Judicial Election.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
WISCONSIN.
At caucus of the Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature and many
others, held ut the Capitol on the
evening OF February 10th, 1870 the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
RESOLVED, That we respectfully re-
quest the Hon. M. M. Cothren, Judge
OF the Fifth Circuit, to permit his
name to go before the people or THIS
State rs u candidate for associate j us
tice of the Supreme Court, to be voted
at this coming Spring Election O87W /;
and we recommend that our State
Central Committee make him such
candidate.
The Hon. Montgomery NJ. Cothreh
has resided In Wisconsin since the
year 1913; has long been intimately
amp thoroughly identified with the
material and political interests OF the
State has frequently held positions OF
official trust; Is u lawyer Of distin-
guished ability and IL u citizen who
enjoys In Il pre-cmincnt degree the es-
TEEN and confidence Of all those with
whom he lives. Judge Cothrcn, from
the year 1852 to 1864, lnclusiye,a per-
Tod of twelve consecutive years, was
Circuit OF the Circuit In which he
now resides. In the spring OF 1915 ne
was again elected Judge Of the same
Circuit, running rs mn independent
candidate. receiving an overwhelming
majority over two distinguished com
petitors. This Is the judicial record OF
Judge Cothren, showing him to be u
man OF great experience and ability
iii the inc OF his profession; while
the purity of his private life has III
ways been such ~ to endear him to
all with whom he has associated.
In compliance with the foregoing
resolution, and on behalf Of the state
Central Committee, | take pleasure in
presenting to the snifragcN Of The pao-
pie ut the ensuing Spring Election, as
as candidate for the position OF Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
the name Of the Hon. Montgomery M.
Cothren, and respectfully request that
our friends everywhere use MI honor
able means to secure his triumphant
election.

Iifo iidDlIS vi ITcdJlllS the properly
Of the public. The indifference of
the average politician to the dis
position that is made of funds be-
longing to the public the creation
Of needless offices to be maintained
by the public treasury, in order
that places may be found for polit-
ical favorites ; the variety of per-
quisites that appertain to many
public places the legalized plumber
of the treasury under the name of
"back-salary"-all these are symp-
toms Of malady that has been
insiduously creeping through the
veins and poisoning the life-currents
of the nation. True, its vigor is
not yet seriously impaired, and it
gives no signs of dissolution for
thanks to the early statesmen its
youth was wonderfully robust.
True, its resources are so great that
enormous drains upon its treasury
cannot impoverish it. But while
it can afford the loss of much
wealth through the acts of unscru-
pulous officials, it can not afford the
loss of moral stamina in its citizens.
Let us make slight change in a
motto largely quoted at one time in
our early history, and say, Millions
for the promotion Of the general
welfare of the nation or defense
of her honor, but not one cent for
the rehabilitation of her servants
or citizens.
But the public life of Washing
ton and his contemporaries was not
a record for the guidance of states
men alone, Under our institutions
responsibility extends further than
to those in official station. Official
dishonesty exists, wherever it may
be found, on account of the igno-
rapce or indifference of the citizen.
Men who have never held, and
have never aspired to public po-
sitions can not, for this, or any
other reason, be absolved from the
duties which pertain to every mem
Der Of a community that aims at
self-government. 1t is undenial
that eternal vigilance " the price
of liberty )" and it must be exer-
cised by the masses Of the people.
If the honesty and integrity of
of primitive times are to be re-
stored ! if the ulcers that have been
suffered to corrupt the blood of the
RepnbG c are to be removed if
ambit6n to serve the public is to be
substituted for ambition to secure
the spoils; then ignorance must be
prevented by the institution and
careful conservation Of every means
for ditlusing knowledge-especially
that kind acknowledge that prepares
for the duties Of citizenship and
Indifference to the character of pub
lie men and public measures must
be overcome by all the means which
can induce in citizens u feeling of
personal responsibility in the affairs
of the government. Our nation
may survive the wars that may be
waged against her from without or
the treason that may assail from
within All this she has done, and
has emerged triumphant from every
contest. But the indifference of the
the people or their neglect of public
affairs she cannot survive.

