Nevada, Mack Is their worst enemy ana
the lawyers best friend, as we will dem
onstrate further on in this article. BY
virtue of Quelqnefois' harangue it is an
easy thing to assign him to the ranks OF
the lawyers, as the article has all the ear
marks OF 1.-THE man with an axe to
grind" and the mar from Douglas, VIII"
might have held an end of the rope on
the now memorable night in his bali
wick, might very well say "I'm up against
it," We wonder if the ethics oil the
legal profession permit the rendition OF
such II bombastic tribute from a practic-
ing member OF the fraternity to his sit
ting Judge. Even ii the correspondent
"was told" by some citizen of Douglas
county HJudge Mack cannot get the
Douglas county delegation for a renomin-
alton" it does not signify that any one
mar has that county in the palm OF his
hand to be dished out as he sees fit, or
that there are not a superabundance OF
reasons why Judge Mack should not Sc
cure any delegation from any county in
the First Judicial District. in fact as
we see it there are many grave aud
weighty reasons why Judge Mack should
not be renominated, much less reelected.
The essence of all reasons as tn why he
should not be nominated, much less
elected, in our opinion lies in the fact
that the record shows he has not the
ability and attainments, the proper
knowledge of the law, to ill the high,
holy and responsible position of District
Judge OF the First Judicial District OF
Nevada. He has a record that, per-
chance, will never be equalled, much
less excelled-for Teversals i'll the Su-
preme Court. We thoroughly under
stand why this should lift him to heaven
in the opinions OF lawyers and the rich,
and lower him % elsewhere in the opin-
ions OF the poor. We are a part and par
Gel OF the poor and see Out OF their eyes.
The only time We believe a poor man
justified in eursing God and his country
and wanting TO die is when he has been
robbed of his life savings through the
guise of the law. the medium OF the
courts and the decisions of judges that
would be reversed ii the poverty stricken
wretch could produce the wherewith to
carry it up. We have seen the suffering
it caused, and it is one reason why we
complain. We nay admit Judge Mack
to be punctual. accommodating, his
honor above reproach, that he fears not
aud is not accused OF favoritism, and
possesses many virtues; but there are
also many laborlng men in the First
Judicial District who have the same
qualifications and nobody ever thought
on that account they SHOULD be nomin-
ated and elected District Judge if they
did not have "a fair share of other and
more needn't requisites. Will the best
citizens or any number Of decent citi-
zens of Douglas county do their duty
and uphold the law if they vote for in

and condemn themselves and plead
guilty ii they do do it? Will not the
citizens of Douglas county uphold the
blessed right and privilege of citizenship
10y voting for thoroughly qualified judgesP
Does the poorest man who cannot afford
appeal stand before a judge who has
been reversed as tnany times as sus-
tanned the same as the most powerful
corporation or the rich in fishing his
rights out of its meshes !? Do the bur-
dens of government then lie with equal
weight? Does bounding q whole COM
munity with the sius of u few to bully
rag them into voting for a particular and
to them obnoxious person tend to the
republican form of government rs we
glory in it =? Is the matter not resur-
rected without excuse and with selfish
object? Give to the people of Douglas
county the blessing and the liberty and
the freedom and all the privileges the
constitution grants them. You cannot
always build up a single individual by
tearing down Il whole community most
especially when the means used are un-
just.
