WHY We are for Judge Little.

Ia conversation Monday, voter
asked us "why are you for Judge Little?
We append a few of the many reasons
We could give why We are for Judge
Little for Circuit Judge:
We are for Judge Little because
he is better qualified mentally and ply
sically to I'LL the Office than his oppo-
nent, Judge Stuart.
We are for Judge Little because by
eiecting him we will stop draw Of
over seven hundred dollars per annum
upon our tax payers, which We have to
pay to pro tenn. Judges TO help Judge
Stuart do the work which he was elect
sd and paid 10 do, bat which he Is in
capable of doing, and which Judge Little
will do himself.
We are for Judge Little because he
has never held Office, while Judge
stuart has been in a fat-salaried Office
all the time since 1856, (save few
months) a period of "a years, and this
is long enough, for the new Constitution
Of this State was adopted more express
~ TO foster rotation i'm Office than any
other one thing.
We are for Judge Little because he
was Democrat before the war, a DEM
ocrat during the war, has been Demo-
crat since the war, Is a true Democrat
now and never lodges the fact, but al
ways owns up and is not ashamed but
proud Of his political principles, while
Judge stuart cannot, or at least will
not, tell what his politics are, but leaves
the impression with Greenbackers that
he If the original Geenbacker, the dad
dy of that party, and that Peter Cooper,
Brick Pomeroy, Gen. Weaver nor any
one else IL a circumstance TO him; with
a Republican, that he il par excellence,
the best Republican ON earth; with
Democrats, that Thomas Jefferson was
never half SO good Democrat as he /;
with persons of particular creed, that
he Is non-political, and thinks il an I'M
pardOnable sin TO belong TO a political
party, and i'm company where more
than one political party is represented,
lac says he is political cosmopolite,
wonder what kind of a varmint that
Isl. 81 you cannot place your finger
ontbe Judge politically aud say here he
isb, but ifyou willexamine his record you
viii find that he has been a Republican,
and rs all the Republican officials, and
the masses of the Republicans are for
him, ii is not hard to conclude that he
is still Republican.
We are for Judge Little because he is
the Democratic nominee for Circuit
Judge in the Fourth Judicial District,
having been fairly and honorably
chosen, aud having received the largest
support for the nomination ever receiv-
ed by any one from the four counties
for the nomination to any position, with
or without opposition, and having been
duly declared the nominee by the proper
authority, and being the only Democrat
before the people for this Office.
We are for Judge Little because this
IL no off year. II is the most important
year i'm the history of the country, and
one when it is more important for DEM
ocrats to stand by their nominees than
ever before, for by so doing We have ii
i'm our power to elect the gallant soldier
statesman General Winfield Scott
Hancock rs President, but il Demo-
cratic Districts Democratic nominees
are defeated it will he heralded abroad
over every doubtful state, and will en-
courage and consolidate our enemies
and dishearten and dismay our friends.
We are for Judge Little because the
Democratic party Of the District has
spoken through the proper channel and
proclaimed him our standard bearer In
this fight, and as he is worthy and well
qualified, il is the duty of every true
Democrat 10 give him his undivided
support.
