suitable person 10 receive the Republican uomna.

our testimony 10 that of Others who have arrived at
this conclusion,
Mr.. Murphy is not only well qualified for thi.
position, but he |. man OF such sterling honesty
and ireproachablc merit, that hi nomination would
add strength 10 the Republican ticket in every
county embraced by the Southern Grand Division
OF the supreme Court jurisdiction. If Mr.. Murphy
will accept, let him he nominated by all means"
If the Republicans are determined to
risk forlorn hope next fall in this Grand
Division they could not select a more gal
liant leader than Mr.. Murphy. Few men of
his age are as fortunate in the character Of
their friendships. Among US, where he has
resided the greater part of his life, he is
universally esteemed and respected. He is
manly, honest, broad in his views and sen.
sible in his application of them; in short he
has all the traits which usually distinguish
good Democrats, and it has always puzzled
us to reconcilein him so much that is mcrito-
rious with his unfinching Republican SIN.
His personal friends among the Democrats
arelcgion, and they will regret to man the
sense of duty which will compel them to
vote against clever gentleman in order to
administer finishing blow to an organiza-
tion honored by his membership.
