THE Democratic Executive Com
mittee having called for primary
ward and district meetings to be held
on Saturday; and, so far as we are adj
vised, that call being generally recog-
nized as proper and necessary for Or
~ganizatiOn, under all the circumstances
we hope every citizen who feels an
interest in the welfare of the commu-
nifty win attend and take a part in the
deliberations. We have on principle
opposed anything like a partisan NOM
ination of Judges, because we hold
that the judicial Office should be
kept pure and spotless from all
party Vaccinations. Men who are to
adiudge vital questions concern
ing life, liberty and property, and
who, between individuals, commune
ties and parties, are looked to to hold,
with even and disinterested hand, the
scales of justice, should not be elected
as the candidates of any party or
name. But, when enemies plot, the
people must combine. We under
stand that the Radical leaders have
their plans " cut and dried and their
machinery complete for the election
Of Radical judges. This makes an
extraordinary case, and warrants ac-
ton of an exceptional character.
While we may deplore the occasion,
we must submit to the necessity, of
making a selection by convention,
which, but for the stress of circum-
stances, the people, by one common
instinct for a choice of good men,
might make with reasonable convent
ence and with sufficient certainty as
well as alacrity. But, while a con
ventiOn is determined on, and has be-
come a necessity, it is also safe and
well that it should be regarded and
treated rather as a peoples than a par
tisan convention. Let good citizens
speak in this matter, which will affect
their interests so materially for years
to come. Especially let them turn
out in the primary meetings and pre-
vent and remove every cause of COM
plant and every ground Of difference.
In union there is strength. Select
well qualified men on public grounds,
rather than personal favorites, and
none need doubt their election.

A Strong Hint.

A little boy, who had been told that he
must never ask for anything to eat when
away from home, went into n neighbor's
house when the lady CHANGED to be fry
ing doughnuts.
"Ah," said he, "you are cooking"
Aware that he had been well-traincd
and anxious to see whether his appetite
would get the better of his manners, the
lady did not give him any of the dough
nuts.
Well" said he, returning to the
charge, "your cakes look nice"
"Oh, very nice, - said the lady, "they
are the best ever cooked"
After playing with the cat few min
utes, he remarked
and they smell nice"
ooh, yes, they smell nice" was the
lady's tantalizing answer.
"Well," said the boy, suppose i
any little child that was hungry shoulc
come in here when you were cooking
you -ould give him something to eat ~
"N ii, yes. think would.
We'll said he, after another turn
with the cat, ~ guess must go home
