DISTRICT COURT JUDGEsHIp

We believe it no exaggeration to
say that the petition signed by tho
members of the Perth Amboy Bar
Association in favor Of the reappoint-
ment Of Judge c. C. Hommann to
the district court bench in this city,
expresses the sentiment Of ninety
eight per cent. of the public In gen.
eral. We know of no man who is
moro universally liked than Judge
Hommann. His eminent fitness for
the position he holds is recognized by
ell.
OF o calm. judicial temperament.
never known to be fused or excited,
always polite and courteous, showing
the utmost consideration and pa
tience; a man of long experience,
thoroughly posted in the law and
possessing q dignified bearing withal
Judge Hommann makes an ideal
man for the bench. We doubt if
there is to be found anywhere In h
state OF New Jersey a district court
that Is handled in a more capable
manner than Is the district court of
Perth Anlboy.
What is there that can be said
against Judge Hommann that would
cause his removal? In experience,

In politics he has been q lifelong
Democrat, always regular and q firm

nde valuable service to the city
and state, always with honor n
distinction both to himself and to
those he served and with credit to
his party. We cannot conceive OF
n legitimate excuse for Governor
Edwards refusing Judge Hommann a
reappointment.
There Is just one reason for Such
action. Senator Thomas Brown to
whom the governor viii naturally

poIntments In Middlesex county, may

now occupied by Judge Hommann

waterways of this vicinity an ardent

and consistent advocate.
Mr.. Scully was one of the builders
of South Amboy. His extensive coal
shipping piers and line Of boats
brought prestige to the city and gave
employment to hundreds of men.
Always a friend OF the poor, he came
to be looked upon as q father by
those whom he had aided. Many a
young man owes his start in life to
the change given him by John Scully
working on the coal docks.
Mr.. Scully's home at the foot OF
Augusta street in South Amboy had
many attractions. Much of the land
he reclaimed from the bay, building
a strong seawall to protect the prop
erty from the ravages of the storms.
Upon the grounds thus protected
beautiful gardens were laid out, a
joy to everyone who had the ppor
tunity to visit them.
Mr.. Scully has always been inter
