1t is said that the Judges OF the Supreme
Court are opposed to having anything to do
with the countiog Of the electoral vote for the
reason that, though they might perform that
duty honestly and faithfully, they would Ca
turally be suspected OF being Influenced By their
political opinions, which suspicion would de-
tract from the ialicial character of the court.
The partisan opinion of the election so gibly
aud garrulousIy expressed to a newspaper re.
porter lately by Justice Miller, would certainly
warrant the suspicion Of the potent effect Of
political influence 90 the courts decision, but
whether that suspicion would detract from the
judicial character of court posed OF such
members as Justice Miller, is exceedingly
doubtful
