AN ABLE MAN.
An evening contemporary recent
saw fit to attack the professional abilit
of H. @. Dillon, the Democratic nomi
nee for city attorney. 1t printed mum
ber of interviews to show that Mr.. Dill
Ions reputation as lawyer in this cit
was of no consequence, and that he ha
had no cases in court. The facts of tn
case are that Mr.. Dillon as lawye
stands much higher at the Los Angelo
bar than does James McLachlan. MI
Dillon was known to the people her
long before Mr.. McLachlan became th
accidental nominee of the RI
publican party, for district a
torney two years ago. He wa
a legal practitioner when Mr.. Nj
Lachlsn was yet at college and wa
recognized as one of the foremost Law
yers of Denver, COL, for years. As t
whether he has had any practice befor
the courts here it is only necessary t
state that during the last two years b
has been the attorney in 15 cases in th
superior courts, IS equity cases in tn
| federal courts, as we'll as nine othe
suits in the United States courts. Th
Republicans gain nothing by comparin
the legal ability of H. @. Dillon wit
that of James McLachlan.
