a Call for the Judgeshjp rendered
Him by the Democracy Of Chippewa
County.

SOuhtJs
From tn Eau Claire Fea Press.
Rumor has been current for a considerable
/ time that Eau Claire was 10 lose one of her
citizens and LAWYERS and that he would take
up his residence at Chippewa Falls. OF
course there was very little credence given TO
! II, as the rumor pointed TO w F. Bailey as
the man. Al hough it was generally under
/ stood that Mr. Bailey felt sore at his over
wh.lming defeat for Dist. Attorney last fall
nevertheless from the extensive practice he
HIS in this c,ty, few could see any object in
the change of residence, especially in pc
cuniary point. True to a man Of Bai'ev's as
pIrations and ambitions there is another as
! pee; TO the case.
Chippewa county is put down as a Demo
cratic county, and it would open up a field
for leadership in bis party which he does not
have in a Republican county like Eau Claire,
/ and ls it is generally understood that money
making ne regards as of secondary consider
alton 20 political honOrs. 5he change of resi- >
dence would be right in his hands Such are
the comments pro and con.
However, the matter is assuming some
thhg OF a definite shape Itis asserted with
emphasis that Mr. Bailey goes to
Chippewa Falls and will become the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Juigeship in that
district. Two or three meetings have already
been held in that place, and we are told that
the candidacy has been rendered him, and
that he will accept. We understand be is
making arrangements to move at the earliest
possible period
Mr. Bailey ought to know his own business
candidrcy isone thing and an election an
other. His candidacy will make three in
that district, to-wit: Hon II. D. Barron.
Judge Clough and w. F. Bailey The latter
could hardly expect an election without con
soldating the whole Democratic vote, which
there is little likelihood that he can do
Gould he do this, with the Republican vote
divided on Judge Clough and Barron. then
there would be possibility of his slipping
in. This, however seems out of question, as
the leading Democrats are already to a great
extent committed TO one or the other of the
opposing candidates.
Hence, it seems to us he is getting rather
FAST counting his chickens before they are
hatched and the Judicial Bench which he
doubtless thinks he is already to grasp, we
are inclined to believe will prove mirage;
when he reaches out to fold il to his bosom it
wontfold worth cent, it will be shadow
without "A substance, phantom from the
over created imaginations of his friends
Well, there IS rather novel aspect to the
affair, that is, the Importation Of a man from
| Eau Claire to embrace Judicial honors at
Chippewa Falls
The article of import so far as the law is
concerned is good Bailey is a thorough
lawyer, and doubtless viii be able to succeed
ia the practice at that place. But then the
Bench he viii not be able to climb on to this
team. Take easy, Bailey Don't hurry,
YOU see those fellows up there have long ago
clicked the blarnev stone"
Hence, YOU shonld tell Louis Vincent that
he may as well look around and Aent that res
idence to someone else.
