Now the issue forced upon us by Mr. Croker Is
the independence of the judiciary. l say forced
upon US because OF the reasons that Mr.. Croker
gave for the turning down OF Judge DAILY. Now. had
Judge Day been dismissed because it was thought
he had been long enough in Office a change might ut

would have been reJoiced at the awakened con-
sciousness on the part Of Tammary leaders at the

uprising. But. my friends, Mr.. Croker dscardeI
