From the Duluth M,nnesotian, Nay "a.
During the coming aummer the Republic
can party of tho Seventh Judicial District
will be called upon to place in nomination
. suitable person a. candidate for Judge
to succeed the term Of the present incum-
bent, Hon. James NJ. MoKelvy.
While tho district, which extends over
such ayast territory, contains many law
yers Of ability, and not few. whose pecu-
liar traits Of legal learning lean towards
that singular construction Of mind,
patient in hearing, quick in conception,
ready to pronounce, and with calm dis
elimination render satisfactory oonclus-
ions upon the many vexsd questions which
in ordinary practice are daily presented to
the lawyer.
But in extending our view over tho many
countied embraced in the District, We dis
cover No one person moro sminently fitted
for the position Of Judge thereof, than the
present incumbent. And while ambitious
gentlemen in different parts Of the district
may seek for the honor and dignity Of this
office, it is always Of tho first importance
in making selection for position Of such
high trust, to inquire whether Or not there
are indubitable reasons for q change Of .
worthy occupant Of such position, also,
very palpable motives for making sue
cessor Of an untried person. While We ad-
nit that all elective Offices are free to
any qualified sspirsnt, and that it il not an
evidence Of wisdom to suppose tina: partio-
ular Offices are created for particular men
only, yet from tho universal appreciation
Judge McKslvy has met with BY the Nom
bers Of the bar, who have had tho pleasure
ofpracticlng befors him, and the very high
esteem he is held in by the people who fro
quent his courts; stamp him 1t once Is tho
most populsr and meritorious candidate
thst could possibly b. presented for such
efics, % tho peoples choice.
: Judge McKelvy is lawyer who has made
q high reputation for himself ~ . Judge
during his present term Of efice. His To-
gal opinions are respected q being just
and equitable, and 80 fair indeed, that but
few contestants deem further review from
his decisions worth pursuing; but Is sp.
peals have been taken in many cases, it
may be sald to the credit Of his attain-
ments, that but in few instances have his de-
oisions been reversed or modified. And
because Of the learning Of tho Judge, We
can lily afford 10 lose in tho next seven
years, the benefit Of his ripeain9 expsr-
ienee. KS, - .....~. u. -: -:
Personally, Juds. MeKelvy ID s.ntle-
man kind and generous In hissocial habits,
sad il 80 constituted that his sc%asintanees
soon become his lasting friends, throug ii
that psouliarity Of grace which makes hin
| noble man. Not only is he > quiet gen.
tlemau in the peaceful pursuits Of life, but
he has shown his country true deeds Of pa
triotism in the field Of carnage while lead
ing Company I, Seventh Regin ent Of Min
nesota Volunteers, in =. gallant charge
against the advancing rebels at Nashville,
where he fell wounded, and was carried
from tho field. 49,
We feel it incumbent on % Is duty and
pleasure We owe the gentleman, tho soldi
the Judge, in common with our fellow citi-
Gems At large. to place him before the per-
| ty and tho people of his district for renom-
NATION to tho Office which he now hns with
modesty, dignity and unquestioned ability.
