To the Editors of the Appeal:
The recent blow which The hand of death
iuf cted upon this community, when Judge
Horrigan was borne 10 tue tomb, is deeply
fell, and the choice OF his successor is a
natter of great moment. The exigeucy of
the occasion will require prompt action on
the p'rt OF the governor, since should an
appointment not be made iu short time
the court must be adjourned for the term,
and great expense to- the county incurred,
and delay OF justice to those under indic,-
hient and awaiting trial. The man who is
selec ed to succeed Judge Horrigan will
require high character TO fill the lofty
ideal which the deceased judge created.
The people will demand that a man be
selected who will enforce the law with
vigor, and much anxiety is felt that the
choice will be worthy. There is a man in
Shelby county who possesses in pre-e mi ne ut
degree frmness and decision of character,
utter fearlessness in carrying out his couvic-
tions of duty, an honesty unapproscha able by
