The Circuit Judgeship.

In our last issue we briefly noted
the fact that the Republican Judlcia
Convention had made a unanimon!
choice of Mr. George Clementson
of Lancaster, as its candidate FOL
Circuit Judge, which receives oul
hearty endorsement and approval
Mr.. Clementson came to this country
from England with his parents when
a child of four years of age, and
settled at Hazel Green, in Grant Co
lie lived there until he became a
young man, during which time he
graduated at the High School of
that village, and shortly after enter
ed upon the study Of law with the
late Hon. J. Allen Barber, Of Ian
caster; following this lie graduated
in law. course at Ann -Arbor, Mich,
and was afterward elected District
Attorney of Grant County, which
position he held for four years. AT
the close of this term OF service he
entered into partnership with Hon.
j. Alien Barber, and formed the law
firm of Barber 81 Clementson, which
was continued up to the death of
Mr.. Barber. He has occupied the
position Of Mayor of Lancaster and
Chairman of the Board of Super
visors of Grant Co., which Indicate
his popularity and standing whore
he is best known. On the 18th of
next month he will have reached the
age of forty years Mr.. Clement
son is, in the true sense of the word,
selfmade man; starting out In life
with much to discourage, and little
to assist, he has by hard labor and
close attention to his studies and
business, won position of rank with
the leading attorneys of the District
and State. His qualifications in law
for the position of Judge is not
doubted, even by his political enc
mics. He took leading part in the
famous Ross IL Henry Us Heathcoek
mining case, which created such an
interest in our county, and in it dis
played Il large resourse of thought
and experience. In his practice he
has been noted for discouraging
suits arising out Of petty neighbor-
= and Of following on
hood quarreie,
ever type In manner he is courte'
Gus and kind, and true a friend to the
injured and oppressed. Such is a
brief and imperfect sketch of MIR.
Clementson's life and career. There
is none who can successfully bring
a charge against his character, and
IN every respect we consider HIM
well fitted to the position for which
he is nominated. 1t is not at the
present writing known who will be
Mr.. Clementson's opponent, though
it is generally conceded that the
present incumbent will become q
sort of Democratic Independent can
didate, I'VE put Democratic first, for
the reason that we believe it is first
in his affections) but, whoever it
may be, we venture the assertion that
he will possess no higher qualitica-
tons than our candidate; nor will
his friends be able to give sound
reason why we, the Republicans of
the District, should forsake our can
didate and support his opponent,

UNQUESTloNABLY more interest
was taken in the Garfield memorial
services held at Washington on
Monday than in any similar occasion
within the history of our grand
country of independence. MrBlaine,
the chosen eulogist, handled the
delicate subject so aptly and master
/, as to give oilense to none and
pleasure to all, and those who eN
pected something sensational and
personal were doomed to disappoint
ment. A few chronic sheets hayC
endeayored to picture the weakness
of Blaine's effort. This springs only
from the political puddle in which
these dyspeptic scribblers battle
1t was not weak. This u whole ma
ton, standing as willing and eager
listeners. will testify to; it vii
serve in future time as preseryatiy,
to keep the memory Of Garfield for
ever green. We shall endeavor t
lay it before our readers in full mex
week.

STATE apportionment does not
seem to progress very rapidly. 1t
is usually delayed to the end of the
session when a bill is rushed through
with the omission of more or less
territory. That experience has
been met twice within the past six
years and is not desired at present.

IN referring to our candidate for
Circuit Judge, Hon. Geo. Cleminson,
the Milwaukee Sentinel remarks that
"his opponents concede that he is a
lawyer of marked ability, and of
character above reproach.'

will always be found in the front
rank of public affairs. As Chief
Justice there certainly can be no
serious objection to him on the
score Of personal qualifications. The
faults and political mistakes for
which he has been SO severely judy
ed are not of a nature to affect ma
terially his fitness for the position
to which he is nominated. Certainly
his great intellectual powers and
thorough legal training qualify him
to be most able and useful Judge.
"The man for the place." is good
motto to carry out, and should
Conkling accept and prove other
wise, it's treacherous judgment
that beats us, that's all.
THOSE who are anxious for the
election of any one rather than a
Republican to the Judicial chair,
are peddling q rumor to the effect
that the nomination was forced upon
Mr., Clementson, which is erroneous
" false. The true inwardness of
the matter is clearly explained in
the last four lines of the first para.
graph Of Mr.. Clementson's address
of acceptance, given below:
Mr. CHAIRMAN, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CONVENTION II am duly sensible of this
very tlattcring mark of your appreciation and
belief in my ability to discharge the duties of

made no effort to obtain ii, although ] have
always said that if This convention shonld ten.

equivalent to an elaction. Whether it shall be !
ratified ut the polls depends entirely upon
you, gentlemen, and the constituents you re-
present. There is no platform that can be |
laid down, upon when to make this judicial
There is but one course for a
Judge to pursue, and that is, to administer the |
law impartiaily know no man from the bench, |
to hold the scales Of justice evenly, 10 make |
no hasty Judgment, to treat the bar courte- |
Ously, to give attention TO cases and to render
