THE CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The calls for the several caucuses
and conventions, incident to the Repub-
llcan Judicial Convention, to be held in
Dodgeville, are published in this issue
OF the Witness, and the question of a
nominee, who shall lead the party to
victory, is already being discussed.
AT the last Congressional election, the
counties comprising the Fifth Judicial
Circuit, gave a Republican majority of
1889. If then there is reasonable
amount of harmony in the Republican
ranks, the election of the Republican
candidate is beyond peradventure.
1t will be the pleasure of Grant county
to present the name of George Clement
son, OF Lancaster, TO the convention for
its consideration, Mr. G was born and
raised in Grant County. He studied
law in the university of Michigan, serv-
ed two terms as District Attorney, then
became partner of the late j. Allen
Barber. A gentleman who studied law
with Mr.. G. remarked to us one dav:
Il have now been with him two wears
and have watched him closely and
nave never yet heard him give any adj
wee that was not strictly in accordance
with right and justice, and never saw
him swerve from the strict line of duty. .
His character is beyond suspicion. As
lawyer he stands in the very front rank
of his profession. As public speaker
he is brilliant and eloquent, clear in
Judgment, decided in conviction, reso-
lutte in utterance, gentle in manner, and
if nominated we have no doubt that he
will receive the full vote of the Republic
lican party. PattertUe Witness.

The judicial Convention which is to
convene at DodgegiNson Thursday Feb.
%, will find that something more than
the mere nominating of candidate for
judicial honors, is to be considered.
The delegates there assembled must
bearin mind, first, that they are to NOM
mate candidate who is to be pitted
against the most crafty politician in the
district, although he is jurist. Second
that the man who enters the field against
Judge Cothren must be above sectional
strifes; that he must have the united
support of the party in every county
comprising the fifth judicial circuit; that
he must be one who is the peer of
Judge Cothren, judicially, socially and
morally. This is the work they will
have to perform, and Grant county
thinks, and in fact knows that she has
such candidate in Mr.. George Clement
son, OF Lancaster. Since his life service
as a lawyer commenced, he has uni
formly had the confidence, respect and
esteem, not only of his brother members
of the bar, and his clients, but of the
public generally. 1t is not known
whether he desires to leave his already
large and growing business for the bench
or not; but it is fair TO suppose that
he would yield to the decision of the
delegates in the matter The Dial would
be pleased to see Mr.. Clementson on the
judicial ticket. and is firm in the belief
that he, of all others, could successfully
cope with Judge Cothren in winning
voters at the polls. Grant county will
present his name, and if no good reason
to the contrary is brought out, viii con-
tend strongly for his nomination. Bos-
cObeI Dial

Civil Service Reform.

The following letter has been prepared by
the executive committee of the DeeriDg Civil
Service Reform Association and sent to the
Maine delegation in Congress:
In the Judgment of this committee the
scheme proposed by the Pendleton bill is
founded upon the principles which are essen
;al to re orm, and the committee have seen
with Measure the general and intelligent sup
mort which it has received in the Senate.
The Kasson bill is in large part formal le-
eaIization of existing evils, and could not pro-
mote reform. The vital points of a sound sys-
TEN are entrance at the lowest grade by COM
petition and probation, promotion by merit
and experience, and prompt removal for leei
innate cause only. ANY proposition which DIS
regards any of ii ESQ conditions must be view
ed with great suspicion. and the Kasson bill
by allowing admission by favor and obst uct'
ting removal, permits michief to get into the
service aud then seals itup.
We respectfully urge your attention to these
chief points Of differ enee on account of the
deep and general pubic interest in the reform
which the Pendleton bill is adapted TO lecure
and the KasSon bill to defeat.
Very respectfully yours,
EMERY S. RIDLoN, Chairman.

The Patent Valve Suits.

Some time ago the PRESS stated.that it was
generally understood the firm of Marcus P
Morton & Co., would sue the different cities
whose stea mels, in the fire depart
ment used, valve, which this firm, itswas al
legged claimed as an infringement on the
Knibb's patent. Portland was one of the cit
les mentioned and the sum claimed something
handsome. Fosters Observer, of Dover, N.
H., publishes the following
"a serious complication has arisen to OBJ
struct Marcus P. Morton & Co., in their at
tempt to euchre this and other cities out of
said yesterday that Mayor Putnam, as the le-
gal representative of that city, has been served
with an interesting document in relation to the
Knibb's patent valve suits. The doc
ument is notice to the city of
Manchester not to pay to Marcus P. Nor
ton as individual or trustee any sum upon the
suit for infringement of patent, and sets forth
that in November last the Supreme Court of
New York ordered judgment against the said
Marcus P. Morton and in favor of Samuel P.
Bell for the sum of $19,206 26; that execution
was issued upon the same, and that it was re-
turned TO the sheriff office in New York city,
as unsatisfed. The document also proclalms
that suits have been entered to annul the al
legged fraudulent transfer of the Knibbs' valve
PATENTS to the parties now holding them.
These parties are Morton's wife and chill
dren.
There are two things evident in this matter.
One is that Morton is harassed 10 pay his debts
and therefore may not take any great interet
in pushing his suits against the cities, as his
creditors would get all the money if he should
recover any, which it looks as though he did
not want them to do. The other is, that his
title to the patent is alleged to be fraudulent,
and if it so turns out, he has no claim whatev-
er against anybody for its infringement The
fact that his wife and children claim 10 own
the title rather indicates that he is worthless
himself, although that, if true, would not nee
essarily deprive him of a legal standing in
court in the case. But as the title is disputed
anyway, that question must be settled before
he can have any ground whatever to stand
upon. III it turns out to be fraudulent, he has
no case against any city, will be compelled to
retire like the old fellow who went wool shear
ing and got badly shorn himself
