All Tne Bar Can Only De c Ida In an Unbiased. Cd prejudiced wai It Left to It. "The Union." saith the oracle itself, "has declined to ran counter to a well established republican practice as to the selection of our circuit judges and may be excused ior failing to recognize the right of a democratic paper to enter into anv contest with it on the subject. Let it see to the nomination of demo cratic candidates in any manner it likes and no republican will take ex ception. And the Union would have found no fault with anv legitimate criticism it was the attempt to place it in a false position that it re sented." This much in reference to TheAk. ocs for criticising the attempt of the morning paper to forestall the disposition to consider any republi can candidate for the ludiciarv other than its exclusive candidate for anv office of distinction that may come up. And in thus committing itself, the morning paper, has decliaed "to run counter to a weU established re publican practice," etc. As for the democratic paper it has not sought to enter into any contest with it on tne subject, it has simply asserted that in view of the fact that a paper supposed to speak for all republi cans has sought to commit its party to one individual to the ut ter disregard of all others men tioned and none of whom it would have mentioned but for The Ak;ls, it felt the right to utter the protest of the people as a whole. This it did. And further. The Arots took the position that in the absence ot a judiciary system free from the in fluence of politics, the party having the power for the time being should select a candidate who would be. as far as possible acceptable to the pub 11c in general. It gave expression to its conviction that the methods of politics should not be carried into the judiciary and that the preferences 01 the community should be consid ered as paramount to personal as pirations. Now the Union main tains that the republicans have been in the habit of leaving the choice of judicial candidates virtually f the attorneys of the different counties. etc. This being the case, by what precedent has the Union become the dictator to the bar and under what rule of procedure has it felt licensed to sav to the bar that "our eountv" would probably be for a certain man If the bar as a profession is to rec ommend, this does not smi the pro ceedings of political consideration, for nas there been a time when a demo cratic attorney would feel that he bad a voice in the bar's selection of these preferences? The Non-Part Iran Spirit. If the submission of the question of the bar is intended and destined to be productive of the highest good, as it assuredly should be, then the spirit of the purpose can be better carried out bv the elimination of party spirit There is no law against this judicial district setting the example and establishing the precedent in this respect, such a course alone would afford the solution of the ex isting political coutroversy, and as a means to that end. The Ai:;ls sug gests without the knowledge of that gentleman, the name of Hon. E W. Hurst as as attorney eminently qualified to till the distinguished oflice of judge, and one that the bar, irrespective of politics and with an aim single to the best interests of all, and pride in its own action might well recommend from this county.
