Mr.. Graves is enphntieally ii lawyer
and a law student. He is more fitted ~
nature for Il judge than any one we know
of. while his correct habits OF living,
his irFeproaehablc character and close
applicafion to his profession emineniiy iii
him to iii the office for which the people
OF the district have seen fit 10 nominate
him. We believe no better nomination
could have been made Charley has a
superior mind, is sober, deliberate,
close student and correct reasuner,
man who never acts hastily nor allows
prejudice To bias Judgment, and with all,
so far rs known his character IS above
reproaeh in every particular. This We
venture 10 predict, when Judge I. u
Graves leaves the bench OF this district
il will only be to- ljll more exalted po-
sition in the Judicial department OF this
country.
WILSON Comfy Citizen.
Chas. B. Graves, of Burlington, was
last week nominated for judge of the
fifth judicial district, by the Republicans
Emporia has had the judgship of that
district for twenty years-eycr since
Kansas has been a state-and she might
have held il four years longer 1T least,
had she agreed upon a man acceptable
to the balance of the district. Mr.,
Graves is a lawyer of ability and man
of excellent character. Of course he
will be elected.
Hon. John II. Goodin in Humboldt
Interstate Democratic) says:
&C. b. Graves, of Burlington, has re-
ceivcd the Republican nomination for
judge of the Fifth judicial district. We
have known Charley ever since he start
ed in the legal profession at Neosho
Falls, and have watched his success with
interest. The honor conferred by the
nomination to so important an Office is,
in Charley's case, most worthiiy bestow
ed, and we hope to record the fact of his
election To the position"
