POLITICAL NOTES
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< =

What has become OF George Arnold?
Civis has carefully scanned every news
paper to find out where he keeps himself.
30 far no public announcement has been
made Of his appearance At Republican
this city and county Arnold has not been
present ha tho flesh and at the two pavilion
meetings he failed to take the platform
with Candidate Gage or In any other way
to lend his smiling countenance to the sue
cess Of the Gage rallies.
Judge w. NJ Conley Of MADEIRA, nominee
for associate justice Of the supreme court,
Is in the city and will remain for . few
days. Judge Conley Is one OF the most
popular men Of Central California. He
has been elected Judge Of the superior
court OF Mariposa county three times and
probably would have been reelected for
life had not the Democratic state conven-
ton nominated him for associate Justice.
Judge Conley's record upon the bench
has been a theme for much praises by those
who know him best and his reputation as
an upright man and able jurist Is not con-
nned to MADEIRA. His enthusiastic support
ers In the state convention claimed that
he would carry every county In the great
San Joaquin valley by the largest major
tiles ever given In the history Of the state
and that on election day 1t will be found
that Judge Conley's vote is second to none.
II one may judge Of these prophecies by the
favorable reports which come this way
they will undoubtedly be fulfilled
The herald., 1898-10-08

Judge Conley Is fortunate in having upon
the ticket with him Judge Van Dyke Of this
city. whose ripe judgment and long expe-
rience as a jurist fittingly qualify him to sit
upon the supreme bench. Like Judge Con-
ley, Judge Van Dyke Is held In high es-
TEEN as a man, as lawyer and as judge
For forty years he has been a prominent
figure in state affairs. First as member
OF the legislature. then as a member OF the
state constitutional convention, and later
as . practicing lawyer. he has enjoyed the
advantage OF an intimate acquaintance
with the laws which II elected he will be
called upon to interpret.
