OUR CANDIDATE FOR ATTOR.
NEY GENERAL.

Geographical or personal c~onsidera-
ton may affect the candidates before
the State convention for the several
State offices, but it is very necessary
for the public interest that it should
not be forgotten in filling the Office of
Attorney General that something more
is required.
b That office demands professional at.
tainments of the highest order. In
the discharge of its duties there are
involved questions affecting the reve-
nue. of the State which require for
their proper solution not only
some craftsmanship, but also a
knowledge of law which, it is no dis
paragement to the very able bar Of the
State to say, is not within the reach Of
the average lawyer and the relations
of the State to the several railroad and
other corporations likewise requires
unusual attachments as a lawyer in
the incumbent Of that Office, in order
that he may be a match for the ablest
lawyers in the State or elsewhere which
such corporations with their ample
means must enlist on their side.
1t would be extremely unfortunate,
especially at this time when the rela-
tions between the State and those cor
Aporations are in process of adjustment,
shat the people should not be as ably
represe nted as they undoubtedly will
be. And even in the ordinary admins
tration of criminal justice how much
the enforcement Of the law requires
the advocacy of the ablest forenstic
talent we leave to the thoughtful
consideration of all men who have paid
any attention to the quirks and bubbles
by which it is too often defeated. We
challenge comparison in all these re.
CARDS between the Hon. T. Marshall
Miller and any lawyer in the State.
His knowledge and talents are
such that we think it no dis
paragement to his competitors to say
that he is pre-eminently fitted for that
office, and we predict that if he is the
choice Of the Convention his discharge
of the duties of the office will be such
as to rebound to the substantial ber-
eft Of the State, and. make his ad-
miaistration of the Office a matter Of
lasting pride to our people.
