as will be seen ty tie convention
proceedings elsewhere, have Placed IN noml
nation Campbell Mclean, OF Fond du Lac,
aud Judge Taylor has had his name pres
cnted as . lndepcfrlent candidate for re-
e!ecli0n-under lretext that the judses'r,,
should not be u political o!ficc, but manl-

circuit Were Judge Taylr fairly quail

and all will admit ITEM to be absolutely cs-
sentative should certainly INCLINE 10 f. :
vor his re election, ignoring considerations
OF party; but in view Of his condact during
last tenure We are justified in u belief that
he Is wanting IN even a fair share thereof.
Judge Taylor should be the last man to
appeal to the electors as a no-party candi-
date. a more violent, factions partisan
does not visit the election precincts within
these five counties. He is well kuOwn to
have attended the polls N his own town as
an active canvas>er and even throw Oft his
coat and offer fight, Ia Ii New lolk fifth

As to his conduct on the bench, the fire.
quent attendant at the court room can, we
believe, attest his favorliism in partial ru-
llngS and charges-tilat the tribunal to
which all claims and rights IN controversy
must be submitted is not reliable for tair
judgment, aud that We fail to find the quail
tications mentioned In our text.
This is not exclusively a democratic view
of Judge Taylor. a leading member of the
Sheboygan bar we refer to j A. Bentley
E>q. lone whose sympathies and actions
are uEqueStiouably with the party 10 which
Judge Taylor beiongs-is out in opposition.
We publish in another column his letter to
the Times of last week, and have seen the
draft of a communication prepared for pub
lication this week. in IT, e same paper, tx
posing the proceedings in one case, which
clearly exhibits Judge Taylor in the light o
pafiatify 10 say the least-enp pIoying the
prerosauveS Of the judicial Office to further
his personal interests or those of his
friends
We refer more particularly in another ar
ticle to our able candidate, Campbcl Me-
I.esu. Suffice II mere fhat his reputation
Is a guaranty Of the q lal ficati1ns which We
dernant! IN Judge.
We, therefore, earnestly appeal to all
democrats and TO the fair~mind5d repub!i>
cans to rally to the support OF Mclean, and
elect him by rousiny majority over David
Taylor, the ''no>party candidate par
tSan whom we have felt it a deity thus to
exhibit in his true character
