qME DUTY a. THE HOUa.

the DUTY ca THE H0Ja.
On Thursday next the people Of
Tennessee will be called upon to
exercise an important prerogative-
that OF selecting public officials
some Of whom will hold their trusts
for period Of eight years. The
selection of the Judiciary, is the
most important duty the citizens of
a sovereign state are called upon to
perform, and they should be selected
because Of their known fitness for
the positions they seek.
In making these selections, the
voters should lay aside all bias or
prejudice, and vote for the best in
terests Of the people. Those men
should be selected who will dispatch
the public business intelligently,
honestly and rapidly. The Supreme
judges, being the court Of last re-
sort, so far as suits between the
citizens Of the same state are con-
cerned, should be men of learning
and ability, and should be thorough
ly in harmony with the democratic
idea OF the rights of the people, I'M
der our constitution, and the relation
they sustain to the Government
itself. They should be men who
believe that under our organic law
the powers of state and national
legislatures should be confined, strict
", to the powers given, or with
held, by the constitution, and thai
all power emanates from, or resides
in the people. The character Of men
we have been attempting to describe
will be found In The nominees of the
Democratic party for Supreme
Judges. They are gentlemen whC
C are learned in the law, are above
, suspicion, and are in every respec
: worthy of the confidence of the pee
e pie of tennessee. If the democrat
0 will do their duty the oft repeated
y boats of our political enimies tina
: Tennessee would be Repubhcanizet
this year, will be shown to be false
b and q glorious victory for the PEG
k pie will be gained all along tn
line Hon. A. g. Hawkins, tn
democratic candidate for Chancel
). Tor, is a fine lawyer and a worth
gentleman He is entitled to tn
2 support of every democrat in thi
. ChancerY Division. He has no op
es position, but the people should Civ
ID him solid vote anyway It woul
re be a deserved compliment, beside
the Republicans may put a man o
n their ticket for that place. The Coz
yention which meets in Memphis 0
tomorrow will nominate a candidat
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We don
y know who it will be, but we ca
safely say he will be q man who wi
e command the respect, and the SUI
y port of the democrats of this Judici'
Circuit,
6, The voters of this Judicial Circu
D. will be notified of the nominee l
4, q due time. Every democrat shOul
= see that the names Of the demOcr
n tic nominees are all on their ticket
8 before they are placed in the baIlo
box. AS between the different dem
is cratic candidates for the warrior
county offices, and for Judge of ii
Circuit Court, the Bulletin has la
nothing to say. They all claim
be democrats, and it is not our pu
IN pose to waste our ammunition
nv democrats, but when ever a repub
or can pokes his head out for an ofiC
be we intend to shoot at him. In Il
or selection Of all officers we are alwa
Id for the best democrat, If he is We
thy and capable of discharging t
duties Of the office for which he IS
ne candidate Let none but goo
go working democrats be put on guar
tic is our motto
