man, everybody having the least ac-

being an aristOcrat, those of our citi-
ms who have had the pleasure OF meet

know that there is nothing in the man
that would indicate any such feeling.
As to the other charge. it is an old say

they could be managed successfully
without men with brains being at the
head of affairs, and hence when they have
need Of an attorney they look for and
employ man with brains to look after
their interests, and the fact that in the
the past Mr.. O'Brien has been employed
by leading railroad corporations as their
attorney to look after important inter
ests, only goes to show that they recOg-
nized in him man of ability, and one
capable Of looking after matters invoiy-
ing great interests. The fact that he
has been Employed where such import
ant interests were involved, shows that
the Republican convention chose wise
ly when they selected Mr.. O'Brien,
as the candidate of the party from
among the many other able men whose
ames were presented before the cOnven-
tiUn. Mr.. O'Brien is not an attorney for
rail rOadcOrpOrations.( He is conceded
to be an honorable man, and being such
his previous connection as attorney for
any railroad should have no weight with
candid, fair minded men in their max
ing choice of man to fill so important
ant position as Judge of the Supreme
court, only as being. an additional
reason for selecting a man having
ability sufficient to attrect the attention
OF such men as are usually found at the
head of the management of large, cor
pOratiOns. Thomas j. O'Brien will hon

state, and we believe the judgment of
the men placing him in nomination
will be endorsed by the citizens at the
polls. -s~ -y- ~ r-- - -,
