The Gardiner Home Journal we'll says ::
We have no doubt Judge Danforth and Judge
Barrows stand now as they have at their
former appointments, and will not ask for q
re-appointment nor will they condescend to
ask the influence of others to secure it for
them, nor would any other position be in &C
cord with the nature and honor Of the men.
They have held the Office with credit to them
selves and honor to the State. The years
they have devoted to its labors have but the
better fitted them for its duties, and they
stand to day in the fulpess of their powers
and usefulness, far better fitted to be their
successors than any inexperienced man can
be. We need the services of such men and
cannot afford to allow them to retire. Let
us hold fast to that which is tried and true"
