The nomination of Hon. L. s. Sherman
for Common Pleas Judge meets with gem
eral favor and presages an elevation of the
bench of the district. His mature age, ripe
experience and successful practice and gen
eral reputation and standing, give him a
place in the front rank of his profession, in
the State. His mental endowments are
happily fitted for his work, and his study
and application keepshim even with the
advance Of the times. He will be credit
to the bench, and the pride of his friends
and fellows. His career upon the bench
will be watched with deep interest, and
with an abiding faith that the impress that
Shan be given by his election, shah not be
dimmed by any future Indifference to its
dignity and consideration. baa
