"We Seek an Absolutely
Impartial Body of Men"

What we seek is an impartial, an
absolutely impartial body; body
drawn impartially. so that the result
may be impartial. If we could put
all the names of all the men in the
county, good or bad. into the urn,
and then let the sheriff, by allotment,
draw the names from the urn, there
would not be any difficulty about
getting impartial jurors, But we can
not do. that, because in that event
we would not be getting an equal
representation from the different To-
calities of the county. So we must,
of necessity. have someone of suffi-
rient judgment, someone of sufficient
squanimity, someone absolutely
without bias, to make that prelim-
mary selection.
I'VE all agree that that ought to
be done by means of a commission,
representing at least two of the po-
litical parties, so that one may coun-
tercheck the other in his bias, if
even then there be a bias.
