Attorney General.
Evansville CouHer.l

1t is announced by authority that Hon.
David Tnrpie, of Indianapolis, will accept
the nomination for the Office of Attorney
General. The State OF Indiana has risen be-
| fore now to do honor to this distinguished
| citizen. ibis party once nominated him for
Lieutenant Governor, and although he was
not elected, defeat brought no discredit to
his name, for he only shared the fortunes of
the others on the Democratic ticket. Sub
sequently he was chosen by the Legislature
to NIL the unexpired term OF Jesse ID. Bright
| in the United States Senate. Although his
time In the Senate was short. he left an i'm
preston upon that body that has never been
forgotten. Since then Judge Turpie has de-
voted himself exclusivelyto the practice of
the law. in which profession he occupies a
prominent place in the foremost rank of In
diana jurists. In the winter Of 1870 he was
appointed by Governor Williams as one of
| the three Commissioners to codEy the laws
OF the State. and his scholarly Efforts in this
important work have become part of the
history of Indiana. Nc anan is better quail
fed to perform the duties of Attorney Gen.
eral. As an advocate he has no superior; as
scholar in Jaw and literature few men are
as widely known. He would interpret the
laws with an intelligence that has rarely
adorned our departmental Justice, and the
Courier believes that the democratic Con-
yention will show its appreciation of his
by giving him the nomination which he has
consented to accept.

Out this way the Democrats have set their
eyes upon fihe Judge for our next Attorney
General. and they expect not only to see
him nominated but elected.
