Cullen. He has naturally and to re

Although popular in great degree
and q thorough Democrat from principle
and lending his time and his talents ID
many successive po itlcal campaigns by
way OF speech making and argument for
the maintenance Of Democratic princi-
pies and the promulgation of the same,
yet it has always been without reward
from his party, for he has never sought
office, but has always preferred to apply
! himself to the study of the law and the
practice Of his profession II is thus that
he hes become a thoroughly equipped
lawyer. His literary tastes have led him
to extended reading of the classics, the
leading magazines and periodicals OF
this country as well as the leading works
Of advanced thought. Being graduate
Of Yale Colleg la the class Of lS4S, be
had we'll laid the essential classical and
literary foundation to enable him to
prosecute his legal studies intelligently
and with effect under the direction Of his
father, then one Of the leading lawyers
Of the state His long experience as an
active lawyer, the early part Of which was
spent ia partnership with his father. his
legal bent Of mind, his excellent memory,
his passionate love for his profession and
his delight Of research into the intrica-
cles Of the law, combine to make him a
ready counsellor and an able advocate.
Mr. Cullen is a broad-minded man in
his views and pains taking and thor
oughly honest la business and is one of
the most affable men living, warm
hearted, generous and sociable with his
fellow men He Is elways accessible to
his friends, and, in fact. easily approached
by everybody, stranger or otherwise, and
nothing N his power seems ever too
exacting for him to do for friend. He

sion of all his physical senses and mental
faculties as when 20 years younger. His
Judgment is as sound, his perception as
clear, and his mind as vigorous and active
as It was score Of years ago.
Nobody denies that If he should be
elevated to the bench he would be per-
fectly congeuial TO the Judiciary as well
as to the bar and to all persons who
might have business Of public or off
cial nature with him. He Is free from
bias or prejudice, and could at all times
be relied upon to administer Justice in
accordance with the strict letter of the
law The love he has for the law and
the long continued practice of his profes.
sion, would tend to cause HIM to consider
questions which might be the subjects
for adjudication, always in proper and
. legal light. He would be Judge imme-
diately upon going upon the bench and
would, therefore, not be obliged to learn
the law and familiariEe himself with the
practice, for he already has a general as
we'll as technical knowledge Of both.
Possessing as he does very high sense
Of honor, he would at ali times avoid
doing anything that would Ia tue least
degree detract from the dignity Of the
bench or ths honorable and exalted posi-
tion Of judge II called TO fill the vacancy
In truth he is gentleman in the proper
meaning Of that term
Mr. Cullen's many friends in Sussex
county are exceedingly anxious to see
him elevated to the bench, and would
deem his appointment to the honorable
position Of associste justice Of the courts
Of Delaware as fitting and meritorious
recognition of his legal attainments and
high sense Of honor, and proper round.
