We concluded to wait, for if we left
our present position and gained the

over the horizon were of a lovely pur-

JUDICIAL.

We publish to-day call for an INDIE
pendent Judicial Convention" to meet at
this CITY on May first. This call has been
asked for by many persons from all parts
of the district, of all parties who are ia
vorable to a non-partisan Judiciary. The
call is timely and will meet with hearty
endorsement from those who believe the
selection of Judges should be kept as far
removed from politics as possible. Really
there is great Importance attached to these
Judicial elections. The lives, property
and good name of every citizen is IN q
measure placed in their keeping. A
doubtful or corrupt judge is above all mis-
fortunes the greatest. - Gdtes6otrg Press.
A correspondent of the above pape
writes on this subject, as follows:
Men honestly differing in opinion are
entitled to the respect of even those they
disagree with, though in politics respect is
unknown for rival In national affairs
national issues should be presented, but
what has the New York Custom House
appointment or national currency to de
with the election of Circuit Judges In the
Tenth Judicial District of Illinois.
1t has always been the opinion Of tht
best statesmen and politicians that Judges
should be selected without regard to creed
politics or party. Their election or re-
election should not be dependent upoI
party nomination, and partisan support.
The best lawyers of this State hav
passed resolution to the same effect an,
they pledged themselves in the State Asso
citation, at Springfield, last January, to es
chew politics in judicial nominations, bu
when the time draws near we observe tina
some of the same members who voted fo
such resolution publishing calls for part
