to the honor Of Inc Judge.
Since his secession TO the bench. he has stead.
lily risen in tho estimation OF the bar and the
people, for his honest, fair discharge of his du-
ties, and his freedom from the political prejudice
which has stained the ermine OF SO many of his
brethren. Especially does no deserve this COM
mendstlon because he has repeatedly had to come
in conflict with the party 10 which he belongs
End 20 which he owes his elevation. This was

If it be revolutionary to provide that
the money appropriated for the army shall
not be diverted to improper use of the
military arm of the government, why was
it not revolutionary when the republicans
refused to vote money or supplies if Kan
sas was visited by the army. Have our
republican friends forgotten their action
10 the Kansas matter2 This cry of revo-
luton is but shallow pretext to cover the
real animus of republican opposition. The
real reason why they refuse to vote for the
prohibition of troops at the polls,is because
it is only by arbitrarily prostituting the
army to political purposes that the republi-
cans hope to succeed. 1t is the same with
the judicial expenses bill, which forbids
payment to federal supervisors and deputy
marshsls. The democrats are in accord
with the people in both of these measures
and can afford to wait for the justification
that will come when, in 1880, the people
will be called upon to render verdict.
There will be no back down on the part OF
the democracy-there has been mono. On
