The Ju&lEcslsip for the 10Th JU-
allcl;ll District.


Tue JrncEsn,r.-Thc nomination Of Hon.
Sherman Page for the Judgcship OF the Tenth
Judicial District, is not only = just expression
Of tho peoples appreciation uf those high
, qualities Of manhood which should ever adorn
the bench, but it is step in the direction Of
the redemption Of tho high and sacred office
from tho contempt into which there is at least
danger it is retrogra,ling.
Without intending to reflect on the person
; mel Of cishor Of the other gentlemen who had
6eem named in connection with this office, VIC
freely and frankly express our opinion, that
n, mau who has yet been mentioned, Or is
likely to he. would carry with him I" the ju-
dicinl bench 80 much ability and dignity.
We have heard it dark'y limited that the
people VI Fillmore county propose to run j.
=. Farmer, Of Spring Valley. ~ M IndcpC IL
dent candidate. How true that may be-. We Of
course cannot say; but the fact that the Spring
Valley Progress, II paper published ut the
home Of Mr.. Farmer, in its issue Of tho 10th
inst, bolts the nomination, though without
| announcing who it intends to support, gives
reason to believe that the politicians arc work
ing up somo snch movement. Dut'so fur Us
its being n movement Of the people. there is
othing Of the kind. Tho people Of that
county take little interest in the mattcr.--
Those Of them who do, arc we'll satisfied with
| tbs nomination Of Mr.. Page, and it only needs
to 30 shown that the movement originates in
| the i" rule " ruin" spirit, to bring down upon
il tho dreaded condemnation Of the voters.
Tho fact that in District composed Of four
counties, tho delegates Of three Of those coun-
ties, expressing the desire Of the Constituents,
were unanimous for the nomination Of Mr..
Page, ought TO be sufficient to satisfy any fair
| minded man that he is the choice Of tho pcO-
pie Of tho District for the position--at any
rate the Republican portion Of them.
From the Albert lea Enterprise.
TuE Judicial NoxINArIoN.-Thc Rushford
journal (Grccley organ) finds fault with tho
which nominated Sherman Page for Judge.
This is not surprising, but is just what might
have been expected. The Greeley men have
no right to bc satisfied with aAv thing, which
is done by the Republican party. 1t is the
province, rs we'll as necessity Of their limited
capacities to snarl At the virtues they cannot
cmulnte. We are pleased rather than other
wise That the nominee Of tho Republican par
ty for Judge Of this District does not please
the Journal, we like him all tho better for tho
spirit Of opposition he has provoked among
Of Cincinnati and Baltimore. Stop dawdlin2
and bring out your man M. journal, sore
headed or copper headed, VIC don't care which
and VIC will show you that the Republican par.
ty Of this District esteem Mr.. Page, as man
who has "the fitness aud personal WORTH" Ito
use your own words) for the judicial crlnine
The Austin Reyisfer. or the Mower county ring
thieves to the contrary notwithstanding.
| Meanwhile, We would advise tho Journal, t.
hesitate before giving currency to the stntc.
,nents Of Mr.. Pages personal enemies, that he
is third rate lawyer, and that tho bar oil
tho District arc universally displcased with
his nomination."
Mr.. Page is 4 man Of liberal culture, not
only in letters. but in the science Of the law
and rs n scholar, lawyer and man docs no,
stund second to any member Of his profession
in Southern Minnesota.
| In this we but express tho unexccptiona
opinion Of every lawyer in this county all OF
whom, both Democrats aud Republicans, will
support Mr.. Page, for the judicial Office 1T the
next election.
