FOR TMEU.s.M .MARsHALSHTP
JrGGe Wortl,in&ton to Seek Tn. d,rsln ellt for That Position.

It is authorita lively announced that Judge John l. WorthiugIon is an applicant for the office oI United States Marshal for the Western District of Arkansas, and t goes without saying that h9 will be 8 strong candidate.
 From a point of faithful and eifectaal party service there is not 8 more deserving man in the state than Judge Worthington. His qualifications for the office are equal to the best material in se.hia party in the district, while his sterling integrity is voucAed for by his hundreds of friends in both political parties. During his long public career as law yer, county ofE ,ial and land reg ister, thera has never anything arisen to Sst the slightest shadow of reflection upon his honor. No eoheming or political trickery has ever been credited to him. In all Of his dealings he has been the same honest and accommodating John his neighbofs know waen he was struggling for 8 livlihood down on his Dry creek farm. He IS truly a living example to disproYe the statement often made that dishonesty is essential to success in politics.
 Judge Worthington's political career began in 1888, when he Was elected as the republican candidate for treasurer of Carroll county in the face of strong democratic odds. In 1890 he was nominated for county clerk and Was defeated by the narrow lnar- gin of 23 votes. In 1892 he was named by his party for cou nty and probate judge and while the other n 9lninee of his party We're swept down b.y the prevailing great democratic odds, Judge Worthington was elected by pig maj lrity. In 1891 he was again nominated and was elected by 8 greater majority than were any of the democratic nominees on the county ticket, all of whom were sl co sfu save Judge Worthing- ton $ opponent. Commenting upon the ticket elected in 1894 the week following election, THE TRIBUNE had this to say concern ing Judge Warrington:
 John I. Worthing5on succeeds himself as county and probate sstdge. Although with demo- Cratic odds agalnst him he goes in with 400 votes majority. Ills superior ability and usefulness were fully appreciated by the people of Carroll county, hence his election is the result of good judgment both upon the part of himself and the voters of the county"
 It is an indisputed fact that the reforms introduced during the administration of our county 1affairs while Worthington was ' ynnty judge was the starting point from which an almost oyer- whelming county indebtedness has been reduced to a nice cash balance in the treasury, enabling the county to build the greatly needed public buildings which are now i'll process of erection.
 In 1896 Judge Worthington was Nominated by his party for repre- Sentative against that democratic giant, Hon. F. 0. Butt. In this race Judge Warrington had not only 10 combat the extreme per- s0nal popul; rity of his opponent, o0t this was during the memor~
 ae!e free silver campaign of Mr,
 bryan $ first race, and the defeat
 oI a gold standard advocate ln
 Afkansa, at that time needs no
 luisher explanation.
