tivs-that is the right to vots-les,

tan years, and the duties to be dis.
charged are Of vital importance ipvol-
wing the highest interes Of our people.
hence, we should select a man who
possesses all tle requirements for
faithful discharge Of tho duties Of the
oaicO. Should the person selected for
the position be unsuitcd to the per-
formauco Of its duties, through inca
pacity, or from any other cause, II
may be easily in iged what decided
disadvantsge it woull be to the en-.
tire community ; how their interests
would suffer in many respects-not
merely for year, but for tho pro-
,racted period Of ton years. This
consideration should have great weigh,
with each voter when bo goes 10 cast
his ballot for so impor'an, an office
1t should outweigh oil his political
feelings and prcjuiic's lit should
eradicate from his mind every other
feeling than the desire to secure the
best legal ability, and the least likcli-
hood Of the incumbent being ibhucuc-
cd BY partisan or sectarian feeling.
