without wishing 10 eNpressa an OPINION IN
FAVOR OF Judge Simrali, or any one else. IN
connection with the next State canvass,
flor we have not yetselected our candidate,)
we feel compelled TO say that the Demo-
cratic party-if 1t desires success, and
would secure a first rate GoyernOr-might
make an INFINITELY worse nomination than
that OF Judge Simrall.
1t Is no argument against Judge Slmrall
that he was rejected by the Senate of 1878
for Justice OF the Supreme Court of the
State. He was nominated and endorsed
for that position by Governor Stone-the
best Governor the State evey had-and
when the Senate rejected him it was not by
any means the only foolish and indefensi-
Bile act in the history of that Senate. The
same body 'instructed" Mr.. Lamar official
ly, and then sent him private note!
Judge Simrall is beyond question one of
the very best men In the State, and his
name has been for years identified in the
most honorable way with the State and its
progress. lie has held many stations OF
high distinction and has always been equal
to the emergencies which have confronted
him. He was never a Radical, nor yet u
Bourbon. Born and raised in the old Ken
lucky school of statesmen and patriots
whose leader was no less man than Hen
~ Clay-of course Judge Simrall has al
ways been moderate and conservative in
his views, and studied the wants, necessi-
ties and good of the country, rather than
the commands of political parties or the de-
s'rGs d o. pH iraI it ,hn ,uo, a. .,o On

of its movements. Huestioned ID the p.v sound
