The claims Of candidates 10 the public
support are seldom c&nvassed with the
pains and impartiaity which they deserve
at the hands Of the people, whose vital in
terests are entrusted TO the Q6ces they
seek. We are all too much inclined to
form our judgment upon bias or predu1
dice; vet there are " requisites for Of
fee, laid down by the most powerful po-
litical leader that this country ever had,
which should not be overlooked by good
men. Is he bOnest2 Is he capable? The
Jeffersonian standard ought, by no means,
TO be disregarded at a time when Ten
nesseeans are e~ndeavoring to return to a
good administration. Whenever a can
didate presents himself with these quail
hcations, let him be at once embraced by
the people. When two or more come for
ward with like capabilities, there is then,
room for the exercise Of mere friendly
bias.
Without disparagement to any one who
may present his name as an aspirant for
District Attorney Of the Criminal Court,
and not desiring to prejudice their claims,
we may be permitted to say as a public
journalist, that there is one man who is
spoken of for that office, who fully meets
the standard we have referred to. The gem
tleman to whom we allude, is NJ. d. Welch
Esq formerly Clerk ofthe Supreme Court,
at Jackson. Mr.. Welch has resided in our
midst for more than a score of years, ex-
cepting the two or three years during
which he discharged the duties of clerk Of
the Supreme Court, and has always
been distinguished as a laborious, ener-
getic, clear-headed and able advocate and
lawyer, attentive 10 the interests of his
clients, firm in the discharge of his duty
and always prepared to do it. If elected
to the important position to which the
voices Of many friends call him, he will
be found a fearless sentinel of justice, not
desiring to increase unnecessary litiga-
ton for private gain, but determined and
ready to prosecute criminals and rid the
country of all who violate the criminal
