millions of dollars. Since the first
meeting of five persons its corporate

THE JUDICIAL SITUATION.

plausible aud have strong ground
| As is known, the convention adopted
Congressman Rodenberg's motion,
that he judicial central committee be
empowered TO Ftfil any vacancy that
might occur. If this action of the con
vention Is adhered to the chances
seem to be strongly in favor of Judge
Nickers. The judicial committee is
composed Of the chairmcn Of the
county committees, each of whom will
have one vote There are tweatyfour

four ciiairnftm of committees. The first.
ballot in the convention probably in

the three candidates. On this ballot
the counties were lined up as follows:
