meeting held on the evening of the Sth ult.,
the Democracy called their idol ''to the fore"
and insisted on his addressing them-think
ing probably that his saying few remarks
might satisfy the few who thought as the
hole county will think that his nomination
was nothing short of an insult and a disgrace
lot only to the party but to the district and
the JaIiciary. Well William proved HIM
ST equal TO the occasion. He came for
ward without blush, and, after clearing his
throat Of a frog or two, spoke in the follow
ing digniied manner, instead of sneaking
home and hiding his head in bag as he
certainty should have done
Mir President, Gentleman, and Fellow
Citizcns-Not being at the Convention last
night | come here in person to ratify the
proceedings myself. l DO not expect, dur
ing the canvas, 10 make any political
speeches. | expect and am determined TO
takc my position upon the ticket nominated
as Judge Of this Judicial District, and stand
cr fall with it. And, Us [ said before, I
DO not propose to 60 through the county
and mix politics with the judiciary of this
district. If elected [ shall endeavor to
sarve you with the best Of my ability. The
next speech l presume [ shall make will
he in judicial capacity as the judge Of this
district
IF that was not displaying the very quin-
tessence of check, we are at a loss to under
stand just what that commodity is. But
then it was Democracy and that, in Wayne
county as well as elsewhere, covereth a
multitude of sin.
