The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1882-10-21
Our Judicial Ticket.
what the Paper. Of the District say.

From the Euicot City Times:
sWe shall not attempt to say more than W.
have already said about the fitness of Judge
Miller for the high and honorable position
which he now holds, and for which he hal
been renominated by his party for another
term of fifteen years. He needs no common
dation from u.s. His record not only upor
the bench, but prior to his having entered up
on the discharge of the delicate duties of Judge
is a sufficient guarantee of what can be ex
pected from his administration of justice II
the future.
Mr.. Henning, is a man of ability and has
displayed great frmness of character and in
tegrity in the discharge of the arduous and re
sponsible duties of States Attorney for Car
roll county which position he has filled fol
seven years acceptably to the people of thai
county irrespective of party. He was the
choice of a large majority of the Democrats o.
his county for Associate Judge, carrying eight
of the twelve districts at the primary election
He is of medium height, pleasing address, and
cool and self possessed in his bearing. We
feel confident in commencing him to the peo
pie of this county, that he possesses all of the
qualities requisite for the lofty position for
which he has been nominated, and that he will
make fair, impartial and just Judge.
1t is gratifying to know that the nomination
of Mr. I. Thomas Jones for Associate Judge,
meets with the hearty approval and endorse
ment of the people of this county as well as
those of Carroll and his native county, Anne
Arundel. His fitness and qualification for
the bench are so universally recognized by all
that it would be useless to add one word to
what we have heretofore said of him.
The same paper. speaking of the conven-
ton which nominated Messrs. Miller, Henning
and Jones, says:
This was one of the most harmonious con-
yentions ever held in Ellicott City, and the
feeling of all present was that the Judicial
ticket lust nominated was the strongest that
could have been put in the field and that all
three of the gentlemen would be triumphant
ly elected. Mr.. Henning was in the city, and
after the convention adjourned received his
friends and those who called on him, at the
Howard House. Everybody who met him
was very favorably impressed with his dignlfl-
ed and agreeable manner. Among those who
called to see him were Ex-Gov. Carroll, Hon.
Richard T. Mefrick, John R. Clark, Henry
E. Wootten, Esq, j. D. Mcclure, Esq, D..
D. Cooke, ESQ.,, Edward A. Talbot, Thomas
II. Hunt, ESQ.,, Sheriff Talbot, the Delegates
and many of the citizens of this city.
The Annapolis Republican, after paying
well-deserved compliments to Judges Miller,
Hayden anu I1dIniuUHU, says
Of the two new Judges, Messrs. David N.
Henning, of Carroll county, and L. Thomas
Jones, of Howard, our information is all OF
good import. They will wear the ermine with
utmost acceptability and earnest usefulness.
The former was born in Baltimore city in 1915,
and is the son of the late David Henning of
that city, whose ancestors have been identified
with the interests of Baltimore for several
generations. In full vigor of life and ofpurest
character, he will be worthy successor to the
venerable and honored Judge Hayden; and it
would be difficult for the Democratic voters
in the Cirnuit to make a better selection for
the high position in which they have resolved
to place him.
Hon. I. Thomas Jones, candidate for Asso-
ciate Judge from Howard county, is a gentle
man of fine legal talents, and is held in high
esteem At the bar of Howard county he is
deservedly respected as lawyer of assduous
industry, close student, and a,pure and up
right man-"in whom there is no guile
These three gentlemen Miller, Henning
and Jones will well and worthily wear the
ermine destined for them. Of their election
there is no doubt. .....