This IL the first time In sew
"eral years that position on tho
"Supreme Bench has been made Il
political matter Of. and many Dem
"ocrats are among those who regret
"tbat Cothren lends himself TO the
"cause OF political truncheon-lourish-
GERS, whose only object IL to advance
"partisan schemes"
It's unnecessary to inform readers
Of the DEMOCRAT who is the author
ofthe above sentence. Republicans
here condemn the uncalled for attack
upon Judge Cothren and his friends
rs inexcusablo even in ono who
deems IL his duty to at all times
serve his political masters,
Democrats have just as much
right TO ask for the nomination and
election of Judge Cothron, NJ the
Republicans have to demand the re-
election of Judge Cole.
But Judge Cothren has been
called out for Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, not because he
is n Democrat, but because he is
prominently qualified for the Of
lice; because the people Of the
State have long recognized his dis
tinguished ability and fitness for
the position and because his cleo
ton will add strength and dignity
to the Supreme Bench by placing
upon il ono of the ablest iurists Of
the country. The Fifth Judicial
Circuit can testify to his merits us
sjudge.
Wo have no doubt that the people
Of Wisconsin will give evidence Of
their appreciation of his ability and
peculiar fitness for the office 10y
clecting him by an overwhelming
majority.
Judge Cole, the man whose re-
election is asked for by his friends,
has never disguished himself upon
the Bench, is aman of but mediocre
ability, and there is no good reason
why he should be reelected at this
time. The only reason that is at
tempted to DO given for his re-
election is n partizan ono, namely,
that the election of Judge Cothren
would give the Democrats three out
Of the five Justices Of the Supreme
Court Coles ability and fitness
for the office is not 50 much urged
as an excuse for attempting togive
Thin n life-lease of the office, as
is the fact that he is Il Republican.
But we believe that the attempt of
hirelings Of his party to deludc the
people will prove 4 failure.

THE MINING OUTLOOK.

Never before in the history of Ari- znna, has the mining industry locked more hopeful than at the present time. Mines that have been abandoned for want of proper machinery to develop them and make them yield with pro- lit, are now again being worked New mines are discovered, and those that are now yielding ore, have received q new impetus. The old Fulture mine that in times past has yielded her thousands, and then abandoned on accornt of mismanagement and the enormous cost of reduction, is once worked with energy and vigor, and but few short weeks will eiapse, ere the sound of forty stamps will be heard crushing it's gold bearing ore Since this property came into the new hands, new mines have beer lo- cated and the pick and drill are busy in their development IL is stated that the mines in the Cave Creek Dis trict will be opened soon and under etter auspices. The Tiger, Tip-Top, P eek and other noted mines in the Bradshaw Mountains. are daily send ing a stream ct bullion hitherward The, noted Silver King, in Pinal ty, has uncovered d rich bonanza and great developm ents are expected 
 no longer mere prospect holes, but velns of permanency and richness Mohave county, which for years has lain dormant for the want of capital to develop her resources, has al last succeeded in enlisting aid. Mills and hoistirg works are being constructed and work will be resumed on the Me Crackin and Cedar Valley mines The mines in the Aztec, Tyndall, Ari- vaca and Tombstone districts, show unmistakably that they exist ih true Assure vein formation, and their rich ness undisputed. The southeastern portion of the Territory contains very rich mines and the shipments of bull ion will be largely increased. A few years ago machinery and supplies were hauled several hundred miles and at great cost and loss of Ii nc, but since the advent Of the railroad in the Territory, distance for freighting on teams has been reduced. and the cost of transportation has been materially Icsscned. The bullion yield Tor th c the present year will far exceed that of any other time, and in a few years we will rank as No. in its produc- ton. Men of capital from Inc East crn States are taking hold of mining propcrty in this Territory, and are proceeding in the only legitimate way of getting returns-by develop ing their property.
