in connection with the Office of Judge of
the Fifth Judicial District of Wisconsin.
Perhaps no man of his age in that Dis
trict has won more enviable distinc-
ton at the Bar than Mr.. Clementson
A good judge of law, clear thinker. a
logical reasoner, and a man of great in
dustry, he has worked his way to dis
tinction without the aid of wealthy rela-
tlyes or other circumstances of accident.
what he is he owes to naturally bright
intellect, persistent industry and infiexi.
bic integrity. Those who know him
best will not doubt that on the Bench
Mr. Clementson would act in accord
ance with the law, the evidence and the
demands of justice, and that no influ-
ence or unworthy motives would swerve
him from the strict line of duty. Pos
sessing such qualities of mind and heart.
it is not surprising that Mr.. Clementson
is held in very high esteem where he is
best known, and that he would poll q
very large vote. Ii he proves to be the
choice of the nominating convention. "a
we hope he will, he win undoubtedly be
elected.
In this connection we will state that
paragraph in a communication to the
Gazette last week, intimating that Judge
Cothren was sure TO be elected, appeared
without our knowledge. The next
Judge is likely to be Republican, and
with George C'umentson as candidate
we should regard it as settled fact

and finally an order was given TO j.
NJ. Kershaw, of this city. TO strike $50
bronze medals. The matter was TO be

was enioined to silence. He has been
working on the medals for several
months, and they are now complete,
and within few days will be sent to
Chauneey Filley, at Washington, who
win superintend the distribution.
The medals are of bronze. perfectly
round p inches in diameter, Lilo of an

On the center of the face is the profile

extending partially around the head is
wreath of laurel and oak leaves; around
this is slightly raised circle, outside of
which is a record of the Grant ballot ar
ranged in complete circle, the number
of each ballot and vote cast being set
down in seperate space. The record
begins at the exact center of the bottom

which wavered from 302 to 3l3 between
the first and thirty-sixth ballots. The
figures can all be read without turning
the medal around. Outside the record
and along the rim wreath of fleur de

the face.

by that gentleman's friends that the

the nomination on the Republican side,
