Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con.

Der election.
Judge Henderson, though of mature and
rlpened manhood, is still in the prime and
vigor of life He is a man of rare natural
endowments, OF extensive scholastic attain
ments, of most excellent learning in his pro.
tession--having always been close and dis
eliminating student, and besides, he brings
to the position long and varied experience,
having been engaged in nearly every i'm
portant case tried in this Court since his ad-
mission to the Bar-he brings, in fact, to the
position more than the lucubrations of TWEEN.
ty years, and is Il man of unsullied reputa-
ton. IL is rare that one so thoroughly equip
ped by nature, requirements and expert
ence, and enjoying SO largely the favor and
patronage of the people is willing to relin.
quish the active pursuit of his profession
and retire to the Bench, while still in the
prime and vgor of life.
Mr.. p. T. Pampel, of Frederick, seconded
the nomination, as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Genilemen of the Con-
vention
IL gives me pleasure to arise on this occa-
sion and add my hearty approval to the
nomination of Judge Henderson, and ap-
preciate the opportunity, not only as del
egate to the convention, but rs member OF
the bar and citizen of this judicial circuit.
1t ia the duty of the people, in making
their selection OF Judge, to choose one who
is able to understand our organic law. Such
a man is Judge Henderson. Possessed OF
the qualifications characteristic of the true
gentleman, he combines with these the three
| attributes essential To make a proper Judicial
officer, and these are: high legal attain
ments. patience, and conscientious regard
tor Justice.
Al no time in the history of Frederick
and NJ onigomery counties has there been Sc
vital necessity for the people OF both coun-
ties to rise To the emergency of the occasion
and guard their constitutional rights by the
choice of man whose legal ability is their
safest assurance that their lives, liberty and
| property will be held secure. And at this
particular time, when personal animosities,
political factions AMI party prcjudices are
attempted 10 be- usr,i To exasperate their
| passions and blind their reason, it is oppor
tune for all citizens, Democrat or Repub
! can, white or black, to appreciate the i'm.
porlance OF the hour aud be guided by an
I intelligent judgment, and preserve the judi
ciary free from the clash OF contending lac
tons aud political bias and cast their votes
| Tor the man most qualified To fulfil the high
and important office of Judge.
So long as the people of Maryland are
| actuated by this kind OF spirit towards the
judiciary o! our State and value their worth
! by their capacity to correctly expound the
law aud execute it with justice and modera
ton, so long will the people of this proud
| State have no reason to complain OF an IN
traction of their constitutional protection.
The highest legal attainments are neces-
I sary to fit man tor the position OF Judge
ship; for without these he can have no cor
rect legal opin ion of his own and becomes
the servient tool OF his own misguided rea
son Leciding gra We questions, without know
ing right from wrong.
Judge Heud erson has already proven him
self worthy to be called Judge Ills pa
thence and attention on the Bench his quick
perception to grasp the various points under
discussion, his familiarity with the law, his
convictions of right and wrong and his firm
ness to adhere to those convictions, make
! him pre-eminently the man OF the whole
people and one whose judicial career Will
add more ustre to the galaxy OF Montgom'
ery's distinguished jurists.
Speaking for the people OF FREDERICK
county, let me state right here that our peo
pie have learned to love Judge Henderson
as man, lawyer and judge, and il Ole
Montgomery will do her duty on the day
the coming election to one OF her mobiles
sons, she will ind her sister, across the wa
ters of of the Monocacy, will not be slow II
showing her love, friendship and esteem FOL
the one she hon ors.
