How does be find it consistent with his
Democracy and the dignity of his judicial
position to twice appear before the Commit
tee on the Organization OF Courts and
make an argument against this bill
ofhceholder, who pockets from 5000 to
Sl2 coo per year in fees in this county, that
would, If the bill were passed, pass to the
pockets OF Democrats, can only be explained
on the ground that the Judge expects Re.

If so, let me kindly call his attention to
the fact that the Democracy OF this county
have elected men TO Office In the past who,
after their election, became passive Demo-
Gratis and gave the patronage of their Office
and extended their favors to Republicans
instead of Democrats, and every one of
these failed OF a denomination, and were not
nominated for that or any other office there

pass for these reasons:
l. The county OF Marion should control
theelection OF its own officers and in case the
county goes Democratic not be overridden
by Ga adverse majority in Hendricks County,
which is joined to its idols of Repu blicanism
and mock temperance, for although there is
not q licensed saloon in the whole county
the liquor dealers and brewers report heavy
demands from Hendricks County.
2. The present incumbent was repudiated
by the voters of this county.
The bill does not ABOLISH the Office but
allows the present incumbent to perform
the duties of his Office in the Circuit Court
10 which office he was elected.
4 1t is not a question as to whether he
or any otAer Democrat should be appointed
to fill the vacancy. That rests with the
Democratic Governor of the State.

and says 1.-The bill is obviously
unjust and unneeded. and Judge Norton,
himself Democrat, who is most interested,
is working hard to defeat it, etc. In answer
/ will say that the Office of Prosecuting At

when the Criminal Court of this county was
established in 1865 the criminal Jurisdiction
was divided between the Courts OF Common
Pleas and Circuit Courts, each of which had

which established the Criminal Court

subsequently Criminal Courts were estab.
hshed in number of other counties of the
State; but all have in turn been ablished ex-

In 1881 the Legislature was Republican,
and this county then as now in the same
