Very Cool.
Milwaukee, News.

The GOODNESS with which the repub-
liean organs claim Judge Cole MS n
non PARTISAN candidate is refreshing.
1t is we'll known that he is support
cd by every republican newspaper
III the state. The movement calling
him out originated with the repub-
lican members of the legislature,
and was endorsed by thcrcpubhcan
state committee, Every political
wirc-pullcr in the republican party
from Boss Reyes down 10 Little
Fink, supports Mr. Cole, and still
these virtuous gentlemen called up
on democrats to vote for him on the
ground that he is n non-partisan
candidate. Wait until these gen
tlemcn elect him, il they should be
successful III doing that, and see
how their tune will change, and
what peans Of victory will he sung
by them over their republican tri-
umph. Keep politics out Of judicial
elections and all these men support
ing Judge Cole! Nonsense, as well
try to keep tho devil out Of hell.
We trust democrats will not be fool.
cd by the deceitful cries Of these
wirc-pullers, but vote for Montgo-
merry NJ. CothEn, the true penplc's
candidate, Il good sound democrat
and a worthy man.
