Nomination for Iircuis Judge.
tFrom the Mineral Point Tribune

from the Mineral Point Tribuae
The gentleman, whom the Repub-
lican Judicial Convention has named
for the important Office OF Judge OF
The 9Th Judicial Circuit, is not only
possessed of the most ample qualifi-
cations tor the place, but also one
whose character in every respect is
above suspicion.
Mr.. Carter has been resident o:
Wisconsin from early boyho I'd, and
through arduous study, in-spite OF
many unfavorable circumstances, en-
tirely dependent upon himself from
earliest manhood, has attained an
eminence in this profession where he
is rivalled by but few and transcend
ed by no member OF the remarkably
able bar of this Circuit.
Besides superior legal ability Mr..
Carter possesses the other essentials
to the make up of a good Judge
such as integrity beyond question,
mnd we'll stored with general infor-
nation, auickness of perception,
promptness of action, moral courage
TO do his duty without fear or favor,
the most circumspect personal habits,
and dignified bearing calculated to
grace anu adorn the highest court in
the land.
From the Lafayette County Republican,
Our readers well know that Mr..
Carter was not our first choice, but
there being number of able aud
talented men, whose friends urged
them on the convention, some must
necessarily be disappointed, and 80
we cheerfully and willingly submit to
the expressed wishes OF majority
Of the delegates, and shall give Mr..
Carter our hearty support. Our per-
sonal acquaintance with the gentle
man has been slight, and We cannot
speak of him from our own knowi-
edge, but only Of the enviable reputa-
ton he has attained during the long
year of residence in this district.
Those who have known him the most
intimately and the longest speak OF
his legal ability, his honesty, and his
untiring industry in the very highest
terms. He is a gentleman who pos
sesses pleasing address, an affable
manner, and OH short acquaintance
| makes warm friend; this was evident
at the convention. We bespeak for
Mr. Carter a warm support, not from
republicans alone, but from all who
desire to maintain a pure and an able
Judiciary.
| (From the Muscoda Neacs)
VIM. K. Carter has been resi-
dence of Grant county for over
twenty years. He studied law under
J. Allen Barber, and afterwards went
AZ clerk into the law office of S. 0.
Pane OF Platteville, who soon took
him in as partner. On the death OF
the latter some time after, Mr.. Carter
succeeded to the business, and since
then has been on the rise. His repu'
tation as a superior Office clerk foi
care and thoroughness of work secnr
ed his admittance into Pines office
| and the same features have marked
his career in ensuing years. He
practices now in all the courts, and
from all we can gather bears an un-
sullied name for integrity and fair
ness, and he is deemed one of the
best read lawyers in the State. tie
~, however, not an adept at making
friends, and champion of his re-
marked at the convention that ''i
| Carter was nominated nothing but his
ability would affect 1.-THE highest
compliment, in our opinion, that could
have been paid him.
| From the Arena Starr
The Republican Judicial Conven
ton, held at Muscoda on Tuesday
last, nominated VIM. K. Garter o.
Platteville on the 4Sth ballot. The
convention was exceedingly harmon
ious, considering the number of can.
lldates before it, there being no less
than eight, excluding Moses NJ
Strong, who was also represented
receiving ons vote on the 35th ballot
Mr.. Carter is highly spoken of as a
leading lawyer and very strong can.
,lidate in many respects the strong
est that could have been named in
this circuits He will no doubt be
elected by large majority, "Moses'
Notwithstanding.
From the Dodgeville Chronicle
After due consideration, we are
free to say that we don't see how the
Muscoda convention could have done
a better thing than it did in nominal
ing VIM. K. Garter for Circuit Indge.
Mr. Carter is lawyer of conspicuous
ability, ga gentleman and scholar
aud there is no question that he will
discharge the duties of the Office to
the very satisfaction OF both the bar
and the people. We are proud 10
support him as a candidate of our
party but aside from this, as citi
zen desiring only the welfare Of the
community, we support him as man
eminently worthy of the important
