RESOLUTIONS OF WISE COUNTY
BAR.

At full meeting of the Wise
County Bar Association, attended by
prominent attorneys from the counties
of Lee. Scott and Russell, held at
Wise G. H., September 23rd, with
Judge w. T. Miller In the chair, the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted
"1st. eve earnestly RECON-
mend to the next General Assembly
of Virginia the name of Hon. II. S.
X. Morrison, Judge of the 18th Ju-
dicial Circuit, for one of the Judges
of our next Supreme Court of APP
peals.
Judg Morrison has presided over
this Circuit for more than six years,
and we know him to be a courteous
and cultured gentleman, an able,
faithful and pure Judge. He is now
in the prime of life, is deeply versed
in the principles Of the law, and has
rare judicial qualifications and we
believe he would dignity and adorn
the Appellate Bench.
End. We hold that in the selec-
ton of our Appellate Judge, the leg
islature should, vhe;e practicable,
give preference to those who have
faithfully. and with marked ability,
served the State iii the capacity of
Circuit Judges. We believe that
Judge Morrison is eminently quail
fed from training and experience to
deal with land and mining law, which
is a class Of litigation largely pccul-
lar to this section Of the State, and
which must occupy more and more
the attention Of our. highest Court.

r,,,- a ! ,,,sata For she Legislature.

our Candidate For the Legislature.
Tn The selection Of Mr.. Irvine TO
make the race for the Legislature,
the Gladeville convention did well.
Mr.. Irvine is life long Democrat,
a good lawyer and q man who Is
universally popular wherever known.
If elected this legislative district
NAV rest assured that no labor Will
be too onerous; no exertions too great
for him to make to advance the IN
terests and material prosperity of this
section.
1t bchooves all true Democrats to
60 to work in earnest, and from now
on until the day of election use their
utmost endeavors for the success OF
our ticket Remember that an anon
ally; the Republicans, Populists and
Prohibitionists, are banded together
and are doing their utmost against
the Democratic party. The next
Legislature has important duties to
perform. and we cannot delegate
that duty TO men who arc in favor
Of sending old Malone to the Ben
atee. We want man to represent
us who has intelligence and courage
sufficient to not only devise ways for
our prosperity, and see that we get
our rights here in the Southwest
but one who will have the courage to
stand up and demand them. In Mr..
Irvine. we have the man. and II elect
ed, no one in the two Houses, COM
posed Of Virginia Statesmen, will
command more respect, or be super
ior in ability to our nominee.

and to unite with like committees Of

cults in using all honorable means to
secure the selection of Judge Morri-
son to one of the positions named by
the next General Assembly"
Judge Morrison was called upon
several months since by every lawyer
in this circnit, and many outside OF
it, to allow his name to be used III
this connection, but not until recent
" has he authorized his friends to
do so.
The Bars of Lee, Scott, Wise,
Buchanan and Dickinson counties
have all taken unanimous action to
promote his candidacy, and he will
undoubtedly be one of the strongest
men whose names will be pressed by
their friends before the Legislature
next winter He is universally pop
ular in Southwest Virginia, is life:
long Democrat, and his strong intel
lectual and judicial powers and high
character qualify him in an eminent
degree fer the Supreme Bench:

JUDGE MORRISON.

In another column will be found
the resolutions adopted by the Wise
County Bar endorsing Judge Nor
rison for the Supreme Court Bench.
Judge Morrison needs no recon
mendations at our hands. His name
is household word throughout the
counties of the district of which he
is Circuit Judge, and is the synonym
of all that is good and noble in
American manhood. Republicans
and Democrats, alike, speak volumes
in his praise, and without detracting
in the least from the ability Of his
opponents for the honor, we but
speak the truth in saying he is the
best qualified man in the Southwest
for the position. For years o prac-
t;tioner at the bar where he enjoyed
lucrative practice, he accepted the
Judgeship Of Scott county for one
term, where is dignifed bearing. un-
questioned honesty and fairness. won
for him reputation that made him
Judge Of this circuit.
AS circnit Judge he has added
new laurcls to mis- fame, and the at.
torneys who practice before him have
the greatest admiration for him Is q

THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE

AS originally marked out ny TIC
trainers of the Constitution, the Pres
ident was to have but little power,
and that was given as check upon
the legislative department. The
veto power was but little used by our
early Presidentsi they were chosen
more for their ability than for party
service.
Andrew Jackson was the first
President who attempted to coerce
legislation, In the famous Bank Bill.
The long and bitter fight Andrew
johnson had with Congress is q mat
ter of history. We was enabled fl
nally by the use Of the veto power
and the federal patronage to prevent
Congress from effectuaily carrying
out their policy. Today the power
of the President is immense. He
shapes Legislation by marking ont
the policy to be pursued by his party
and have it carried out, by holding
the federal patronage, like the sword
Of Damocles, over the heads Of Pep
resentatives. There need, however,
be no fear of the abuse Of the power
conferred upon the executive. Expe
rienee has demonstrated, as MIR.
Hamilton laid down IN the FedcT
azist, that this is really the weakest
of the three departments Of our Gov
crnmcnt. We have much more to
fear from the Legislative department.
The Senate is the only element OF
aristocracy in the Federal Constitu-
ton and corresponds somewhat with
the English House Of Lords. In the
Senate the states are represented in
their corporate capacity, and whilst
the House of Lords msy BE- swept
away without detriment to the Eng
lish Government, the Senate IS q fix
turc that cannot be removed without
dissolution of the Government. 1t
constitutes tho wisdom of the Gov
ernment and the long tenure Of otlie-
es of its members, gives it an ele-
ment of sta bility.
Finally, the slow, wooing Judicia-
ry is check upon the other two de-
partmcnts, who in turn are a check
upon themselves. There is no owl
dence that we are drifting toward
Capitalization. Mr.. Hamilton was a
great admirrer of the English form Of
government, and it was thought that
he favored a strong centralized gov
eminent; SO much so that Mr.. Jeffer-
son distrusted him. Time has at
last vindicated him, and he stands
today in bold relief side by side with
Washinton. AS final check upon
all the departments, we have the lat
ent energy of the people, which cor
responding to the reserve energy in
man, is only exerted upon sudden and
dangerous occasions.
