Mirror and Ledger9 Are you going to be-
lieve that any man who is as bad as they
picture him out to be could have escaped

in community where there are so many
lawyers hungry for business? Are YOU

against one of our good citizens whose
only crime seems to be to aspire to posi-

will turn their sword into plowshare
which Will completely pillow under and

without its power? Do you realize with

hold in awe and reverence the eyes of all
other nationsP Do you realize that with

actor OF one of Americas typical, self
made citizens, and elect to the Judiciary
our candidate and the Poor Mans candi-
date, Geo. ii. Higgins, Esq, who will fill,
with honor TO himself and to his constit-

means demonstrate once more the beau
ties and privileges of American citizenship
where all men have equal rights without
regard to race or previous condition? Do
you realize that this same use of this bal

next, will proue an incentive to other
MOrthN, sell-naue, young men To strive
for similar promotions, and be convinced
that with true merit, an honest and an
upright life, clear conscience and a stur-
dy pluck, that there is not sufficient
amount OF acrid venom in any party, even
when assisted by eve, the Bar" to keep
such man down?
This mighty ballot belongs TO every free
American citizen without any regard to
his wealth or his poveety. God grant The
day near at hand when in its state of pur.
ity it will be used only in the best inter-
ests of our common country, e!evating to
official positions men worthy of trust and
confidence, without any regard as to
whether they have money to muzzle the
press, or with paid silyer-tongucd orators
convince the weaker intelleCts of voting
for the wrong man.
When this happy state of things is
brought around, such self-made, thorough
ly competent and worthy men as our can
didate for the Judiciary, Geo. H. Higgins,
ESQ, will wind up their campaign with
such righteous majority as to completely
overwhelm and astonish all evil doers,
from the bought up newspapers down to

LOVER OF FAIR PLAY.
