GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.

The following from the Philadelphia
Times shows spirit that is commendable,
and principle that must recommend itself
to all thinking, conservative men. The
dragging of tho Judicial ermine into the mire
of politics is reprehensible in the extreme.
Judges should be selected for their intrinsic
worth, morally and socially, and for their
honesty, fairness and sense of justice as well
IS for their legal learning and executive
ability:
The members of the Huntingdon, Blair
and Gambia county bars have united with
almost entire unsnimity, without regard TO
political divisions, in letters to Judge John
Dean, asking him to accept reelection
Judge Dean is republican, but in the dis
charge of his judicial 1d1l ~ - never
peAon ard properly is in the integrity of
our courts, and wherever else partisan pas
si@ns may ply their vocation, the courts
should be free from the intrusion OF politics.
The reelection of such faithful judges ss
Judge Dean, by the unanimous vote of all
parties, is simply tribute from the people
to their own integrity, and the ctizsns OF
Huntingdon, Blair and Cambria honor
themselves by their fidelity to bismeless
judicial officer.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch THINKS the
United States senate just adjourned, is enti-
tied to some thanks from the country dispite
its many short comings and says:
Although the extra session of
the senate closed in bad -odor, its
last act did much TO sanctify it. We allude
to the defeat Of Bill Chandler the
machine politician with the shrm face and
Din head conscience, who was nominated for
the Office of solicitor general at tho especial
REQUEST of Blaine. Chandler has had bad
luck. During lhe electoral troubles OF 1876
he busted himself to the best of his abilities
in furtheriDg the steal of the Presidency, and
after covering himself with Florida dirt
called ut the back door of the white house for
bis re ward in the shape Of official cold viclu-
als. Hays "sickod dog on lin and drove
him away. He retired to his farm in New
Hampshire, aud for six months used to rise
al daylight, 60 into q vacant paddock near
the barn and spend couple OF hours paving
the earth, kicking the fence and cursing
HAYES administration. He has divided his
time since that between the Washington lob
bv and a little newspaper office among the
stone piles of New Hampshire. When
Blaine, his master, became premier and
sssistAnt president he handed up bis platter
with promptitude and receivI d The solicitor
generalship. Tho senate, being seized With
the idea that n position of this character
should be filed by u man knowing at least
ss much law as a country constable, quickly
picked William up as q fine tooth comb and
dropped him out OF the back window upon
the pavement beneath. IL he survives be
