What the Clever Fellows Are Thinking and
 Writing About.

The Birmingham Courier, the most in- fiusntiai German paper in the state, Is strongly advocating the election of Judge Mcclellan to the chief justice hip:
 Among the candidates of the demo- cratic party for judicial position we find a gentleman who really heads no in- reduction and who is assured of the support of his fellow citizens regardless the Hon. Thomas N Mcclellan, at pres ent associate judga of the supreme court, and who is a candidate for the office of chief justice of that august tribunal.
 According to democratic precedsnt, Judge Mcclellan is entitled to the office by virtua of his present position segnfority of time he has served-but tn addition to this claim, he is one of the ablest officers the state ever had-a gen. tleman of great erudition, professionally and otherwise, wfo will grace amy office to which he may be called.
 Justice Mcclellan was reared in North Alabama, and has an unblemished d reputationr-a gentlt man who has suc- ceeded in every undertaking and who ably and with distinction fi.lsd every office he has held.
 He was attorney-gens sral before he was called to his present position, and we may feel assured that as chief justice he will discharge the duties of that re- sponsible position without fear or favor.

A CARELESS PETITIONER.

incumbent of the post. on a fairly plausi-

personal friend OF the official whose re-

him, without as much as examining them,
but with the suggestion that the official

for the scheme had been SO quietly worked

that Timolcon, the black stallion Grunter,

Rambler. the track dog, told only what
they Were asked to tell. And they were
not anxious to tell even that. They
would much rather have been left alone.
What they did tell they told without any
nourishes whatever, for they wanted to
get through and be done with it. Story
telling was not in their line, and. they knew
it very We'll; so they said what they had

as they We're concerned; setting worthy
