Judge j. NJ. Kennedy to the Circuit
bench. 1t is beyond the power of the
Banner Democrat to place the gentle
man in better light before the public
than that in which he has always stood.
His career is rs open and untarnished
as that of any citizen of East Carroll,
and his life is, and has always been.
the embodiment of those ch.racteris-
tics aud principles which nake man
honored among men. As Il Democrat,
Mr.. Wyly bas been answering in his
politics and firm in the faith OF bis par
II. He has never allowed himself to
be led astray by temporary winds Of
doctrine. but has persistently hewed
to the line. His universal popularity
| is his best eulgy. and the BID cal
do nothing more than echo The sealti
ments of popular feeling. AS lesis
later. If elected, he will guard well th'
interests OF the State and Of East Car
roll aud his proverhiaI integrity vii
surely win for him the implicit faitl
that the trust whicl, may be reposed il
him will be faithfully kept.
