I VEIssPoRr's CAND1DArE.-The 'Strol.
ler1 observes that for the responsible office
of Associate Judge the name of our esteem
ed townsman, DIR. J. G. Zern, is quite fa-
vorably mentioned by the Democratic hosts

would make a good judge, having the es-
sential qualities of integrity, intelligence
and experience necessary tor so important
a position of public trust. He is entirely
free from every taint of impure politics or
the damaging effects of man controlled"
and while. the "Stroler' is without special
preference in the matter of candidate,
still we must sayfrom our habit of common
candor that the Democracy could choose no
better, no abler man, neither one who
would rally the party more closely around
the standard than would DIR. J. G Zern,
the Democrat, who made his record when a
corrupt legislature attempted to saddle
steal of millions of dollars upon the people
of the keystone state.
