savannah,a Judicial Candidate.

The bar of this city yesterday took steps
to bring Judge Adams properly before the
next legislature for place on the supreme
court bench, if it shall be determined to in
crease the number of the supreme court
judges. The bar meeting was one of the
largest ever held in this city, which indi-
Gates the esteem in which Judge Adams is
held by those who are best fitted to Judge
of his qualifications for high judicial Office,
and there was but one opinion expressed,
which was that he has no superior as
judge in the state.
There is every reason to think that the
movement in behalf Of Judge Adams will be
successful. Everything is in its favor. This
city, although doing, perhaps, a larger com
mercial business than any other in the state,
and although furnishing very large per-
centage of the cases appealed to tho highest
legal tribunal of the state, has never had "A
representative on the bench of the supreme
court. Savannah, therefore, can claim,
with every expectation that her claim will
be granted, one of the new supreme court
judgeships if such judgeships shall be
created, and she can do this with all the
more confidence because of the eminent fit
ness Of the candidate for whom she seeks
the honor.
OF course there will be other candidates,
and there will be doubtless a good deal of
hard work done in their behalf, but if merit
is given the consideration to which it is
entitled Judge Adams will be one of the
new supreme court judges.
