1t is evident that he will poll not only the full vote
of the party that presented him. but that he will be
heartily supported by large number Of influential
Democrats, members Of the bar and Others who In
politics are opposed to him. There is general feel
ing among intelligent electors that political sonsd-
eratons ought to BIZ lost sight of when the question
of choosing Judge is to DO determined. The dis
trict in which Nr. johnson s running Is reCkoned

heaped as full as 1t is when the air IS sparkling
with frost, and all the passenger can do Is to hang
his head out of tho window and wish he was a
