We place the name Of Judge + W.
Mex instry u, The head Of our editorial col
nmns this week, for Justice Of The Su-
preme Court We have known him for II G
past twenty years, and know him TO pos
sess one Of the first judicial minds Of The
State, and to nave been II consistent friend
Of the people lhrousL his action in the Dem
ocratc party for all Of that lime. lie was
twice elected TO the position Of District
Judge in The 7lh Judicial District, com
posed ther of the counties of Napa, Solano,
Sonomo and Marin, and served the people
OF that district with entire satisfaction foi
some nine years. About the middle of the
recond term he resigned his position, wenl
to Aurora and engaged in the practice of
law; while there was nominated on the
Democratic ticket for the Office tf Lieuten-
ant Governor. Subsequently lie removed
to San Francisco and eng ged in the prac-
tice Of law there, and was elected District
Judge of the 12ih Judicial District in that
city about fomr years ago, and has fiji ed
that office will, great satisfaction 10 the peo-
pie, ever since. Judge McKinstry
ranks both his opponents, Mckee and
Dwinelle, in service on the bench and repu-
taton as IA jurist and on the score of expert
enee as judge, as well as in his known
sympathy with the people in opposition to
monopolies and deserves the support Of all
friends of the people in their fight with cor
pora,ioNs at the coming election. 1t is no.
torious that his Republican opponent,
Dwinelle, is the choice Of S;anlord's monopo-
ly, and will bc their tool on The Supreme
bench if elected, and may continue the mo-
nopoly in the control of the Supreme Court
for years 10 come. Such men as FELTON,,
Sanderson, Robinson, Page. Mcfarland,
Sargent, Cosl.lan and others of like ilk,
would never have supported Dwince for
that position without knowing positively
that he was ready to be the tool of the mt
nopoly, and do ali it asked Of him, 10th Oh
and off the bench
As we view the contest it looks like the
fight would be between Dwinelle and Nc
Kinstry; and those WHO would beat the mo-
Dopoly candidate should vote for the latter
Experience has shown that it is difficult TO
get out full vote at a judicial election, but
the people This year IL 1. contest upon which
so much depends, should make it point %
attend the election and vote
