MR.. wALL1Nss NOMINATION.
Opinions Of the Press.

This gentleman, who received the
nomination for Judge Of this judicial
district last week at the New Ulm con.
vention, is personly known to most Of
our readers, and We think none will
dispute his qualifications for the posi-.
ton. He is . graduate Of the law de.
partment of the Michigan University,
one Of the best in the country, and has
for some ten years past beep practicing
law in this State. He has during this
time followed up closely the study Of
his profession, and 10 far as his knowl-
edge eff the law and practice in Mime.
sota are concerned, as we'll a. oharac-
ter for fairness and honor ere concern
ed, it must be admitted that he will
make an excellent Judge.
The nomination Of Mr.. Wallin,
though not the first choice of Nicollet
county, Was rendered him BY the con-
vention without the exercise Of any un-
fair means on his part, and he is most
certainly entitled to the full vote of his
party. With that he will be elected
BY 1900 majority, He is entitled to
that, and let Us give it to him.-CSt.
Peter Tribune.
Alfred Wsllin is to be our next dis.
trict judge There seems to be an al
most universal satisfaction in Lyon Co.
with his nomination, aud the conven.
tion adjourned after the 24th ballot
with good feeling all around. We will
speak more Of Mr.. Wallin hereafter.-
{ Marshall Messenger.
The nominee is an old resident Of
the State, eminently qualified for the
position, and undoubtedly will be
elected. 1t is understood that Il. St.
Julien Cox, Of St. Peter, will probably
be the democratic candidate.-T Hast.
inss Gazette.
Mr.. Wallin is probably the ablest
lawyer in the district, q gentleman Of
integrity, and will make an able judge.
-CMankato Review.
Alfred Wallin, of Redwocd d county;
has been nominated over all competi-
tors for the position of Judge Of the
Ninth Judicial District. We imagine
this to be a real downright good selec-
tion. We have never met Mr.. Wallin
but once-he was chairman Of the Con
gressional convention at Red Wing
last fall-but upon that occasion We
were very favorably impressed with
both his ability and his character as a
gentleman.-Lake City Leader.
By the proceedings published in
another column, it will be seen that
the Republicans Of this Judicial dis
trict have selected Alfred Wall,n Esq.
Of Redwood Falls, as their candidate
for the high and important Office Of
Judge. While We have favored the
nomination of Mr.. Wallin from the
FIRST, we confess that at times, his
chances appeared small as against
those Of the other candidates, and we
can only remark that it appears as
though the people Of this district had
been prompted 10 such action as they
have taken, be the feelings which ac-
tuated Lord Bacon when no said, "lf
any one sues to be made judge, for my
part, l should suspect him." Mr..
Wallin has neither had the means, nor
the desire, to press his claims With
that degree Of persistency which the
other candidates have done, but the
people Of this district have every rea.
son to congratulate themselves over
the result.-[New Ulm Herald.
"As a citizen, and a member Of the
bar, We feel the greatest satisfaction
over the result and know that in Mr..
Wallin, whose election is almost Ger:
tain, the people Of this district have
secured for this most important Office =
gentleman eminent for his qualifca.
tions, aud who is not only at home in
the practice and subtle technicalities
of the law, but one whose good charac.
ter is embelished by culture and the
enlarged beauties of classical learning. !"
