OUR NEXT JUDGE.

II the voice OF the press and the opinion
Of the attorneys OF the Eighteenth Judicial
District are worth anything as reflex of
the wishes of the people, the nomination
Of Ii. c. Sluss for judge could not have
been bettered. A week has not yet elapsed
since he was put up rs the Republican can
didate by O regularly chosen convention,
but the tone Of the press and bar consent
that his election is foregone conclusion
That he will not only receive the solid Re-
publican vote OF the district, but the vote
Of nearly every ex-soldier Democrat there
10 no doubt. 1t is hardly likely that the
Democrats will put regular nominee in
the field, and but few old soldiers will vote
for the non-partsan self.constituted candi-
date Judge Amos Harris. To show how
siuss' nomination was accepted in other
counties We give n few extracts from ex-
changes.

Hurrah for Sluss Hurrah for the Re-

The Judicial convention at Harper re-
suited as we expected il would. Senator
Sluss was nominated by reclamation. no
candidate appearing against him. The
readers OF the Republican understand how
we feel concerning this matter, so it is I'M
necessary to indulge in any extended re-
marks on the subject. As lawyer and up
right citizen Henry Sluss is the peer of any
man in Kansas. We feel sure that the
voters of this district will not miss the OPP
portunity TO honor themselves by electing
him to the high Office of District Judge by
an overwhelming msjoriiy.-Anthony Re
publican.
