Reasons for Nominating NOn-Pnrtf-

Chicago,

Reasons for Nominating NOn-Pnrti-
Ticket.
To the Editor:
The Peoples party should be in favor of
the non partisan judicial ticket for three
reasons any one of which should be suf-
ficient.
First-The dearth of judicial timber in
the Peoples party from which to select can
didates. In order to understand the lack
of material the number of places to be
filled requiring lawyers should be consid-
cred They are as follows: Four judges Of
the district court judge of probate,
one county attorney three justices of the
peace. two judges of the municipal court,
II positions in all. Any well Informed per-
son can run over in his mind the lawyers
who have given their allegiance to our
party and the conclusion comes with ire
sistble force that the Peoples party has
not over half enough lawyers to I'LL these
positions There may be enough persons
admitted to the bar who will join our.
party after the want is known and adj
vertised to fill the ticket. But how will 1T
be filled? BY making our judicial ticket a
laughing stock for the country at large.
| Lawyers CD will join us for the express
purpose of going on the ticket for adver-
tisng purposes. Such individuals will serve
as catspaws to pull the chestnuts for one
of the old political parties, but can serve no
honest purpose our ticket.
Second-A non-partisan judiciary is the
aim of all good government. judge has
nothing to do with the political issues OF .
the day. He should be above them. BY
reserving to the Populists the right of veto
in this non partisan ticket we could keep
off it men with bias in favor of monopO,
lists A non-partisan judiciary is mmeas1
urable above the ordinary level of ordinary
politics. 1t is in no sense fusion. 1t is not
confusion but order. purity and honesty.
1t is an old trick to misname the reforms
of an opponent, and to give dog a bad
name and kill him." seems to be the plan
of those who cry fusion" but they are
not calculating on the intelligence Of the
Peonle's party, which can discriminate be.
tween the hybrid fusion and the thorough
bred, a non partisan judiciary.
Thrd-Three of the judges on the dis
trict bench at present the product OF
Gov Nelson, he having appointed three or
them and they were nominated for election
by the machine-his machine. The chain
from these men leads through their Gre
ator (Nelson) to J. J. Hill. The people
want none of them. Any change would be
for the better.
This cannot be brought about by making
a straight ticket for Populists to vote this
fall But can be, by calling in all parties
to agree on a non-partisan judiciary, and
reservng to the Peoples party the right OF
veto on machine candidates. Then the
people will go to the polls and for the next
six years the district court will be poor
mans court, and not, as it is now, a corr
poration's. fofCLlol.

Right You Are.

To the Editor:
l 1nclose one dollar for your paper a
year. l might read it for nothing, as it
comes to our office, but have come to the
conclusion that no honest man will long
read the matchless writings of Il. d.
without offering to pay for the privilege.
Politically, 1 do not always agree with
The Representative, and with others,
think it sometimes goes to extremes and
states things rather too strongly, but I
am now thoroughly convinced that there
is one thing even the eloquence and
fuency of 1gnatius Donnelly can not over
state-that is, the ability of the average
daily newspaper for downright lying, and
the distorting of facts in the interest of
the money power and rings.

of Marshall ILL.,, was awakened on the
night of Feb. % by her large New
foundland dog rubbing his cold nose
on her face and bowling. She awoke
to find the house on fire and her hus-

effort they both escaped being burned

fire, he bounded upon them and then
darted back toward the burning house,
looking back at them and barking i'm

to them, selling hold of their clothing,

as he believed-essential to the
present case.
At the next conference of Clayton
and Blake the attorney told his client
that he had seen the bill and petition
fled in the case for the claimant by
Colburn, who had become his attorney,
as he falsely alleged, on the merits Of
the case; and that Colburn had very
craftily stated all which Little
Joe might have remembered
and kindred, as well as of the
alleged murder of his father and his
own abduction to England; and had
cautiously avoided all reference in the
petition to any single fact which
would probably be unknown to the
claimant If his story were true. lie de-

A subpoena issued for Molier, and
that ended present preparation on the
part of the defense.
On the part of tho claimant, Colburn
was waiting to fnd-or to make
one or more witnesses who could rec

He encouraged Smithers to go round
among the older people in the vicinity,
to make friends and awaken sympathy.
And among these two witnesses were
found who thought they recognized
him. They were nursed, heard the
pretended Joe's story over and over
and were ready to swear. The silver
smith, formerly of Maysville, who had

subp9naed to prove its identity. And
