JUDGE p. d. PATTERSON.

The people of this county, ire
spective of party, are glad to know
that Judge Patterson will be a
candidate for reelection, and are
Justly proud of the fact, that so
far as is now known, he will have
no opponent. When we consider
the number of lawyers of distin-
guished ability in the Circuit, the
fact that their is no opposition to
him, speaks volumes in praise OF
the manner in which he has dis
charged the responsible duties OF
the office, during the past eight
years.
Though at the time of his cleo
ton he was a comparative stran-
ger to the people in the larger
counties of the Circuit, his course
has been such as to win their res;
meet and confidence, and now the
people of all over the other coun-
ties in the circuit endorse him as
fully as do the people of this coun-
ty, among whom he has lived for
more than twenty-five years.
The bar in this circuit has long
been recognized as one of the
strongest in the State, and the fact
that Judge Patterson practically
has the unanimous endorsement
of the same, proves that he has
the ability to properly dispose OF
the important litigation continually
arising in the Circuit and Criminal
Courts.
He Is courteous and polite to
everybody, willing to hear patient
IL all that can be said in behalf OF
any man or cause. And then he
has the courage of his convictions
and the firmness to uphold them
But he administers the law il
kindness as well as firmness and
does not believe the attribute OF
mercy inconsistent with the ad
ministration of justice.
The continued confidence re
posed in him by those who know
him best, is illustrated by the fact
that during the eight years he ha'
been upon the bench, there has
