sometimes been the case. various
names have been presented and can.
vassed in connection with the several
o6ces 70 be filed, and this Is emin-
emily proper in order that intelligent
action nay Be taken by the people
and rejected in the nominating con-
senti00s.
Capability and honesty are the de-
siderats in locking for candidates.
These being settled, availability can
properly come in. We shall, there
fore continue the mention, which has
been made from time to TIM, 10 those
whose ability and fitness for State
and Other ol6oes are personally known
Or vouched for by Others in position
to know, and upon whose judgment
reliance may be placed.
The Judicial Convention will have
TO plsce in nomina3im casdidstes for
District Judge and Prosecuting At
torney. Little has been said concern
ing either Of these nominations in the
papers Of the District, but We under
stand it 70 be generally conceded that
the former nomination will be unaD-
imously rendered TO the present M
cumbent, Judge Rothrock. Such
distinguished and exceptional consid-
eration could hardly be shown to m
unworthy object, and especially after
having been before the public in IN
Important and trying capacity for 80
many year, Other things being
equal, al admit the value Of expert
enoe to N occupant Of the bench, and
the inadvisability Of frequently chan

judicial ermine. For Dissrics Atsor-

Lane and Hiram Price have both
been mentioned, but not with any
assurance that either would accept
the nomination if rendered. Indeed,
it seems 70 be generally understood
that they will not, but either would
make leader Of whom any party
might be proud. We had supposed
that Cedsr county was going TO be

Mr.. Tufts has been three times elect

he now holds seat, and has made
