Next to the first place on the ticket, the
Supreme Court places are exciting mos. gen.
eral interest. Will the party vtndica,e the
two OF the Little Four whose seats are to Re
vacated? Is what everybody wants to know.
That Is what the judges want to know too.
Judge Woods has been on the ground since
Monday mingling with the crowd, keeping
his eye on the hotel register, smiling Oh dele
gates and reaching Tor them. TIE Judge
likes his place and wants 10 keepit His son
Sam, who has the Democratic nomination
for Prosecuting Attorney In Barbour, got in
yesterday 10 help pa. The general belief
WAS, that little help wouldn't go.amiss.
At first 1t looked that both the judges
would slip through for want Of ORGANIZATION.
There is plenty Of opposition but 1t seemed
to be drifting seven ways for Sunday, With.
out leadership. Yesterday the men who be-
lieve that even judges should respect the
law got the thing in batter shape. and by
night there began to be- something like an
linson, OF Marion, and Brannou, Of Lewis,
thus far constitute the field against the in.
cumbents, and 1t 10 thought that they will
have no trouble to fix.it up for two OF them
to make the fight Good work Is being done,
and at midnight the skies seemed to lower
over the $S25 judges.
Anybody seen Judge Woodl?' asked a
delegate jus: in.
"Jndgs wh,?' queried another delegate.
"Judge Woods isn't here and won't be hers.
Do you think had gst down Q d the bench to
come here TO lobby himasli Though for an.
other term? No sil."
Just taen the portly form OF Judge Woods
hove In sight, and the man who wanted blu,
found him. His presence here on this bust.
uess has excited .ho most unfavorable COM
ments. a friend OF Judge Snyder said he
wouldn't be here-thst he hld too much
sense t. come.
Dr.. hoy, who is here In the interest OF Nj.
Tom:ison. OF Mason county, for Supreme
Judge, thinks that his principals chances OF
the ticket will be snyder and Tomlinson.
A gentleman from the Fourth district said
last night: II know that il q line we're drawn
from Wood county through 10 Jackson tha,
not one-ai1tsenth OF the Democratic voters
would support Judge Woods. Principally
on Bccount OF his reassessment record, The
contempt case was not calculated to help him
any. The same feeling extends very largely
to Judge Snyder"
There is a strong eff Jrt making to re .nomi.
nate Judges Snyder and Woods" said an
astute delegate la.t night. "Governer Jack.
son wants them re-nominated; first, because
they s1e his appointees; and secord, because
they sustained the re,susessmsnt business
he Is making appeals to all OF his friends to
sustain them. He evidently lhinks thst
their defeat will be virtual reputation OF
his whole administration. John J. Davis,
Of Har'i'on county, is also doing Ill that be
can to keep them on the ticket. He made
great effort four yes,s sgo 10 get Ham Woods
on the bench in Judge GREEN'S place, but
failed, and Afterwards did all be could to get
him appointed 10 tho vacapc; caused by
Haymopds resignation. His real desire,
however, to haye them retained is caused BIZ
the knowledge Gf Bakers wish to zee Them
beaten. Davis lea not like Bsker for aay.
thing. Some OF or old fossils are doing all
they can to keep 6nyder and Woods Oh the
bench, but they will ind It very uphill
work. Oae objection that will b. urged
against Snyder IL tho fact that he was one OF
the first men to come out OF the Confederscy
and take the test oA,h. This made him IN.
popular in bis neighborhood and will tell
against him II he ia nominated"
