THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION
TODAY.

Public sentiment has always accorded
the judiciary purer atmosphere than tnat
breathed 10y the average politician. To
that sentiment may be ascrbed the law
that places our Judicial elections ut time
when the public mind is least likely be
agitatcd over political issues; and, although
the Electoral Commission gave the scnti-
ment tremendous shock, yet the majority
of voters continue to invest the Judiciary
with "A sacrcdncss that politics are likely to
tarnish when brought in familiar contact
Herewith. But it was thought, in this cir
cult, that, unless Democratic convention
were held the minority party would secure
q majority Of the Judges; and the Demo
cratic masses, with as good grace as pos
sible, acquiesced in that conclusion. OF
course they do not feel and cannot feel a
"gush' Of party zeal in the matter; because
the step is new and unusual one. And
being so, the convention that meets in this
city to-day, must if it expects its nominees
to realize the advantages usually attending
party nominations not fail to place ticket
in the field that will be just, equitable and
fair whether gagged by population, territory,
business, orthe publicneeds. The convention
must not, for instance, give the four coun-
ties, lying on the west side Of the circuit
and containing $4,000 inhabitants, all three
Of the nominees, and give the seven coun-
ties, with their 10000 population, lying on
the river or east side of the circuit, no NOM
inee at all. In other words, the territory
and people embraced within the limits of
Union, jackson, Williamson and Franklin
counties must not take all three Of the
Judges, and leave the larger territory and
larger population embraced within the linn
its Of Alexander, Pulaski johnson Saline
Massac, Pope end Hardin. counties, all ly-
ing in a body, without any Judge at all.
To assure the convention of the improperly
of such thing, it is only necessary we take
it, to call attention to it.
TO unite the party in support of the nomi-
nees, the convention must present ticket
that will be just to all parts Of the circuit;
1t must give to the upper, the central and
southern portions Of the circuit, each,
representative on the ticket, That it ought
to do 50 and will do so, has been the opin-
ion of leading Democrats in all parts of the
district, ever since the call for the conyen-
ton was first issued.
To insure victory we must have harmony
and 70 insure harmony the convention to-
day need but adopt one rule of procedure,
and that is to be guided by the dictates
Of justice and the suggestions of fair deal
ing,

PROTECT THE SYSTEM FROM MALARIA
1t is possible to do this even in regions OF
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic tevcrs which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity Of iIosteter's Stomach
Bitters is very largely attributable to the
fact Of its efficacy as a remedy ior chi.ls
and fever, bilious remittents, and as a
preventive Of the various forms Of
malaria disease In those portions
Of the West and South where complaints of
this nature prevail, and in the Tropics, it is
particularly esteemed for the protective in
tlucncc which it cycrts; and it has been
very widely adopted as a substitute for the
dangerous and comparatively ineffective
alkaloid, sulphate Of quininc. Physicians
have not been among the last to coaccde
its merits, and the emphatic professional
endorsements which 1t has received have
added to the reputation it has obtained at
home and abroad.
