We learn that an attempt is being
made to create the impression
(among the taxpayers, that because
1 Mr.. Baer resides in this county, it is
Ito their pecuniary interest that he
should be elected Judge. This is The
m crest bosh. The salaries and mile
lage of Judges are paid out of the
State Treasury, and so far as that is
concerned, it matters not to our peo-
fple if their judge should come from
Philadelphia.
But there is matter OF dollars
kand cents connected with this cues
ton which economical persons NAV
well take into consideration. While
/ it is true that the pay of the Judi
sciary comes out of the State Treasu.
|ry, the costs of the courts-the paw
6of jurors, crier, tipstaves, &c.,-must
be met by the County Treasury. II
Follows, Therefore, that the fewer the
costs, the less are the costs to the
county. Now Mr.. BaeF has been a
4practicing attorney 10 this COUNTY
for twenty-five or more years. ard
/ is concerned in many cases yet to be
|adjudicated. If elected to the bench
/ not one of these cases can be tried
before him. nor can he preside in a
ease where his opinion has been
sought or expressed, consequently
there will have to be special courts
held, presided over by 4 Judge from
another district, for the trial Of ali
such causes. and the costs of these
courts must be paid by the county,
so if economy is TO he considered an|
element in the Judicial campaign.

/ il will be much cheaper for the peo-
| pie of this county to elect Mr.. Cess

There has been much complaint
.of the costs imposed on the county
land on parties litigant, by Judge
Halls habit of rarely reaching here
before Monday evening of Court
week, and his frequent adjournment

before the business of the week was
completed, and this is being urged

those who know Mr.. Cessna's prompt

Twill rush business too fast to suit
