Grief JUSTICE ROBINSON, lately an.
pointed by Governor Reynolds. took
his first seat on the bench Monday
morning, at the re-convening of the
Superior Court of New Castle county
The absence of the associate Judge
from Kent county necessitated an adj
Journment. 1t is very gratifying to
know that the appointment of our new
Chief Justice has been 50 favorably re-
eeiVed throughout the entire State and
we are glad to see that the Governor
has abided by the popular opinion of
his people. We have no doubt but
that Chief Justice Robinson will 6Il
his important place with ability, and if
the Governor does as we'll in his choice
for the Associate Justice, we will have
bench that will be pride to our Dia.
mOnd State.

Ex-Chief Justice Comegys who has
recovered so many times during the
past weeks from what was considered
a dying condition, and it was thought
day or two ago had reached his last
sinking spell, rallied again and still
lives, if he has not died the last few
hours. The end of the man who has
filled large place in position and
public confidence, must come soon.

ONE day last week a reporter tool
the trouble to poll the members of the
Legislature, so to speak, on the gues.
tion OF nOn-partizan judiciary. The
result was that half, if not moro. ex.
pressed themselves for non part'z1n
judiciary, number of them though
democrats going SO far as to name
James Pennewill as the man the Gov.
ernOr should appoint from Kent
county. Such feelings as this takes off
the bitterness Of politics in its partizan
aspect, and puts in its place coloring
Of patriotism. Mr.. Bayard, on being
interviewed on the subject, said
Il think that the appointment of a
solid Democratic bench wguld he :,
very grave error, even from a marty
point of view. There is 10 branch Of
public service where n-partisanship
Is 80 essential as 10 our courts of JUS
tlce. am decidedly Of the opinion
that the bench should be nOn- partisan
and that a Republican judge from
Kent should be appointed
The EUery Evening in discussing the
same question said
The bench ought not to be com.
posed wholly of men Of one political
party II there were even an equality
ia the character, attainments and Rt-
neSsof tEo aspirants in the county,
Tor one Of these vacancies, weight
should be given in favor of avoiding a
soidly partisan aspect Of the judicial
body. 1t Is not simply a just demand
Tor minority representation, but Il is
the moral adjustment of body intend
ed for the administration of impartial
Justice that forbids the bench TO be |
composed solely Of men of one political |
party"
