JUSTICE DAILY SPEAKS OUT.
MAD THE BRAIN THAT WOULD PUNISH
JUST JUDGE, HE SAYS.


BIDDING HIS RENoMlNArIoN-sPEEcH AT THE
FORMAL NOTIFICATION OF HIS CHOICE
BY THE REPUBLICANS.
Mad indeed. is the brain that concelves the
punishment Of just Judge. No subterfu-e
can disguise the wickedness OF the purpose Nor
conceal the threat to corrupt the one thing the
people most respect No labored effort TO pat
up what Is called a good ticket against him
can hide the true design. II is not question
whether you can get lawyers as learned. or men
popular. to take lis place. 1t is simply and
solely question whether the freedom OF ne
judicial office is assailed The Judge who has
done his duty fearlessy and has been deaf to
every consideration but justice, stands for an
immutabe principle. and any nomination Of
candidates against him, for the purpose OF
feating him, is the less calculated to
destroy the independence OF the judiciary and
is menace to the public safety"
In this vigorous language carrying all the
more weight because it was spoken by judge
Of the Supreme Court. Justice Joseph F. Daily
yesterday condemned the personal motives
which actuated Richard Croker il forbidding
Tammany Hall to renominate him for another
term in the Supreme Court.
Justice DAILY found the opportunity 10 admin
lister this rebuM to the methods OF Mr. Croker,
while acknowledging in the Lawyers Club. yes

nation by the Republican Judiciary Conven-
tion which held last Tuesday evening In
the Murray Hill Lyceum Justice Daily went
further In his denupciation and intlmated
that behind his refusal TO obey the behest OF a
political boss the sanctlty OF judicial office and
the independence OF the bench being
assailed
