DEMOCRATIC VOTERS TO SUPPORT HIS
REPUBLICAN OPPONENT
The nomination Of Isaac II. Maynard for the
place Of an Associate Justice of the Court of
Appeals has excited the Indignation and disgust of
the German voters throughout the city and State.
Few Republican journals have been out
spoken in their condemnation of the man and in
depicting the dangers of his election than the
"Staats-Zetung' Of this city. Day after day that
journal has denounced mis- nomina ton and called
upon its readers TO show their independence and
refuse TO support him.
On October it sounded the following warning:
The attempt to vindicate Maynard. ordered by the
State machine. is shameless affront to the voters
of the State. 1t Is not lessened by the concessions
to the enemies of the machine; for they were
fundamental necessity In our institutions Is TIE
courts Of justice especially Of the higher courts
Their reputation suffered sorey in 1891; and that
reputation would be entirely destroyed by the
election Of Maynard. "rhc staatszeItung'' sees in
Maynards nomination public scandal ana wouid
German paper it would consider it act of dis:
honesty to ask the German citizens to support
such a man for one OF the highest judicial places
Mr. Bartlett IL good jurist, an honorable
character and trustworthy man VINO prom,ses t ~

judiciary must. without hesitation. give MN the
preference TO Maynard. Therefore down with May

On October s tho journal declared that May
nard was not acceptable to the people and should
be turned down" on the following day 1t SAID
again cditorially: THE National political condi-
tons are unfavorable to the Democrats The mat
ter il made all the worse in eur State by the sins
committed by the party Leaders for long time
IL IS not to be denied that the rule OF the De-
mocracy I'm our State has been sealed by unscrupu-
lous acts and that the party suffers heavily from the
olum which the acts Of the Democratic leaders nave
brought upon IT, Especially In the large cities the OPP

The nomination Of Maynard-identifed with all the
unscrupuous acts OF this class-has caused revolt
within the part, which may be disastrous to II al
tho next election Maynard will certainly ran so
far behind his ticket that he will be defeated IL
the ticket has only small majority
Again on October 10. the journal says: Al
though the power of the machine Is great II Is

when intoxicated BY success. 1t reaches It's mana
out too far That has been the history Of all such
