ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

At the ensuing judicial election, to
lie held Oh the first Tuesday in April,
being the first day of said month, there
is to be elected an Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court for the full term of
ten years. commencing on the first
Monday of January next to succeed
the Hon. Orsamus Cole whose current
term upon the Supreme Bench will
then expire. Upon call numerously
signed by prominent men of both the
Republican and Democratic parties,
Judge Cole has consented to the use
of his name us in independent candi-
date for reelection to the position
which he has so long filled with entire
acceptance to the people. Believing
that the judiciary should not be con-
taminated by partisan politics Judge
Cole is not now and has never been a
party candidate for the position which
he now holds and upon the duties OF
which he entered while comparatively
young man, when he abandoned all
ambition for political preferment and
consecrated his future efforts to the
building up and advancement of that
judicial tribunal of which he has be-
come So distinguished a member, and
10 the elevation of that forensic sphere
Of which he is so rare a gem. During
the twenty three years that he has
been d member of our Supreme Court
he has made for himself a record
which in all its different relations cEal-
| lenges the closest scrutiny. Naturally
possessing an excellent judicial mind
Judge Cole has given it that effeetual
culture which years of earnest and
faithful work upon the Supreme Bench
are 50 we'll calculated to produce. by
reason Of which he is admiralty fitted
for the proper discharge of the duties
pertaining to this office and as one
vino possesses the ability integrity and
keen diseernment between right and
] wrong SO desirable and requisite in a
/ judicial officer, his superior cannot he
foaud in the State. Judge Cole IS not
only a gentleman especially fitted by
legal learning and experience for this
position bat his friends point with Z
+ Just sense of pride to his uninlpeach-

II is now stated that tho population
of China is 347 $50 600, living on an
area of 1854, 900 square miles, which
counts 256 persons to a square mile.
The fertility of the soil greatly sur.
passes that of New England, and with
the frugal habits Of the Chinese it is
certain that their Numbers might be
greatly increased without exhausting
the capacity of the soil. The famine
which prevailed there last year was
exceptional, and is now nearly at al
end.

In Michigan the Democrats and
Greenbakers have pooled their inter

scribing the formula Of principles.
While each party has great confidence
in its own contribution to this pool it
is safe to assume that neither has bat
little faith in the other, Il common in

that of h'isting the Republicans of the

| been tested and found true and 70 his
unsullied reputation as pure and up
right private citizen whose exemplary
traits of character are worthy of praise
and emulation.
| While facts Justify the manner in
which we have alluded to Judge Cole
we have perhaps said mora than we
ordinarily should, for the purpose of
illustrating the striking contrast be-
tween the gentleman named and his
competitor, Judge NJ. NJ Cothren-as
well rs circumstances bearing upon
the candidacy of these gentleman re-
spectiyely. Tie reverse of Judge
Coles sentiment that the judiciary
and politics should be kept widely
apart is witnessed in Judge Cothren
who is running as the Democratic cam
didate for Associate Justice, nolninat-
ed by the Democratic representatives
i'll the legislature and endorsed as such
by the Democratic State Central COM
mittee. the chairman of which is now
putting forth his best Efforts in behalf
of the Democratic candidate. The
partisan nature of Judge CothIen is
still further illustrated by the fact
that he was the ultra Democratic cam
didate for Chief Justice in 1868 and
the straight Bourbon candidate for
Congress in the Third District in 1873.
Judge Goth en- is also notorious where
best known for the record he has made
as a man of dissolute and 1Atemperate
babits--a drunken sot--While Judge
Coles whole life repels any insinad-
tions of this nature. Cothren's insin-
cerity is also shown by his running
himself in temperance localities as Il
reformed inebrlate while among the
saloon fraternity where his record is
known he is setting EN- up and run
ming as one of the ID hoys."
Voters of Pierce county, il is q duty
that, as citizens you owe to yourselves
and the State. you should not allow the
forthcoming Judicial election to go by
default. Tickets will be provided at
each OF the polling places with The
name of Judge Cole thereon and they
ought to be very generally voted.
Professors of Christianity, for AsSoci-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court, vote
for Judge Cole a representative of the
best clement OF society rather than one
who is not; temperance men, vote for
a candidate whose whole life has har-
moniZeG with The principles which
you strive TO iGculcate; independent
voters and Republicans, east your bal
lots for one who utterS the sentiment
that the judiciary should not be a po-
itical football; Greenbackers, vote
for just Judge who has proven his
entire fitness for the position rather
than for an unworthy partisan Bour-
bon Democrat who announced his lack
of sympathy for your cause by becom-
ing candidate for Congress against
one Of your parry; and finally let all
good citizens endowed with the right
of sufferage cast their ballots for the
purest man, the most able and learned
iurist of the two candidates and for
one whom more than any other has
contributed to make our Supreme
Court what it is to-day--tho pride OF
our State and the admiration of the
law and judicial fraternity throughout
the United States.
