JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The election of the three judges for the
9th judicial circuit takes place one week
from next Monday. Five candidates are
in the field, to wit Josiah McRoberts
George w. Stipp, and Charles Blanchard
the present incumbents, and Hiram I
Gilbert, of this county, and Royal E. Bar
Der, of VIII. OF these candidates, two, to
wit McRoberts and Blanchard, are classed
as republicans, and the others--Stipp, Gil
bert and Barber-as democrats The clas
silcatiOn is bject to various notifications
but it Is not worth while to stop and note
them.
Our readers will bear witness that the
FREE TRADER has maintained throughout
that in this election politics should be ig
nored, and that the candidates should be
tried alone by their merits. The office is
one with which politics should have nc
connection. A judge with a strong politi
cal bias could not help but allow it to have
Il pernicious influence on his decisions in
cases coming before him involving polti
cal questions. The trainers of our consti-
tuition placed this election In June, far
away from the date of the ordinary politi.
Cal elections, with the sole design of re.
moving il as far rs possible from politics
Yet cry comes to us from Joliet that
the democrats, who are said to have three
candidates. are striving to make the cleo.
ton a political contest, aiming, with a ma,
jority of 1000 against them, to elect their
three candidates over the two republican
candidates! The cry is one OF "stop thief
purely, and is raised in furtherance of a
scheme that Is well known to have Leen
concocted in Joliet, promrted probably by
and in imitation of the still hunt that was
made so successful In the 3ith representa-
tive district, to pass the word quietly
among the republicans to vote "solid" for
Mcltoberts and Blanchard, and let the de.
mocrats divide their votes between both de
mocrats and republicans or vote for the three
democratic candidates straight, the repub
licans in either case having immensely the
advantage.
But the "game" can not be made to work
at least in this county. II would hurt Blan
chard, who expects TO get good many
democratic votes, while the republicans
about here are so impressed with the
idea-we are unable to say on what grounds
that Judge McRoberts was considerable
of mugwump during the last presidential
contest, that they will certainly not vote
for him solely on political grounds. The
long and short of 1t is, Gilbert and Blan
chard are personally popular here and will
get large vote without regard to party or
purely personal grounds. The other can
didates will come in for their share of the
remaining votes on their merits. The vote
at best promises to be light, though We
hope the people will sufficiently appreciate
the importance of the election TO give i
more than their usual attention.
As to our home candidates, In whom W,
confess We feel the deeper interest, the
Ottdra Republican having taken occasion
to pass high eulog!um upon Mr.. Blan
chard and ignore Mr. Gilbert, we may bt
excused for saying In behalf Of the latter

bench h. has the advantage Of Mr.. BlAn

semblance OF a point, and that we will
quote: 1t said:
1.-THE Lerdo enterprise will bring trade
to the town of Yuma to The extent OF
$4,000 or $4,000, yearly"
in answer to the above we would ask
the sagacious editor the simple question,
"When will it benefit Yuma from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars a year," The
Colony ~ has been in existence nearly
twelve years, and the benefits to Yuma
thus far have been very meagre and
these to one firm only. In this conEec-
ton the question might he asked, "If the
projectors of the aforesaid Colony had in
tended from the very outset to do the
square thing, why have they not, in all
this time, settled some families upon the
land, and thus shown that their intentions
were honest and pure?" To enter fully
upon the discussion OF their motives
would take more time and space than we
can at present afford, and we shall leave
this part of our subject for a future
article. And as TO the pecuniary benefit
