The judicial Election.

of this State that in the election of
Judges of the Supreme Court ell par
tisan considerations are ignored.
That this is good and true policy
requires no argum snt to prove. ACT.
ing on this principle, Judge Orsamus
Cole who has honorsbly served near
ly "a years on the Supreme Bench,
and is in the height of his prime, was
requested by large majority of the
last legislature to become candidate
for reelection. The signers to the
call EN- braced. as should be the case,
men of all shades of political opinion.
Bat il seems certain Democratic
managers were not content with
this non.partisan way of electing
Supreme Judges, so they have called
out o Democratic candidate in tho
person of Judge Co.hren. The great
merit to be claimed for him is, not
that he is superior man to Judge
Coie,-for indeed such Q comparison
would hardly be sttempted-but that
he is q Democrat. Any such at.
tempt 20 introduce partisan politics
toto the make up of the Supreme
Bench should be frowned down ct
the start By ail intelligent we'll
meaning citizens. Last spring we
voted for Judges Taylor and Orion,
one Democrat and the other Re.
publican. Both were elected for
their respective positions by q non.
partisan movement entered into by
both parties for the purpose CT elm.
mating as much as possible all party
politics from the election. They
were voted for alike. by Republicans
and Democrats. We hardly think
this new departars will meet with
much favor iron sensible Democrats,
