Aa.li.s and did the people in whose inter-
"sl ~ v ,ills to be acting III this matter, Know
ss'at III was simply using that plea as a
e"se F under which to vent the spleen OF a
tfes individuals against Judge Murphy " e
Would deem il unnecessary to make this re-
DIX. The base assertions of the Montaniaii,
OF Judge Murphy sincompetency will we gh
little against the facts which we have shown
in our iss.e of last week. That paper, 10
crafty the revenge Of "a few individuals, al
lows its columns to be filled with these
malicious articles AM tells the good people
that it Is for their interest, when its editors
know that it is speaking i'll the face Of the
facts that Judge Murphy HAS always dis
charged his duties III a capable, efficient, and
faithful manner: that he has saved to the
co i.ities composing his district at least enc
! half Of tie expense that they were put to III
the holding of the District Courts before he
~. eaille upon The bench. We defend Judge Mur-
fffs lhy through no personal motives, but SIM
9g ply in the interest of the people and from
sense ofiustice to him. Now let us look to the
~ petition. asking the removal Of Judge MUIR

tim is sigucd by thirteen men: four of them,
and only four are practising lawyers and
have right to sign it; the Others that have
signed it are farmers, associate editors car
pc,iter., acting U. S. Deputy Marshalls: and
,nl.i, III other traifics and trades: men who
have no more right to SIN such a petition
than j. Grow Indian, who never had acase N
