HENRY c. CONRAD FOR JUDGE.
HE POSSESSES ALL THE REQUIRE
MENTS FOR THE HONORABLE
POSITION.


POSITION
True worth is more easily estimated
after the death of an individual,
whether OF a private or public relation
10 the community. II is then we sor-
rowfully realize our loss, and know that
the messenger Of death has taken one
from our midst whose sterling worth
was not fully revealed TO us. until the
Father Of us all has called him hence.
This truth can be said Of the late
Leonard e. Wales. United States judge
for the District Of Delaware. His life
and death are the best eulogy this COM
munity can offer, our sorrow Is our
best tribute to his memory. The mem
ory Of Judge Wales inspires the rec
ommendation Of q man to occupy the
seat left vacant In the bench. Of the
United States Court for the District Of
Delaware who measures upfully toallthe
requirements, and Henry c. Conrad is
that man.
President Mckinley Will appoint a
Republican as Judge. But that Repub-
lican need not be a bitter partisan. 1t
Is possible to find a man who Is loyal
to the principals of his party, but still
Is just as charitable in his regard for
differences exist in the Republican
party OF our state, It would not be wise
to appoint an adherent Of either fac
tion. It is necessary that the people
should have for a judge one who IS
strictly neutral in this relation to his
party They must have man who Is
not owned by either man or party, but
Is a true representative OF the people,
untrammeled by political obligations
that would stand in theway Of the dis
pen alton Of justice. They must. by ne
cessity, have n lawyer of recognized
ability and unimpeachable character,
and the memory of the lamented Judge
Wales should not be darkened by advo-
eating for his successor a man weak in
either OF these qualities.
The people Of Wilmington and the
state want a man whose qualifications
are indisputable: factional politics
should not govern the appointment.
General fitness, and a good lawyer in
particular should govern President Nc
Kinley In his appointment.
Henry c. Conrad will meet these re-
quirements. Mr.. Conrad is not q
stranger to the citizens OF the city OF
state. He Is known as a courteous and
able man. The bar recognizes him as
lawyer OF versatile qualities. His
public and private life are without {
flaw. He is, by reputation, a just man
What more can be said than this IN
recommending him for the judgeship'

would dispense Justice with the min'
