EDITOR AND PRoPRIEroR.

In Spain in the district of Toledo
two thousand people lost their live
by flood last week.
JUDGE FURsT of the Center anC
Huntingdon judicial district is OF
to Dakota to see the country ant
hunt antelope and grizzly bears.
The Union, Snyder and Mifiin Co
Judicial district seems to be scare,
in candidates for the judgeship
The Perry and Juniata county dis
trict has large surplus of caudi
dates.
SKINNER, Chairman of the late Dem
ocratic state convention, denounced
what he called the soldier racket
That is what the leaders OF the Dem.
ocracy denounced during all the
time of the late rebellion. Skinner
was a soldier but he fell from grace
IT does seem a little strange to an
outsider that in district that is so
largely republican as is the judicial
district of Mifflin, Snyder and Union
that a republican caunot be found
who has sufficient courage to run
against Bucher for Judge. If the
fathers Of the republican party
had been such towards the republi-
can party would have fallen nto the
world still born, and slavery, would
be rampant 10 day in the United
States.
If the Republicans of Mifflin, Sny
der and Union ju dicial district will
nominate Judge Junkin Of Perry Co,
for Judge, they will have a candi
date who can unite the large republi =
can majority in the district and win
the election. Judge Junkin is one
OF the most learned men in the Com
monwealth, an every day sort of a
man with Judicial mind and human
heart that can so sympathize with
people in trouble over litigation that
they can look up to him feeling that
he will see to it that justice is done.
BoTH democratic and republican
Judicial conferences for the nomina-
tion of a candidate for President
Judge for the district of Perry and
Juniata will meet in New Port, Perry
countynext Monday. A wide spread
impression has gone abroad that
neither conference will be able to
agree upon candidate and that the
result will be the four candidates
now in the field will all run at the
November general election, but i'm
pressions are not facts and nomi-
nation next week may be reached
which is thing most devoutly desir-
ed, for to leave the judicial situation
In such chaotic state is to cast the
leayen of dlsorganization into the
ranks of both parties and start a go as
you please, campaign, that will end no
one can say where, for if the highly
respected offices of the Judiciary
are to be filled by citizens who ig-
more the primary requirements Of
the party to make a district nomi-
nation, who can blame the party
voter for voting regardless of party
ties at the general election. The
general desire is that each conference
make a nomination in accordance
with the rules that call conferences
into existance for nomination pur-
poses. 1t is true there is no legal en-
actment to point out the county from
which the judge shall be nominated,
but there is an unvritten law among
men, that of fair dealing. Perry coun-
ty, has had the judge twenty years
Fair treatment points out Juniata
county, as clearly entitled to the Judge,
the coming ten years and the longer
men view the situation the clearer that
fact becomes. Who will stand in the
way of giving to Juniata county ac-
cording to the rules of fair treatment
what she is entitled to on the ques-
tion of the judgeship?
