VIM. e. CARTER.
Some Newspaper Opinions of Our
Candidate for County Judge.

The nominee, VIM. e. Carter, is
known to many Of the people of Rich
land county; he is first rate lawyer, Il
man of good ability, temperate, indus
trious and honest, and without doubt
viii make an able Judge. We were
opposed to his nomination, not because
We thought he lacked any requisite
qualifications for good Judge, but be-
cause Grant county, agreeable to GUS
ION, had determined to hold The "of-
flee" in that county. To aid Grant
in this generous policy Richland we
believe contributed her full strength,
aud will no doubt "get her pay" and
in the end win as enviable reputation
as Thompsons colt now has,. -Richland
County Republican.
The Republican Judicial convention,
held at Muscoda onTuesday last, nom
mated VIM. E. Carter of Platteville on
me 18th ballot. The convention was
exceedingly harmonious, considering
the number of candidates before it,
there being no less than eight, exclud-
Jag Moses NJ. Strong, who was also
represented, receiving one vote on the
35th ballot Mr.. Carter is nigh
ly spoken of as leading lawyer and
very strong candidate in many respects
the strongest that could have been
named in this circuit. He will no
-0ubt be elected by large majority,
"Noses" notwithstanding.--A r ena

There is no more capable man in the
District than VIM. E. Carter. He has
grown up from boyhood in our midst,
and we think of him as young man.
But he is in the prime of manhood; in
;4e maturity of mental vigor. He is
about A years of age. He has been
close student all his life; is lawyer
acknowledged ability, and has for
four years had extensive practice in all
the counties in this District, and in the
Supreme Court of the State. His
learning, his talent, his age, all being
IA his favor, what more do the people
want? There is one thing more, and
that is not wanting in Mr.. Carter. He
is known to be as incorruptible as hui
man nature can be. Mr.. Carter will
make judge that the District will be
proud ot.-Grant County Herald.
We never attended a convention
where there was so much apparent d.
vision as to the choice of candidate
al the start, and which ended with as
much good feeling as the convention at
Muscoda. The reason of this very de-
sirabe result is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding every county
had its faforite and stood by him as
long as there was probability of his
nomination, their second choice was for
VIM. X. Carter.
Mr.. c. is well known throughout the
District, having an extensive practice
in every county comprising the circuit.
He is acknowledged to be one of the
best lawyers in the State. He is man
OF irreproachable character, honest. en-
ergetic, industrious, and if elected will
bring to the Bench all the elements
which so to make a frst-class Judge.
