10 ths Editor ef The Chicago Tfi5ane:

10 ths Editor ar The Chicago Tribune:
SIN: Tho public will glve special attention to
tho above able letter Of the Hon.: john D. Caton,
for many years Chief Justice Of Illinois, to Mr:
scammon. It iB d convincing, in fact, unanswcr-
able, argument in favor of the election OF Judge
Lawrence, 1t is to bs hoped it will have coll-
trolling influence In tho CANVASS, and that Illi-
uols, always proud Of her able and upright
Judiciary, will bo spared the scandal and tho
danger of electing mau to tho Supreme
Court Of tho State Pledged In I'D
vance not to decide questions ac-
oordlng to tho Constitution, the law, and tho
facts, but to curry out tho views and; wishes Of
certain conventions. to whose mapipulations
ho may owe his office. Judge Cation is nun
full Of yoars and 1onors, aud no can havo no
motive for giving his opinions on this question
except the welfare Of the State. From tho Pa
oifo coast he looks back to his home with anx-
ious fotebodings, lost tho arts of tho donna
gogue should foist upon tho tribunal Of laat re-
sort mere politician, whose very platform
marks him ns man not to be trustol. From
the dire calamty TINT threatens tho State may
tho sterling, honest voters Of tho Fifth Judicial
District preserve us.
In this most important matter Mr.. 6cammon
occupies tho Au,niliating position of 4 nero
organ-griuder. lie docs not live in Judge Law
rence'a district, and, therefore, will not tako
sides, Nobody knows better than Mr. Bcammon
that worry large proportion Of tho casos that
como before tie Supreme Court aro taken from
thiB city. The whole State Ia Interested IN tho
character Of tho. judges from oach district.
Hence, the doep iutorost manifested In this cleo:
Of this city, is perfectly logltimnte. 4 certain
class Of our people hayo secured q pledge from
Judge Craig. III consideration OF their yotos
that 10 will decide, It oleoted, all
questions that come before him no.
cordiug to their directions Inns Mr.. scammon
also got On assurance that II ha school fund and
tax-hghting operations come before the Court.
Judge Craig will do all he eau to lot our dlstin-
gutuhod citizen go "uuwhpt Of jugsico." Mr:
5camnop ia striving by, legal aluiibble to set
the untod States Court to permit him to grab
e5o, 900 from tho poor policy-holdora Of tue Mu-
tual Security Insurance Company. Other "waya
that are dark" aud tho pressing necessity OF d
few moro subscribers from bis "stalo aud IN"
profitable" newspaper haunt hig droems. III
honest courts he secs M appalling ghost and
cries in despair ':rske any other shape but that.
Poor 9camnon JUSTICE.
