Fourth Judicial Circuit-Nomination
of Campbell Mclean.

The democratic convention which assem-
bled at Chiffon Tuesday dominated Hon.
Campbell Mclean, Of Fond du Lac county,
for the Office of circuit ju1ge. This is ju-
dicious nomination and one worthy the un-
divided support . eope of that cir
cult Mr.. hicI-ea Is one of the Oldest resi-
dents of the circu,, and stands deservediy
high as lawyer and a gentleman. We
never knew him to = in supporting good
and true men for v..s,ial position. Now
that he is himself candidate for position
which he is thoroughly qualified to occupy,
we hope all good and true men will stand
by bim
The fourth circuit is composed Of the
counties of Fond du Lac, Calumet, Sheboy-
gan, Manitowee and Kewaunee-all demo
cratic with one doubtful exception The
democracy OF these counties have no right
to surrender the most important position In
their gift to the enemy at this vital crisis.
The judiciary is the last hope OF the people
Of tins country tor protection from outrage
and wrong In every republican circuit ln
the state I. republican has been placed on
the bench From Lake Superior to the IL
lnois line there is scarcely court where
citizen can appeal with the certainty Of pro-
lection from radical outrageS on the cOnsti-
tutloDal rights Of the people. No man
knows what the next six years may bring
forth. Within that time the people Of
Wisconsin like the people of she south, may
find their last refuge IN the right Of appeal
To courts which respects the constitution of
the Union as the supreme law. Will the
democracy OF the fourth circuit deliberately
surrender thclr power Tor good by l0ultter-
ence to the result oi this election?
Oi Judge Taylor We nave iittle to say ex
cept that he Is republican partisan OF the
strIctest sect, and therefore committed TO
every wrong IN legislation perpetratcd by
this Congress- Ii Wc are rightly informed
hc never fails 20 go to the p0!.S at every
election and work vigorously ior the defeat
OF every democratic candidate ot whatever
character and for whatever office. 1t Is
true that he Is announced as an lndepen-
dent candidate, but 1t Is true also that re
publlcdn candidates tor the bench always
are Independent Candidates in democrat
i, districts. 1t is the chronic policy of the
republicans to secure every official position
to themselves, aud to do this they are strict
party men where they can command ma
jorlty OF the votes, and no party men where
iey behave they can 80 best secure outside
st tngth. Once elected, they are always
party men except on the eve OF the ensuing
ectlon. fjudge Taylor Is re elected the
f,ct will be proclaimed from Madison to
Washington as radical victory aud an en-
dorsement of im parchment and military re-
Construction Is this the message the
democracy Of the fourth circuit wish to see
sent down to our gallant representatives. IL
the national capitol?
We venture these suggestions, because
We know that either the defeat or surren
der of the democracy of the fourth circuit
at this time would tend to disastrous results
in the whole state. The enemy has 20
ground Of compromise with the democracy,
aud wc know Of no reason why the demo
cracy should volunteer humi!iatlng com
promises to the enemy. The safety of the
country at this crisis lies in the determlna-
ton OF the friends of constitutional liberty
on every occasion, tn meet solid column
with solid column!
We clip the above from the Milwaukee
News
Read it Democrats.
Reflect upon it.
Dscurs it among yourselves and your
ncighbors, then act as your conscience die
tates 81.
The importance orelecting our candilate,
Judge Of this circuit, in place ct Judge
Taylor, cannot be over estimated.
