in his place. The result Of this proceeding
has been the nomination Of the following


has been the nomination of the following
opposing tickets:
Repvb,tcnn. Democratic.

The first two names on each ticket are
those Of members Of the present Bench OF
Judges. The attempt to degrade and insult
Judges WILLIAMS and BooTu because they
have different political opinions from tnoseo1
their associates, MoA111sTER and ROGERS, IS
an outrage upon the moral sense OF the puo-
Lie which should be resolutely and emphat~
ically rebuked ut the polls by the reelection
Of these two gentlemen.
The Democrats demand the election, BE-
sides that Of MoAI11srER and ROGERS, OF
three other Democrats, ,-Tu1EY, MORAN, and
BARsuM How fit MIR. TULEY is for q judi
cial Office, and the temper and spirit which
he will take to the Bench with him, is strong
ly indicated by the fierceness with which ne
compelled Mayor HARRISON to discharge
HA1sAsE from the Sewer Department, be-
pose to vote for his lifelong friend, Judge
WILLIAMS. Suitors who might have voted
against Tu1EY would have nice time when
they had case to be tried before Judge
TuLEY. The smallest and moanest man that
ever acted as Justice Of the Peace would not
have discharged workman for such cause
Justice BANyoN would not have. solled his
ermino by hunting down any man who had
voted against him.
E. MessrE. BAnNUM and MORAN represent the
principles of partisan Judiciary. They are
the representatives of that sentiment ex-
pressed in the cry, "Put no man in judi
cial Office who is not Democrat. Their
candidacy is the outgrowth Of the CAUCUS, OF
the bar-room primary, the packed conVen-
ton, and the political slums. Instead of
relying on their personal and professional
responsibility and fitness, they present as
their credentials the nomination Of party
CAUCUS signed by DGvE THORNTON and the
gang whose names are odiously familiar es
the operators of Democratic primary meet
ings. They appeal for votes as Democrats
not as lawyers aud gentlemen; they sink all
other qualifications under that Of pure and
unadultorated Democracy; and the voters OF
this city should teach them TINT this is an
election for Judges, and not for partisan
leaders.
MIR. RosExTHAL and Mr. BUELL. are candi-
dates named by the machinery Of the
Republican party because Of the Democratic
resolve not to cooperate with the Repub~
licans in the election Of Judges. Mr..
RosENrHAris is ono of the best scholars and
best-read men in Chicago, one Of the fairess
and most conscientious men, and lawyer
of rare ability. Mr. BUELL. is also gentle
man of unblemished moral and professional
character, one who has at times taken an
active part in politics, but who, if elected,
will not be any less an upright and inde-
pendent Judge. Ex-State's Attorney REED
completes the list of candidates.
We earnestly appeal to the thinking people
Of this county to remember how important
this judicial election is. This life, liberty,
and property Of every man, woman,. and
child depend for protection and preservation
On the fearlessness, Independence, courage,
and integrity of these Judges. They stand
the arbiters between right and wrong; they
maintain the balance between the strong and
the weak; they interpose the law which COM
pels equality in right between rich and poor;
they are the protectors of the widows and
fatherless; they represent in land of law
the law of the land. No man can be indiffez-
ent rs to the character of those who sit in the
courts, Nothing so clearly tests fitness and
capac:t ty in Judge as experience. The man
who has been tried and found faithful, who
has enriched his integrity by ripe expe-
r,ence, who knows his duty to his
GoD and his fel1ow-man, and has
shown the courage and the ability to
perform it, is IN officer who should not be
dismissed by people who love justice, ven
,erate integrity, and reverence truth. We
appeal, therefore, to the people whose iber-
ties and whose properties are at stake to 60 to
the polls tomorrow and vote for Judiciary
which can show an honorable record Of the
past; for Judiciary which will hold courts
and administer the law impartialiy and
when they find candidate seeking votes
upon the plea that he will open ''Demo-
cratic court, where those voting for him can
obtain special favors not obtainable in other
courts, let them vote against such candi-
dates, no matter who they. may~ be, If the
intelligent, moral sense Of the people shall
find an expression at the polls tomorrow,
then Chicago will secure the blessing she
has always enjoyed Of pure and honorable
Judiciary.
