any who could have reasonable objection against
him. He has been upright and fearless judge, and

Office and IL Is to be hoped that the TO retain
him there will be so overwhelming hilate any
opposing forces that endeavor obstruct the will or
ihe law and order loving portion OF the community.
The attitude Of the criminal classes before they wero
taught lesson by Recorder Haekett bold and do
haDt they crouch before the law for personal ex-
pcrience has convinced many Of them that retrbution
swift and sure and others deferred by the punish

Mr. John Q. Hoyt, Vice President OF the New York
and Boston Railway, said thai he pleased to have
opportunity 70 record his approval Of the or
Recorder Hackett NHe has treated the criminal
classes Just right he said, and be expressed
his earnest hopes that a 50 omi-
remain In The salutary terror that he had
inspired IN evil doors could not be overestimated and
q man would have be a very close observer
tec tho difference between the comparative safety "
the after nighfal and the scenes fire.
The heavy sentences inflicted BY Recorder Hacket upon
burglars and garroters had not only cleared the
metropolis Of many desperate characters, but had
warned many woud-be criminals Of the fate that
awaited them II they did not abandon their eVu de-
signs
Mr.. Henderson Benedict, member or the legal pro-
fession OF the opinion that II Recorder Backett
failed be reelected would be construed indi-
that his sustained BY the citizens
II would be positive encouragement 10 criminals, and
they would hold high jubilee what they would not
hesitate consider the downfall OF their worst enemy,
the man whom they hate and fear most Of ALL MIR.
Hacketts name a. Recorder said Mr. Benedict rs Of
itself a sufficient TO the business men and
peaceful artisans Of New York that the rights
Of property and person will be protected, and
that those who compelled to be out
ri times late AZ night or early In the morning may

IN great measure, in diminishing the number Of
crimes committed against the person and highway rob
berries are Of comparatively occurrence now. To
this happy state q things Recorder Hacketts fearless
ness and upright Interpretation or tho law has In no
small measure contributed he ought 70 be re- elected
and In my opinion he will be.
