THE JUDICIAL QUESTION,
Bellaire Independent, 9th inst.

There is no reasonable doubt that
if the Republicans make nomina-
ton for Common Pleas Judge that
the announcement Of Judge Okey's
candidacy will be Withdrawn from
all of the papers and the field left
to Swaney and the Republican nom
inee, which, of course, means the
election of Swanev.

Clair Kelly, Esq, and W. S. Ken
non, Esq, arc the men talked of
from this county for Common Pleas
Judge. We have it from good au-
thority that Mr.. Kelly will not be a
candidate. Very likely the best
thing for Republicans tor do would
be to make no nomination, and let
the Democrats fight it out. If there
is but one Democratic candidate he
is almost certain of election.

The Republicans of this Judicial
District hold the key to the bench.
They have it in their power now to
say which of two Democrats will oc-
cupy the bench for the next FIVE
years, but there is little probability
of the election of a Republican. 1t
is possible though, for politics make
strange bed-fellows.
