that what Judge Poland lost i'll repu-

make up III reputation as lawyer.
But we have been sadly disappointed.
Judge Poland has been in Washington
seven winters seven sessions of the
supreme court. In all that time he has
argued four cases in the supreme count,
and never but one i'll the winter. In
only one did he make the preparation
and the brief. and that was i'll the case
of the state referred to 10y ''Notcr. All
the other cases were entirely prepared
10y other counsel. Onc he argued gla-
tuitouSlN. for an old surgeon III the
Union army. who was tempted to put
what little money he had. into the pllr-
cll;i>,. of Il cnmtisrated rebel estate.

A Political Beggar."

one of the most rahid Democratic
Greeley papers III the State. * also one
of the most earnest, III its advocacy of
the nomination of Judge Steele for
Congress. instead of Judge Poland. Its
zeal is Il little singular if it does not in
tend to support him when nominated.
In Il recent article on this subject. it
calls Judge Poland Il political beg
gar, and charges that he is trying to
force himself a> Il candidate upon the
district other state organs charge the
same thing.
Now the precise reverse of all this l.
true. Judge Poland is now serving his
third term IN the House. and his whole
course iii Congress. has met the approx
al of the republicans of the district.
We have never seen one word of dis
satisfaction. III ANY of the papers which
now a>sail him. We believe the rcpuh-
licam> of the district not only felt salts
fed. but felt IL just pride in the position
held 10y their representative: and to
day that ninety nine uut of every hun
drcd of them. would SAY they never
thought or heard of. or desired ANY
change. 1t i doubtless true that Judge
Steele has personal friends. who would
rat her see him in Congress than Judge
Poland, "r amy body else. 1t is also un-
duuhtcdlN true. that nj deciding the
conflicting claims for pu>lotlicc appoint
memtS. some persons were disappointed
and offended. and would therefore like
t" oppose him.
But with these exceptions. the feel
ing of satisfaction with Judge Poland.
and the expectation that he would hr
rcmumimatrd. was universal. Judge
Poland made no claim Ia anothcr nom
nation. lie asked nobody To sup
port him. he retained lao new ~pnprr> III

al in such eases. many sharp things and
doubtless some unjust things. were said
and written 10y the friends of both thcS,
gentlemen. By the interference and
action of leading republicans. not only
within the district but in other parts OF
the state. the contest was ended 10y an
arrangement. in which all tcquit>ctd
that Morrill, should succeed Poland in
the Senate. and Poland succeed Nor
rill in the House. The hard things that
had been said i'll the canvass. never AT
ttctcd the personal relations between
the two gentlemen. and no two men in
Congress have worked together more
larmuminusly than they. In that can
Na>s Judge Poland had no warmer sup
porter than Judge Steele. No man said
more things III his praise no man said
more li>par:igimg things of Mr.. Morrill,
than did Judge Steele. He WAS one of
the friends OF Judge Poland. who WAS
not satisfied with the manner in which
the matter WAS adjusted. and who in
sisted that Judge Poland ought to have
gone on with the contest. and claimed
that he would have been successful.
That WAS Judge Steele H,n NoW.
that he has after long CESSATION and
manipulation. got himself into the field
as Il candidate against Judge Poland.
he and his friends are irving hard to re
awaken and rcSlIScitatc all the sharp
things that We're said in the old senate
rial campaign. for the evident purpose
OF prcludicimg some friends of Mr. Nor
