CHICAGO, june There is much excitement

choice of the national committee. So in

A Difference of Opinion.


We believe the Democrats of Georgia are
overwhelmingly for Tilden, and they should
send delegates to Atlanta who will see that
Tilden delegates are elected to Chicago. Those
who claim that the Tilden movement is not
really for Tilden, can not object to having the
delegates elected squarely as Tilden delegates.
That is just what we should like to see. If this
is done, we should be perfectly willing to see
them go for any other man for second choice.
We are for Tilden first and last, because Tilden
means Democratic victory.

We have not sympathzed with the movement
to nominate Mn. Tilden. We do not believe that
the fraud issue will win votes 1t is too late
now to attempt to right the wrong of 1876. The
time to have done that, if it could have been
done at all, was in $780, If there is no particu-

WOruen, Judge OF the superior Court at Fort
Wayne, died to night, after an illness of three
weeks, aged sixty-fve years.
Judge James L. Worden was born May 10,
1919, in Sandisfeld, Berkshire county, Mass.
His father died when he was only
seven eight years old. A year
or two later he moved with his mother to Port
age county, Ohio. His youth was spent on a
farm, but he had the benefit of such common
school education as the county afforded, and de
voted himself in some measure to literary pur-
suits. At the age of nineteen he commenced
the study of law, and in 1889 entered the Office
of Thomas J. Straight, of Cincinnati In 1S41
he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme
Court of Ohio, at Lancaster. He afterward
removed to Tifin, o., where he practiced two or
three years. In the spring of 1874 he
removed to Whitley county, Indiana. Being
Democrat in politics he took some
part in the presidential election of that
year. In the spring of 1915 he married Annie
Cradle, daughter of Benjamin Cradle, then
treasurer of Whitley county. In the fall he
removed to Noble county which, being a larger
and more thiclly settled county, offered better
field for the practice of his profession He
was soon after elected prosecuting attorney
of the Tenth judicial circuit an office
which he hold by successive reflections
In 1913 an atrocious murder was committed in
Noble county by who was indicted and
for trial took change of venue to Allen county
AS prosecutor, Mr. Worden followed the case
and brought it to a successful termination. The
cordial reception which he met with at Fort
Wayne, and the solicitations of many persons
there, induced him to remove to that place in
l849. He practiced his profession until 1855,
when he was appointed judge of the
Tenth judicial circuit by Gov. Joseph
A. Wright, to fill vacancy occur
ring on the bench; and in the same year was
elected to the office by the people, without oppo-
sition. In 1857, much against his inclination, he
allowed his name to be placed on the Democratic
ticket for Congress The district was largely
Republican, and he was, of course, defeated. In
January, 1858, he was appointed, by Governor
Willard, to fill vacancy upon the Supreme
Bench occasioned by the resignation of Judge
Stewart, of Logansport, and a year later
he held the Office by election. In
1864 he was a candidate for the same
Office but with the rest of the ticket suffered de-
feat. In the spring of 1865 he was elected mayor
of Fort Wayne, but after holding the Office a
year was obliged to resign account of in
creased practice, From 1860 to 1871 he was en-
gagged at his profession in partnership with Hon.
John Morris the relation being a very agreeable
one, and the practice of the firm extensive and
lucrative In 1870 Judge Worden was again
elected Judge of the Supreme Court, and took
his place on the bench January l, 1871 In 1876
he was rejected.
