The five gentlemen put IN nomination yesteI
day By the Republican Convention for Judge
Of the Circuit Court are ult we'll known In thi
! city.
Judge Williams, who at present occupies q
seat upon the Bench, was elected in 1868 to fiji
the vacancy caused by the death Of Judg,
Manierre, was reelected for stx-year term il
1867, and sgain elected in 1878.
Judge Booth, long Professor at the Law
School IN this city, was elected in 1873, and ha.
served most acceptably.
Charles H. Reed has long been before the pub
lie eye, owing to bis continued service as States
and reelected without opposition in 1858, and
again In 1872. In 1876 be was candidate fo1
denomination before the Republican Convention,
but was defeated By small majority BY Dir.
Mills, the present Incumbent.
Mr. Julius Rosenthai Is also remarkably veil
held, apart from being member OF the LibarY
Board, has been that Of Public Administrator,
whose duties he has performed for long time
without any person ever lifting up his voice to
make complaint against HIN. he has perhaps
broader knowledge Of the science OF law than
any OF the candidates on either the Republican
or the Democratic ticket. Thanks 10 part to the
better training which one receives ut the Ger
man 1aw-schools, he ia about as much at home
in civil and canonical as in common law. he

yad VIII the bS Ubicsgo Law Institute, :uHs he be
has tue acquaintance and friendship Of all the
lawyers, and Will secure their united support.
He is the only candidate to whom nomination
came unsought. Two years ago he was clndi-
date before the Convention Tor Judge OF the
Probate Court, but was defeated This time,
however, the honor has been conferred without
solicitation either on his owu par: or that Of his
O. %.m fc
Rosenthaps nomination is looked upon as q
stroug one. He Is q German and an lsraelite,
neither OF which classes has ever received recog-
milton, as far as judicial nominations are con-
cerned. and will receive their entire support.
Ira ". Buell. arrived in Chicago ia 1856, and
has devoted the m4ior portion Of the time to
the practice Of the law. He has, however, held
two offices, having been elected q Supervisor In
North Chicago during the Lincoln campaign of
1860. The following year he was nominated for
aud elected. He VAS renominated for this office
in 1862 on the Holden ticket, but was not sue
cessiul In 1869 Mr. Buell. was again nominated
for the CitY-Attorneyship By unanimous vote
OF the Convention which put him up, which WAS

great fire occurring, ind party lines for the
time being H1ped out by and #11t was kuo"u as
the Fire-Proof ticket being placed before the
people, Mr.. Buell. declined the honor Ut the
nomination offered him. Since that time he has
been engaged in the practice OF the law in part
nership with Joseph 4. Barker.
The ticket thus put ia the field met yesterday
with general approval among the Republicans,
and was looked on with fear by Democrats as
being more dangerous one than they had ex-
pected. They expressed the opinion that it
united so many elements Of strength as to
make the success OF their ticket, which they
had once hoped for, questionable, and some Of
them were even doubling whether it was posi-
bic for them to elect more than one, Of at the
most two, Of their Judges.
