Judge G0ggln should issue per-

Judge DUNES explanation of the

The disgusting and disgraceful scene

are shortly to DE elected in this city.

1t is time for the Cook county bench

has been smlrched by this mess of I'M
utterable fuulness. The local bench,
once held in high honor, is made thing
for laughter. The ribald tongue OF the

Judge GogglD's court may yet become
famous through contempt proceedings if

Judge Goggin's decision in regard 10

The retreat of his brother judges from

The best thing to be done is for Judge
Goggin's friends to call his attention
| with no loss Of time, to the serious error
he has committed, which if not corrected
! will put practical end to his usefulness
on the Cook county bench and deprive
him of the respect of every lawyer al

court and to allow the decision of the

This extraordinary proceeding Is the
subject Of excited comment by lawyers
and others. Nothing like it ever oc.
Cured in the courts of record of Cook
county, nor anywhere else in courts
where dignity, courtesy, sobriety and
good order prevailed. The general
opinion is that Judge Goggin's course
was caused by lamentable temporary
lnhrmlty of temper, or by a personal
condition not favorable to judicial pro.
priety and good conduct. In either
case it is greatly to be deplored.-Chi-
cago Herald.
The bench of Cook county was dis
graced yesterday as it was never dis.
graced before. There are traditions OF
similar scenes in justice court in the
early days of Chicago, but no Judge
sitting III court of record in this coun
ty has ever made such a sorry and dis
graceful exhibition of himself as die
Judge Goggin. 1t may be SAID
that the people of Cook county
have only themselves TO blame for elect
ing such man TO the bench. They
were warned in advance. One of the
Chicago organs of the party which i:
responsible for his nomination called
him, in bitter and suggestive jest
GrOggin. Now that he ha:
himself proclaimed his true character il
Is to be hoped that all good citizens
without regard to party, will unite il
demanding his Chicago
