THE JUDICIAL NOMINATION.

The nomination OF Judge E. Boyd
Faulkner to be Judge OF this judicial
circuit meets with the hearty and un-
animous approval OF the people with
out regard to party. 1t lisa fortunate
thing for our people that lawyer so
distinguished and a man Of such abil-
ity has been induced to accept the
place. The selection of Judge Faux
ner will not only result in a satisfac
tory administration of the law, but
will save a great deal Of money to the
people. His prompt and business
like methods, his absolute inpartiali-
ty, the sureness of the legal steps that
he takes in conducting cases, all tend
to reduce expenses and save time and
money to the people. In view of the
acknowledged wisdom and fitness of
Judge Faulkner's nomination, we
think his election should also be made
practically unanimous and no oppos-
ing candidate brought out against
him.
We publish below the comments Of
the press of this district upon the
nomins ton.
From the Charlestown Free Press.
The rare opportunity of securing
the services of gentleman so emf
nently qualified for the bench as Judge
f. b. Faulkner has not been neglect
ed by the Democrats of the thirteenth
judicial district; and they have cordi-
ally united in asking him to succeed
himself in the position which he has
filed with such distinguished ability
for the past six months. 1t is more
than probable that the citizens OF the
district, irrespective of party, will
concur in the unanimous choice ofthe
Democratic convention, and that there
will be no opposition from any source
to Judge Faulkner's election.
From the Martinsburg Independent.
The Democratic judicial conven-
ton did very wise thing in nomi-
mating Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner for
Judge of this circuit. Although diff
fering in politics, we regard him as a
social friend, a ia Tented gentleman, a
learned lawyer and q fair opponent.
A man who goes on the bench must
put politics and prejudice under his
feet, and in observation OF trials held
by Mr.. Faulkner, we must bear testi-
mony TO his fair impartiality. If the
Republicans make nomination they
should be sure to select a very strong
lawyer, one OF good repute as to fair
ness, who will be able to prove a
worthy opponent and estimable
Judge.
From the Spirit of jefferson.
The nomination of Hon. f. Boyd
Faulkner ensures for the 18th judicial
circuit an able and efficient Judge,
whose superior will not be found in
any circuit of the State.
From the Berkeley Springs News.
The nomination of Hon. f. Boyd
Faulkner, for Judge of this circuit,
gives great satisfaction.
From the Martinsburg World.
The bench of the 18th judicial cir
been filled by a Judge who has by his
courteous and affable manner his dig
nified and efficient rulings, and his
won the encomium ofall. The action
of the Democratic judicial conven-
ton on Saturday last in nominating
the Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner without
opposition and by reclamation was
fitting acknowledgement of his justly
praised administration. The press
has been unanimous in its common
dation of Judge Faulkner, the people
have been as united in general ex-
pressions of satisfaction concerning
him. The entire circuit has probably
never given Judge more hearty and
entire approval. His every duty has
been promptly and intelligently dis
charged. When this is said what
more is there to say-what need OF
more said? There is some stiff work
to be done at the coming term of
! court-work that would try the mettle
of any man. Judge Faulkner will
bring into the court room intelligent
capa bility.
Saturdays nomination will give the
18th judicial circuit all it can wish
for in Judge.
From the Farmers Advocate.
The name of Judge Faulkner was
presented by Hon. w. H. Travers, of
this county, in a most BETTING man
ner, and the thorough appreciation
of his judicial ability and adapta-
bility to the responsibilities of this
important Office was manifested by
motion TO suspend rules and make
his nomination by acclama ton, which
was carried with enthusiasm.
