ed with this. and should be entirely
severed from il. The grotesque alb
surdity OF considering that the fate OF

ceived by a larger circle of observers.

With thoughts of home and friends reflected

rHE JUDIClAn sIrUar,Oy.

The GLOBE publishes this morning a
request, signed by many of the leading
attorneys of all political parties in this
city. asking the several political parties
to Join in re-electing the two members
terms expire with this year.
Regarding this matter there is a wide
difference of opinion among the Demo-
Gratis OF Ramsey county. laymen as well
as those LEARNED III the law" enter.
tanning the strongest kind of opinions as
to what should be done by the Demo-
Gratis OF the district at the approaching
county convention.
On II side are a large number of the
leading attorneys. as well as many Of
the voters who are not attorneys, who
favor the nomination of the present
Judges and their reelection on the
ground that the judiciary should be
kept out of politics. These gentlemen
point 10 the fact that the district bench
is o equally divided politically. there
being three members of each party upon
it. They also point out the further ia ct
that Judges Brill and Kelly have made
Sopo lCSOtQS 0itu L JIG dlu MI al
Judges.
On the other hand there are many
Democrats, some lawyers, and perhaps
more who are not, who are firmly con-
WINGED that the proper course for the
Democrats of Ramsey county TO take is
the nomination of two able. strong and
pure Democrats. The gentlemen on this
side of the question are Just as earnest
and determined as their friends who
are on the otter. Their strongest argu-
ment is the abuse of the appointing
power by the present governor of the
state.
The contest has already become very
warm, AMI the average LAWYER has de
veloped into the most earnest politician
in the community. Some are ON one
side and some OIL the other, and peace
Will not return to the legal fraternity
until several exciting conventions and,
perhaps. a vigorously contested election
have passed by.

THE TWO WAYS OF DOING 1T.

Two instances illustrate the differ
ence. Cal Brice sold out the Demo-
cratic party to the pro~iectionistS, and
Ohio Democrats raised Il howl and de-
nounced him, and the state convention
slapped him with a resolution demand
ing the election of senators by the peO-
pie. There was a fight and a rumpus,
and the Republican papers hailed it as
evidence of disintegratiOn. It's nothing
of the kind; only the way the Demo-
Gratis have of fighting their rascalS in
the open.
That's II case on one side. Now
for one III the other. Two years ago
the Democratic administration of Wis
consin was suing the eX-state treasurers
to recover interest money on the pubic
money which they had put in their
pockets instead of in the public treas-
ury. Senator Sawyer was a bondsman
of the ex-treasurers. His bank had
been in the deal. The prospect Of put
ting up a couple of hundred thousand
dollars was not pleasant for the lumber
baron. The case was to be tried before
Judge Seeberger. and ''Bob' Toilette,
ex-congressman. was the brOther-in-
Law of the judge. Senator Sawyer
tried TO bride Toilette to influence the
judge. Toilette Indignantly spurned
the bride and exposed the senator. 1t
created a profound sensation. Did the
Republicans join Toilette and denounce
the senator? Not a bit. They ''depre-
Gated" Foliette's ''indIscretion." They
roasted Bob for telling. Such things
should be smothered. They hurt the
party. On the whole, we prefer the
Democratic way of treating such cases.
We believe it is honester. and, in the
long run, better for the party, as it Ger.
tainly is for the general public.
