HENRY Wa CORY.
H. W. Cory, Esq, the Democratic candi-
date for judge of the municipal court, is
gentleman who, as a lawyer and a citizen,
is held in the highest esteem by his fellow
citizens, being educated here and having
conducted himself in such manner both
professionally aud otherwise as to command
the friendship and respect of all with whom
he has come in contact in business, social
and political circles.
AS an attorney, though not as brilliant
fOrensically as some of st. Paufs noted
legal lights, his Judgment and acumen in
his profession are of the highest order, and
in the cases which he has conducted in the
higher courts he has the reputation OF hay
ing been uniformly successful.
He is in addition to this a man who has
never sought political preferment, having
diligently followed his profession in this
city for years, and is now presented as a
candidate for suffrage by his friends, in
recognition Of his eminent qualifications for
the position to which he has been nOmi-
mated: and because as a consistent lifelong
Democrat this recognition is due to him
from the party.

age, is of American parentage and is con-
nected with some of the pioneer families of
the city, having been a brother-in-law of
the late Mai. Forbes.

election for justice of the peace in the lower
district. is a splendid type of the thrifty,
intelligent and substantial German citizen.
He is about 80 years of age, and has occu-
pied his present position for about eight
years, and his perfect fairness, impartial
decisions, affability, careful diligence and
industry have made him great favorite
among the lawyers and the host of people
with whose interests he has to deal. His
honesty and integrity are unquestioned, and
his long experience has well qualified him
for the important duties of his position.

ago, and he is quite large property owner.

reelection will be made by large majority.
FRANK c. BURGESS.
Mr. Frank G. Burgess is the Democratic
candidate for justice of the peace of the
upper district. Mr.. Burgess is a native
SOutherner, and is true and loyal Demo-
crat, having been a loyal member of the
party since boyhood, and as he has arrived
at an age where winter is about to set in,
he says he feels ayerse to changing his
tactics, and claims that the old party is
good enough for him. Mr.. Burgess has
been practicing lawyer for good many
years. He accepted the nomination at the
earnest solicitation of his many friends,
who desire to not only see him elected to
the position, but also to see the place filled
by man of ability and intelligence. At
present the fight is being waged aggres-
sively on both sides, and hard work for Mr..
Burgess should be done in his district. Mr.
Burgess was for several years the city
editor of the Dispatch and he made his
mark as bright and able journalist. A
few years ago he quit the newspaper bus
mess and returned to his first love, the
pro fessiOn of the law, to which he brings a
fine legal intelligence, and trained mind
and sterling integrity,
