OUR CANDIDATE
from the Richland County Republican,
WHAT is SAID OF HIM.

from the Richland County Republican,
1t is a high compliment for man to
receive denomination to any office in this
country. We are becoming so accustomed
to change that VIC often nominate new
men without reference to qualifications.
But in spite of this mania for change
Judge Mills was unanimously nominated.
His staunch Republcanism and answering
integrity, commend him to all honest men
of the party. He has never made speeches
in this County or bated us with the prom
Use of Railroads He has always attended
to the duties of his Office, and consulted the
wishes of the people, and is man of
the people. The Judge has some eccen-
tricities which his political opponents are
constantly harring upon to make capital OF.
But his legal ability cannot be questioned.
His published decisions furnish ample
proof of this. Another excellent feature
of the Judges administration is his in
clination to the side Of justice, in spite of
disappointed members Of the bar. Re-
publicans should not be deceived in this
matter by any clap trap of political OPP
ponents.
From the Grant Co. HERALD
We are pleased to record the action of
the judicial convention at Dodgevlle the
other day in rcnominating Hon. j. 7. Mills
for the office of the Fifth judicial circuit
This compliment to the Judges admins
tration of justice the past six years is we'll
deserved That he is an honest judge
even his bitterest enemies will not deny.
That he is an able iurist the people have
never questioned. That he is an Impair
tial Judge his recorded decisions stand to
testify. He is eccentric. hence not proud,
and believes in God and the infailibiity of
no one. The satisfaction with the re-nom-
ination of Judge NJ. is certainly general
throughout the district. and we accord to
him handsome majority.
From the Darlington Republican,
We place his name at the head of our
columnssand accord to him cheerful sup
port. While there was some question as
to who should be nominated, there can be
none as to who shall be elected Aud the
friends of defeated candidates will rally to
the support of Mr.. Mills with the same
zeal that they would have desired and ex-
pected from his friends. If his reelection
by handsome majority will disappoint
any one, we advise them to be prepared
for it.
From the Boscobel Journal
We are glad the Judge has been renom-
mated to the position he has so long, so
honestly and so faithfully filed Judge
Mills, with his many foibles and eccentric
tiles, and his personal dress and appear
ance generally, may not have added so
much to the dignity of the bench as those
who in earlier and more dignified Judicial
times wore stately robes lined with ermine !;
but we do believe that he has never de-
Iacted from the purity of the higher po-
sition which state robes lined with the fur
of the little animal called the ermine used
to be considered emblematical Of Even
those who opposed him in convention,
frankly acknowledged that he was honest,
and that the just rights of man with man
were honestly and fairly tried in his court
that he has few superiors in legal knowl
edge and ability that intricate law points
were always clearly elucidated and explain
ed to a jury, that his written opinions
were always full, concise and complete,
and that but few of his opinions have been
reversed by the higher courts. For these
reasons, and others we might give, we
hope Judge Mills will pc triumphantly
elected.
