Hare Voice in the Selection Of der Judge.
There are fifty-five hundred voters in
this Judicial Circuit OF this numberle less
than ore-fith were represented in the Con-
vention which Judge Faulkner claims
gave him the Democratic nomination for
Judge. There are also forty -hve hundred
Republicans in this district. A commit
tee of less than twenty decided that the
rest of them should have no voice in the
selection of candidate for this impor-
tant office. This result was brought
about by the adroit manipulation of the
political organizations Of both parties, in
each of which. Mr.. Faulkner seems to
have influential friends. The same COM
bination has practically silenced the po-
litical newspapers, on both sides, and
placed only Mr.. Faulkners name on the
official ballot as candidate for Circuit
Judge. The most active promoters of
Mr.. Faulkner's candidacy have been the
agents and attorneys of the Baltimore &
Ohio R. r. Co. The railroads and other
corporations of this State. dictated our
present tax laws-are the people willing
for them to make our Judges also The
only protection for the people against
such combinations is their ballot rightly
used, and / thank God it is still white,
Mr.. Joseph Trapnell, of the Charles
Town bar. in every respect competent to
fill this high position, has, at the request
of many voters of all political parties,
consented to run as an independent can
didate for this Office, and can be voted
for by writing his name in the blank space
left for that purpose IN the column of
every ticket used by any voter.
This article is written for no personal
or political motive, but in the interest of
all the people, Democrats and Republi-
cans, of this Judicial Circuit.

BY the above it will be seen that the

was on the bench, was an average of
1870. 10 per year. and the last three years
an average of $55I.Io.
To any one familiar with the proceed

that the jury costs is not the only item in
which there is economy shown. The

suitors great deal per year and to wit

Is it not to the interest of the tax payers
to see that this economy is continued and

A vital Question.

Editor OF the SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON:
A vital question that confronts voter
in selecting candidate for any Office. for
whom he votes. is the question whether
the candidate selected will economically
administer the duties pertaining to the
office, or not.
This is vital question. because the
cost incurred must be taken from the
people by taxation.
One of the offices to be filed by cleo
ton, on November the Sth. next. is that
of Judge of this Judicial Circuit, COM
posed of the Counties of Jefferson. Ber-
kelley and Morgan.
For reelection to that Office the present
incumbent, Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, is
candidate and nominee of the Demo-
cratic party of the District.
No nomination has been made by the
Republican party
Has Judge Faulkner economically con-
Quoted that important Office. during the
time that he has filled it 2

Murder at Decorah.

H. A. Bigelow ]ies-dead at Decorah
at the hands of T. j. Clifford, a pro-
fessor in the Valdez Business College
of that city. The murder was the
elimination of a dispute in regard to
a boundary line between their lots.
No one saw the blow struck but they
had some words and Bigelow was heard
to tell Clifford ''Better be little car.
full" and then the blow was heard.
The weapon used was a heavy hoe
with curved tines used for digging
potatoes and the blow crushed in
Biglow' s skull. The deed was com.
mitted at about noon Saturday and
the victim never regained conscious
ness and died at about $50 that even
ing. Clifford was put under arrest and
is now in jail under bonds OF 100000
to face charge of murder.
Clifford is about 80 years of age, said
to be popular in the school and never
known to be of a violent temper or
quarelsome. He is the superintend.
|ent of the NJ. E. Sunday school. Bige.
low is an old man IA years OF age and
