with such signalability aud to the
entire satisfaction of the people, and
to which he has been nominated by |
his party for reelection, we call at
tention to some extracts, from the
newspapers of the district. written
shortly after he announced his can
didacy for the nomination.
The Charles Town Free Press said |
editorially lit IS doubtful It we have
ever had Judge who was as exped-
itions and prompt in the disposal of
court business as Judge Faulkner hiss
been. Courtions, always, to the men,
bers of the bar, lenient yet just in his
dealings with criminals, he has been
all that could be expected of an Off
cial in this position, and he has al
ways upheld the dignity OF his office, =
and again from, the same paper.
Tine district has been singularly
fortunate in the selection of gentle
men of very superior ability to thi
high office, and any occupant of the
bench, in the future, will be expected
to measure up to the standard main
tanned by Judge Faulkner, during
his term of distinguished service"
From the Shepherdstown Register
"Iudge Faulkner has been Judge of
this circuit for the past eight years,
and has made splendid record. Dig
nifed, conservative and Just, he pre-
sided over our courts with fairness
and ability, and he has wide circle
of friendsl and supporters who will
labor to see him retained on the
bench. -
From the Spirit of Jeffason-
Judge Faulkner has presided over
he courts of this circuit with dignity
and ability, oil course there is strong
sentiment here, that this honor should
come to Jefferson, this time. but aside
from, this. the eminent fitness ofJudge
Farltrer for the position. which he
has so long filled, will be readily CON
cede."
From the.Farmer's Advocate-''His
record as Judge needs no commenda
tion from US, to present his candi-
dacy in its most favorable aspect to
the. voters of Jefferson county"
From the Berkeley Springs News
Gle has been TREND and not been
found wanting. What more would the
conservative thinking voters and tax
payers of this district want"

man" Judge Faulkner has served
this district for ? years, and his re-
cord is an open book. He is admitted
by. all, to be, not only one of the
leading lawyers of this section but OF
the state. There has perhaps never
been Judge, in this Circuit, who
could dispose of the business of the
court with the rapidity with which
he has, thus saving thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers.
From The Berkeley Democrat lit
is superhous to call attention to the
marked ability with which Mr.. Faux
ner has.flled the important office of
Judge, snor to the great saving he has
wrought to the taxpayers, by his
promptness.in disposiug OF the bus
ness of the court because it is
thoroughly..well known to all. He
hasi had.manylperplexing and difficult
cases to decide, but has uniformly
acted co1scionhously, and with
strictJregard for the law and the
evidence"
From the Mattinsburg Herald Re-
puclicam. Judge f. Boyd Faulkner
has been nominated by his party, and
the republican party has announced
that it would put no nominee in the
field against him.
Judge Faulkner has been Oh the
bench for some years; has hhad great
experience and nobody disputes that
he is an able, honest, inst and i'm
partial judge Now such being the
case why should any republican
hesitate one moment to vote for him
