Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-08-17

The Objectionable character of
Crawford County Democracy, which
has been made the subject OF an edi
torial elsewhere, was never more ap-
parent than in the treatment this gen.
tleman has received.
The Office ofjudge has been degrad-
ed by making it elective and the best
citizens treat the selection of a judge
with the utmost delicacy and intelli-
gent care.
Five years ago passionate cabal
Of Crawford County Democrats, de-
feated Mr.. NJ. c. Whitley, and NOM
mated Hon. G. r. Mott, not from any
profound indignation excited by the
Objectionable conduct of the former,
nor from any profound admiration Of
the latter, but to crafty personal bad
feelings and all could see what no one
strove to conceal, that it was the vim
dictive triumph of angry men who
thus degraded II .ec high office of Judge
by making it the means Of gratifying
their personal passions.
When these same lawyers CON-
menced to practice before the judge
of their own creation, they thought
to find subservient court obenient to
their interests They very soon found
that Hon. C. R. Mott, instead of being
q judge for selfish attornies, had de-
termincd to be judge for the people,
and the people were not slow to rec
ognizo his impart:alitv, and his earn
est desire to do his whole duty faith
fully.
Now this same cabal, aided by one
or two angry gentlemen, who ought
to- have known better, have thought
fit to defeat the denomination of Hon.
G. r. Mott, because they could Meth.
er ase' nor abuse him with impunity.
and to set up A. NJ Jackson in his
place It will be surprising indeed, if
the people of this judicial district toll
crate sueh shameful degradation of
the important duty Of selecting a
judge,
Mr. A. NJ. Jackson is a personal
friend, and in this canvass against
him, the editor of this pape will print
nothing in it that he would not say to
to the face of his friend. The circum-
stances, however, of this nomination,
are significant.
Three years ago the faction in Craw-
ford county presented Mr. jackson
as candidate for Congress, and he
was defeated by the best men of the
district; why, it would be unkind to
detail. Other counties overrufed
Crowford and nominated hfr. Noble,
and Crawford county earned the con
tempt Of the State by seeding, and
holding a convention all by itself
Finally, these boiling democrats, so
fierce in their threats, eat humble pie
and returned to the democratic fold.
Recently, Tiffin having learned OF
the anger of the Crawford County
faction against his honor judge Mott,
have played Jackson off, and got him
out of the way of nomination. for
Congress next year, so that the course
is left clear for the Hon. W. p. Noble.
Thus the gentleman, who, three years
ago was not fit to be a Congressman,
much as, by his earnest political
labors he really deserved it, is now
without any change for the better
supposed to be very fit candidate to
be a Judge, while Hon. c. R. Mott
who has been an able, upright and
acceptable Judge, in the estimation
of an intelligent people, without re
gard to party, is now set aside to graf
ify a highly Objectionable spirit o
personal yindictiveness.
i There are obout $4,000 democratic
votes ia this judicial district. which
does not give majority of 5000, ant
it will be a disgrace indeed if one fittl
of them do not refuse to become
party to any such shameful spit
work. The defeat of Mr.. Jackson
and prompt rebuke to the passion
ate men who have thrust him forwar,
are already as plainly foreshaeowe
as it is possible for any probable bu
not certain political event to be pre-
dieted.--Bucyrus Journal.
