we think the ticket q good one, worthy
the confidence Of the community ard
the support Of every Democrat in Shelly
county. While there is DOUBTLESS some
dissatisfaction, we think it confined 10
those alone whose expectations were not
realized, and whose thirst for Office could
not be q~uenched at the Democratic
fount. From the inception otthe move
ment to fill the vacant Judicial offices,
there has been apparent, with s majority
of the Democratic party, q desire for fair
dealing, and 10 satisfy the claims Of the
people by the presentation of gentlemen
who, in point CT ability and general
qualifications, would reach the standard
which existing laws permit. The Con-
vention was fairly called, the delegates
properly elected, and the proceedings
characterized, in the main, by hay-
mony, discretion and csBdOr. There
was manifest among the men,
beers q desire to meet the public demand.
Dat Of the material to which they were
limited, we thInk they succeeded admir-
ably.
Judge CARUTBERs, who heads the
ticket, for Chancellor, is no stranger to
this people. One Of a family who have
linked their name indissolubly with the
Judiciary az our State and the legal liter
allure of the country, he well earned snd
worthily wore Judicial distinction before
the war, as the presiding officer CT the
Common Law and Chaneery Courts OF
Memphis. During his six years Occu-
psncy of the bench, Judge CARUTHERs
won the confidence of the bar and Of
the public. To lis brethren Of the pro-
fession be commended himself by his
legal attsiHments, bis Judgments, his
proprietias upon the bsnoh, his dignity
and the uprightness Of his demeanor and
decisions. With these qualities and
qualifications still in possession, we feel
safe in urging his claims upon the Dem
ocraey, safe in urging them to rally to
his support and to se9ure his election.
Judge PERKINS, who is the second
name on the ticket, is well known to
our people, having bsen prominent for
the past few years as United States Dis
trict Attorney, and in connection with
the Democratic party. He has capacity
for the Common Law Judgeship and en-
Joys the confidence Of the DaE and the
people. A former officer OF the Federal
army, his department and conduct since
the war have beer such as TO achieve for
him the respect and esteem Of 8 wide
circle Of warm personal friends. He hss
been & true, frn, and consistent Demo-
Graf, in Q cut OF the army, and on
more than one occasion during the past
five year,, has sacrificed promotion and
emoiument rather than sully q high rep
utatlon for politicA integrity and coz
eistency.
Mr.. WALLACE is also wei known as
the former Attorney-G General OF the
Criminal Court. Ia the routine Of thSt
office be fitted himself for the position "a
which ne has been nominated By the
Democratic party, and where, II elected,
ss we hope, we predict he will be found
the man Tor sDy emergency that
may be sprung upon this people
by the evil disposed. He has,
beside the requisite experience, sbility
for az oGlcs, the duties Of which we be-
lieve he will discharge with frames
tempered with mercy.

Municipal Court, is an Old pr ~titioner in

Mr.. RYAN, for Prosecuting Attorney K
